I need the 3 for 1800 lol.
Small to Baffert and Todd.

I would appreciate Baffert not winning this race....thank you.

Practical Joke needs to win, please. though the 6 would be nice!

RHT2004 08-26-2017 02:15 PM

Im shocked no one gives the 3 a shot. I think he is the right turnback at a huge price and massive overlay pick 3.

Completely ineffective in two sprints this year. The one turn mile race he won has not produced a winner since, including a couple that went to minor tracks to try and break the first condition.

Good result for me there.

You give the best 1 turn sprinting 3yo a perfect trip and he is going to be pretty tough.

Pace was kinda meh but fair for all.

10 pnt move up 08-26-2017 02:56 PM

Tossing Drefong, used mostly 4-6. Baffert been on a bad stretch lately, gotta ride that train.

Shaking in the stall?

I have never heard that, how does a horse shake?

Plenty of horses do that if you happen to watch horses in the paddock, especially when getting saddled. Not sure why Wolfendale was getting dramatic with that.

Her post-race comments in the Personal Ensign were likewise overboard. Acted like Songbird backed out of the race and was eased down the lane, literally asking Mike Smith if the filly should be retired. She got tagged at the wire (and further exposed), but she certainly didn't regress from any of her previous races.

Maybe we ought to tweet her your "productive race" thread for the Ogden Phipps.

lol

thinking the inside may still be very good again. or at least lets say its honest.

either way that horse is no joke, basically only lost when he dumped the rider.

RolloTomasi 08-26-2017 03:48 PM

Is Erupt an overlay? Seems like 6-1 is a pretty sharp dismissal of the horse in a small field. He did win the Canadian International on firm turf last year with the current favorite nearly 3 lengths arrears.

Have to think his last was a throw out, else why would he show up here. Of course, adding Lasix would have helped (and probably shortened the odds).

I used him, firm turf has to be better.

That was like the Introduction to the Opposites on You Can't Do That On Television.

The European riders couldn't settle there mounts. Idaho practically ran off and Erupt had his mouth wide open down the backstretch with his jock opting to keep him off the fence early.

seems like the EU horses that have been sent over have just been a cut below this year.

King Glorious 08-26-2017 04:11 PM

Irap, Girvin, McCraken box

RHT2004 08-26-2017 04:13 PM

3,5,1,12
Then boxed with 3,5 pressed.
Then pressed to 3 again.

It's pretty sad, because its not like the turf divisions nationwide have any standouts. Has any US-based horse won two stakes in a row aside from Hunt, who I hardly would call a standout?

I guess we'll just wait for the BC and see which of Ulysses or Highland Reel takes to the Del Mar course the best and crown them champion.

Probably Highland Reel.

Sadler's Joy winning has absolutely ruined my day, I am usually not upset after a day at the race but the old saying pennywise and a pound foolish comes up again. I don't know if I am more upset that i was already thinking of putting him the plays or the fact that he won and the other horses I selected didn't win. I knew that damn Money Multiplier would find a way not to lose, plus the two Euros ran throw out races. Saratoga and Del Mar are real funny tracks

Same here i blew out of 8 multi race bets. 2 huge pick 5s that had 6 deep in Travers and all in the last.

RolloTomasi 08-26-2017 04:44 PM

These commentators are lazy. Irap went wire-to-wire in the Blue Grass and took advantage of a paceless race?

Sharp move by Mike Smith to gun for the lead. That horse had never shown that kind of speed in his stakes races (but did in some of his others). The race was sort of indecipherable because of the pace scenario. Didn't have faith that Always Dreaming would have the mustard despite the speed advantage.

On the other hand, Rosario was nuts with Good Samaritan nearly 20 lengths of the pace. There was no pace on paper, why would he stay so far back? The sad part is, the horse came rolling when finally asked which to me suggests that he has gears and is not reliant on a pace meltdown. Perhaps if he had Gunnevera's or maybe even Irap's trip he could have made a dent.

I agree with all of this. My father boxed 3,5 and we both feel Rosario gave the 5 way to much to do.
Mike won the race right out of the gate.

Songbird actually won. You idiots just haven't seen the real photo.

WTF has happened to Cloud Computing and Always Dreaming. How fluke were those Derby and Preakness wins?

Always Dreaming = Super Saver

RHT2004 08-26-2017 06:00 PM

108 beyer for West Coast. Massive performance. Clear cut leader of this division at this point.

Forever Unbridled then gets a what, 98? race was definitely not fast.

101-103? Probably big timeform considering the crawl she ran into.

I dont think it was the crawl, think it was average for 9 F

The travers pace was a little more solid though.

It was pretty slow and absolutely uncontested.

Craig tweeted something along the lines of a fast overall race based on the final time. None taken at all. They are super sharp at TF.

No, the mistake was turning a dirt race into a turf race. You take a speed horse and go slow, sure if you are not the dead ass chalk its a good move, with a filly that can really run you use your speed so the closers have to work to keep in touch so they dont finish.

That was like watching the Balston Spa that will happen today.

I bet the 4, pretty good I might add, but that was a very bad ride by Mike Smith, he knows better.

I believe Smith cost Songbird the win by not knowing where FU was, and when talking with Donna Brothers, he gave Rosario credit for keeping FU out wide.

If you look at her races, the slower the pace, the better she runs.

That SHOULD indicate something to you.

10 pnt move up 08-26-2017 09:36 PM

The race got a 121 for the winner on Tus, I would imagine its the same figure or slightly better for Songbird.

Its a competitive figure in any race that will be run this year.

You have to wonder though, with real pace, and not sure when were going to see that, if Forever Unbridled does move up even more so. Tough to say, she may enjoy races that are more run like turf events.
