I didn't compare him to a Big Mac...and actually Big Macs are quite good when eaten in moderation.

The Euros are probably better, and I'll go with the overlooked one, Stotsfold.

this is exactly the horse that would or could beat Rachel at SA. The public would go WHO?

Well if Sea The Stars or Rip Van Winkle beat her, the public would still go WHO?

Not exactly

From a value standpoint, I love this pick. Of the Euro's he got the best draw and it is clear for everyone to see he wasn't far behind Cima and Conduit at Sandtown earlier this year.

if that is true, no harm - no foul
very frustrating week/day... Good luck if you play the race.

It is true. I am playing it. I will post my plays here, Saturday.

having handicapped them and watched the videos all 3 foreign shippers are interesting. The weakest one is probably Gloria de Campeao. I will toss him because he "probably ain't", but his form isn't exactly clear. Not a lot of recent grass form. If you look back he was the pacesetter in a tough French race where his running line is probably worse than his effort. He is improving and appeared to run his DWC back in Singapore where there was no Well Armed, and it translated to a pace advantage. Still a respectable effort.
The other two are pretty even. In the Brigadier Gerard Conduit was returning from a layoff and spotting 7lbs, Cima made a last move to win a near dead-heat after Conduit put away the favorite. In the Eclipse Cima/lemaire attempted to follow the big boy(Sea) through the hole but was forced to check while Conduit raced clear on the outside, although there was nothing to suggest that Cima could have beaten Conduit on even terms.

chepest payout I remember was about $200 the year the tin man won the million.

Please get better soon!
