Paco Boy has never beaten Goldikova. He has faced her three times this year and had dead aim on her in the stretch in all 3. Even when he seems to be going better than her, she finds a little extra. At their best, he's simply not good enough to beat her. If he gets any serious action on the win-end it should be reminiscent of '88 when people starting raving about Warning as a possible upsetter of Miesque. He was up the track.

Proviso, if you want to get technical, has beaten Goldikova. She was 5th when Goldikova was only 7th in her French debut last season.

According to Facebook, Garrett Gomez is off Kinsale King and Martin Garcia is on.

I just had an Alaazo flashback....

even though I really like LAL, I think the Big Z will get it done.

Thanks.

There is a perceived hype on message boards and outlandish articles written by some but I have a hunch there is a silent majority just waiting to cash in on the value of the "other three" and many of those people are going to be disappointed. There will be value outside of the top four and I'm not convinced she will be favored come post time.

Will someone tell me I'm crazy for wanting to single Here Comes Ben in the Dirt Mile?

I'm not singling him, but don't think that's crazy at all.

I think he is the most likely winner.

No, but I can tell you other reasons you are crazy, if you'd like.

:)

Any horse that can get to the winners circle 3 times in a row with Solis on board is what I consider special in this day and age. If I have to crash and burn then this is the race where I'll do so.

:D

She'll obviously be under 3-1.

She will be under 2-1.

Paul

What I want to know is if she will be favored in p3 p4 and p6 pools?

easily
