Just for kicks - GREEN MONKEY Contest
 

Let's see just where everyone stands on the issue of THE GREEN MONKEY, as he debuts tomorrow at BEL in the 4th race facing 5 others.

The M/L odds in the DRF are as follows:

1 - SIXTHIRTEEN 3:1
2 - BUJAGALI 15:1
3 - ROI MAUDIT 5:2
4 - THE GREEN MONKEY 8:5
5 - HOLLA BEND 6:1
6 - SECRET DESIGN 6:1

All should include Finish Position, Lengths (either in front of the 2nd place horse or behind the winner), and a brief comment if you do so wish.

I'll go with THE GREEN MONKEY to WIN by 8 lengths (1 length for every $2MM)

Obviously, I'm no Pletcher lover, and you have to figure this horse is up against it, but how can you truly root against him?

Pletcher's Monkey by two lengths in hand

ROI MAUDIT by a head

Rain in the forcast, I am saying scratch.

I would hate to bet him with my own money, so I won't -- but I've got to think he's ready to go if Pletcher is finally tossing him into the fray after so many setbacks.

I still don't think his breeding is $16M worthy -- but I'll say Green Monkey takes it under a vigorous ride by a hard fought three-quarters of a length.

I'll say he finishes second, beaten a length.

I'm no Pletcher lover either but i like who owns him.

Monkey boy by 4.....

If he does run, he will win, but it will be a hard race for him. More than likely he will be scratched though.

The Green Monkey by 1 1/2 lengths.

Holla Bend first
Roi Maudit second
TGM third beaten by five lengths

Green Monkey last by 16 lengths

I am with the person who said he scratches.

Roi Maudit wins...TGM scratches

the saga will continue.....scratched

4th by 7 lengths....if he even runs

SIXTHIRTEEN wins by 2

Green Monkey 3rd beaten 5 length

1st) Sixthirteen by a half length
2nd) The Green Monkey.....broke slowly, rushed up, got on even terms...hung late
3rd) Bujagali.....finished with a rush!

I think Green Monkey by 3 lengths:cool: :cool: :cool:

The Green Monkey wearing blinkers by Bill Blass, a diamond encrusted bridle from Tiffany's, a saddle of the finest Italian leather specially designed and made for him by Gianni Versace and silver shoes will prevail by the length of Todd Pletcher's money clip.

holla bend leaves the monkey green with envy

I think he'll break quickly from the gate, battle for the lead, then pull up and be eased off. He'll be retired after the race because, let's face it, he's done enough! :p

JV is gonna gun the monkey and Holla Bend is gonna chase him down to win. I have no idea where the monkey is going to finish.

He just looks slow.

Nice overlay here :D

I wonder if we can keep this thread going for tomorrow's race ??
