More like Jewish and loaded with drugs.

Isn't that being redundant?

Repole stable.


Aren't they the ones that had one recently named "Always wrong Joey" or something like that?

Are they DT'ers?

+1 for not trusting Lezcano

We expect this from you.

I'm expecting a much better effort from Malibu Cougar in the 2nd. If you watch the head on of her last, she is forced to take up right as she is beginning to hit her best stride. Have to think she got a lot out of the debut.

I think there is a standout in there.

Before you tell me Im being silly because of the GOAT...
Take this info...
The 2 horses pressing her in the maiden race finished last and second to last. The day was huge AGAINST SPEED. This gal ran her EYEBALLS OUT. Im going through the charts of the day now, only 1 wire to wire winner. The early call leader finished 3rd twice... 2 races were total meltdowns even with slow paces.

I don't think I could take a stand on one horse in that race -- a few look interesting to me.

Of course she'll be tough, but at 8/5 or less, I'll try and beat her.

I might just single her and hope she gets home. 3-5 all look like spreads to me.

The 4th and 5th make it impossible for me to go near the pick 4. I'm a little interested in Johnny Two By Four in the 3rd, although that race is another head scratcher.

I want the Mott to be a stud.

I thought the same.. He should win or at least make an excellent account of himelf.. I thought Nolansgrant kitten in the 4th had a horrendous (trip) in his debut as well. How about Barrel of Love? The rain hopefully adjusted some of the speed bias on the turf and he looks OK, Not for Love 3 year old could be on the improve with 2 turns and fair turf course.. I am not thrilled with taking the short price horses in the 4th.. I will use the Dos Hombres as well he has a bit of a look..

A very enjoyable article:

ET

Friend or Foe for me ... classy hoss who should be good odds and is bred for 10 panels. I don't think we'll see a cold closer win this race tomorrow ... I like Ice Box as much as anyone else, but don't care for the lack of a lead change every time he's close in the stretch.

Good racing luck to everyone! :D

:rolleyes:

Very good deal.


Claim it as your own. Least I can do.

Steven H. Crist!

This is "pretty horsie" but Miss Keller sleeps with a stuffed animal:

Love that! How cute ... :)

:tro:

I think english channel wins the travers after all, he was the greatest horse ever...:)

OMG! that is just the most adorable damn thing! I am for sure picking her tomorrow :)

(Plus I still sleep with one :o)

Going with First Dude to wire them.

Something tiring about her action. See how she doesn't usually come back to race very quickly? She is either real exhausted, or sore from hitting the dirt a lil too hard. I think she needs that lesser class of fillies. I know she can do that ugly stuff, and beat lesser. That one paced stuff isn't gunna be enough to beat these. Rapport, and Beyondallboundarys are solid. There are some others that can upset on their best day. I know JV is a great jock, and the trainer packs it full of powder. Even so, If Katy fires her best, somebody will still get by her (late.) It's really tough to hold on to win graded races when you've got to use that action. Not sure what strategy i'll use yet.

If single = Rapport

If take 2= Rapport n' Beyond all

If deep=Rapport, Beyond all, K Kate, W Case, T Beauty

Was a pathetic ride by Robby on Rapport. M Garcia is a better rider in every way, and especially better on managing speed horses. I don't think they can hook up with her. He will just let her run a little more. It is Saratoga. So, I guess anybody can tire, but I wouldn't count on it. You just can't let a horse run a 21'1 first quarter at Calder. Every fraction was faster than the older girls ran that day. It shouldn't surprise anybody that she'd not be able to get the last quarter.

when in doubt use class
super saver towers overs this mediocre crop of 3yo's in terms of class
you've even got optional claimers in this race
few graded stakes winners and the rest haven't won or are trying to break through late
when are you ever going to get a derby winner as the third or fourth choice in a travers
when do you see pletcher in a grade 1 as a dog
11/6,4/all
love super saver in this spot
has a race over
the haskell wasn't as bad as it looked and this horse is not in the same sentence as the travers with any of the public handicappers

super sleeper

He does?

I don't agree with his reasoning, but I do like Super Saver a bit today. I think his Haskell was better than it looked, he'll sit a decent trip in behind the speed and he's one of the few proven at the distance. He's good value at ~6-1 IMO.

Yeah if you draw a line through the Preakness he looks a lot better. I just can't get that perfect trip in the Derby out of my mind. It should be interesting to see what Borel does out of the gate.

ice box and fly down exacta box.

Yeesh, I can't believe Cocalero picked himself back up after not just kissing the dirt once at the break, but twice.

I'm amazed Garcia was able to stay on the horse.
