I agree. I did not think much of Dank's Euro form when she came to Arlington, and in hindsight, did she explode - yes - exploded away from Gifted Girl and Ausus...

Romantica's win in the Prix Jean Romanet is the best form line between the two horses.

At the very least, the loss will hopefully make people spread a little more in that race, when nothing is needed besides him.

Especially with the way she was herded out at the top of the stretch.

Herded out by the filly who won the equivalent of the French F&M turf route championship on Arc day...Dalkala. Just sayin...

I agree. Thorograph loves the race too. Got a -2.25, which is about his career average.

Not to mention the "weatherproof" Polytrack was an absolute mess that day.

I find it hard to believe he will be overlooked. Maybe 4-5 instead of 3-5.

where is Dahoss ?

Havelock will be along in time in the turf sprint.

I think your wrong, to a degree. I think the favorites in many of the races are strong, though it might be more than one horse, I dont think you have to go too deep this year.

Distaff - Royal Delta or Princess of Sylmar are going to win
Classic - If Game on Dude breaks on top he is going to win
FM Turf - Dank looks serious to me
Juvenile - Havana looks like a standout on paper, Tap it Rich has talent
Sprint - I dont think you have to look further than Pointsoffthebench or Private Zone

I dont count the other pretend races as real BC races, but in the main event races I dont think it looks that competitive (though I will still bet some overylays)

I suppose in the classic one could take the view it could totally melt down, but on paper, there is a true standout.

I could easily be wrong, but I think some of these are excellent bet againsts. I would never want to take something-to-five on Game on Dude when Fort Larned has one way to go (and he goes fast) and Moreno as well. Top contender? Absolutely... could easily win by 10. But that doesn't make him a sound wagering proposition.

The Turf Sprint starts in the chute and they run downhill, cross the dirt at the bend and then finish on the turf (well duh). I just think horses who haven't run here before are at a slight disadvantage. I don't know who I like yet but, in this race, it'll be between the horses who have won here.

Good luck. He's a nice horse... just not for next weekend. :)

GAME ON DUDE FOLDS LIKE A TENT..vs real horses in here..imo

called it.some people at the bloodhorse should do a number on g.o.d folding vs good horses....
