tapin the eggnog already wac?

Wow, Franny! :D

If all the betting goes to the two AP Indy's, I think Uno Mas might deserve a wager. His first race on the dirt was significantly better than his synthetic efforts, and although the 2f stretchout is a concern, Asmussen is one of the best sprint/route trainers around. Add in the fact that the colt's sire and dam-sire were BOTH two-turn graded stakes winners at age 2, and I don't think the 8f will be a significant problem for him.
Unlike the two favorites, he also has a race over the course, and in my opinion, his performance that day was almost as impressive as Indygo Mountain's race at CD. At 4/1+, I'll play him.

I was nowhere near New Orleans.

Four and a half freakin days of no power, ugh.

Couldn't agree more.

You know I meant snow...ya big Goof.....:p

OK you 2 I edited it !!


Steve....make them stop this is supposed to be smart rooms only.... they gave no opinions just basement chatter....:D

I don't see any reason to like Friesan Fire here. Indygo Mountain certainly looks good and is the horse to beat but I'm going to try and beat him with Escalon and Uno Mas. Will play a tri with Indygo in all three spots and both of those two in all spots.

Well, Indygo Mountain was a late scratch. Code of Honour went out to the lead and held a slim advantage over 1/2 Friesan Fire through 23.15, 46.10 fractions. Around the turn, Friesan Fire went past that leader and seemed to have the race all his own if he was good enough. Uno Mas had tracked a couple back in third on the outside of Escalon and was also asked to move to keep up with Friesan Fire. By the top of the lane, it was clear that Uno Mas was going to win as they his 6f in 1:11.43. He collared that one with ease and won drawing off as much the best. Friesan Fire was a clear second while Escalon, who was really being asked to run going into the turn, finished third. Final time was 1:37.90.

In my opinion, none of these horses looked like anything that we'll hear much from as 3yo's, especially Friesan Fire. He looks like garbage to me. Hammersley wrote in the form that with his breeding, distance wouldn't be an issue but it's worth noting that the best he's looked was his maiden race and in each succeeding race, each at a longer distance than the one before, he's looked worse.

Why, what did I say? :p I just thought 9" was impressive! :D
