Hooves - what did you like about Burning Calories? I respect the connections but I'm not sure this horse really wants 10F on turf. . .

pretty much just coa agent ...and lightly raced, taggs synth to turf nos good robbie off...

did you notice being you said you see the same as Steve on some? your top pick in races 4,5,6,7,8 are not picke in steves top 4 in any of those races?

I think the 3rd race is being bet incorrectly, specifically in that #2 Bribon is twice the price of #5 Rush With Thunder. Rush With Thunder has next to no chance whatsoever while Bribon has run some very good races in NY and maybe was never comfortable in Florida. Whatever the case he is clearly a better horse than Rush With Thunder. Plus, Rush With Thunder's actual dirt races are horrendous.

I'm not in love with Bribon but at 16:1 I had to bet a little to win and used under the 3 and 1.

The 3 was awful.

Guess that last race took something out of him.

lol......he may be right......

Doesn't Jimmy Jump Jump look better than Jason's Prospect? And he's a better price?

Hooves..nice 6th race tri!

I am along for the ride on your P4 play.....

Late double:

4,5,7 with 3, 11

good luck to us!!

Not quite sure how West of Gibraltar is 3-1 while Diamondrella is 15-1. Very similar pedigrees and resumes.. Is Tagg alone worth swallowing 12 points?

Penna takes over the training of Diamondrella. Maybe he can step her up a bit; Violette certainly couldn't. As to why she's not highly thought of, take a trip over to the replay center and watch a few of her races.

I just took a shot with Diamondrella. The price was too good to pass on. Played in ex and tri with 4,7,8 as well.

Watch West of Gibraltar's last race. That was impressive to you?

Ended up being a head difference between them on the track, despite 20 1/2 points difference in the wagering. Congrats on the exacta! Can't beat those Rock of Gibraltars on the grass.

Must've been Violette all along.:rolleyes:

God bless ROC!!!

Thanks... Hope you had it as well...The price was sure there.
Good thing my fiancee opted to work the extra hour tonight or we'd be sitting in traffic (my idea of hell) on the AC Expressway right now.

Nah, I'm standing pat until Monday. Good catch though.

Took some action on Cat Radio in the 'cap. WP only.

GL everybody and have a safe, fun filled weekend!!

steves single and hooves 5/3 ==1100 trifecta

hossy knows i had this tri..lol the rock..

me too for a dollar

good job

Got the 1,7 for a buck in pk4. Anyone see willpays?

Diamondrella would have helped the cause tremendously...

Nice hit. West of Gibraltar won in spite of another terrible ride by Coa.

Nevermind... Crap

I have to ask... what did you make of the trip the top two finishers had. #5 Diamondrella seemed to be checking often. #4 West of Gibraltar was having traffic trouble as well.

REALLY? I thought Diamondrella had a PERFECT TRIP. I also thought that the 4 made a HUGE RUN to catch her. But both had nice setups as they were among the top 4 early. The race held very, very well considering the pace/moves in it.

But I really think that you might want to fire up the replay of the headon and see what happened to the 9, Cato Major at the gate. See if she had 4 lengths worth of trouble, which is essentially what she lost by.

Check out the chart.

I don't know about Diamondrella having a perfect trip. . . Maragh got her bottled up and had to check early on in the race. . . I DO know, however, that that photo costed me a significant amount of $. . .

watching live I noticed that the 5 Diamondrella (my big flat bet was on) was either forced to wait (jockey) or had to wait (traffic) to roll. There was someone causing her to stutter step a bit. The 4 was up then back then came again

I will have to watch the race replay after I get through my betting

the 1 had a bad trip

It seems that quite a few people had their money down on this horse today, so I don't want to step on any toes here, as, I can identify with tough beats. And, I was reacting to getting hammered at the gate and losing all chance.

Diamondrella and West of Gibraltar are sucking along inside, going with the flow. They both have to steady/check behind/between, with Diamondrella getting the worst of it visually but WoG in terms of ground loss. However, taking back when they did was a good thing, as they didn't continue on directly with the pace. Look at the chart: anything running forwardly (gaining) between the first 2 splits went BACKWARDS at the end. So, if Diamondrella doesn't steady, she essentially makes the same run as Sophie's Salad (the same goes for WoG). If this were to happen, the race collapses and something from the rear wins. If they had 'trouble', it was fortuitous. Especially for WoG, as she took back more than Diamondrella and had enough to get her late.

My last word on the subject.

I'm sure you're a better trip watcher/capper than me so I guess I'll take your word for it. . . Still a terrible beat. . .

I take my earlier statement back about Coa's ride aboard. The tiring Hunsley Bunsley caused Coa and West of Gibraltar problems. As they turned for home, Coa had a split second to make a decision and he could off ducked inside or stayed where he was and waited for a seam to open. He made the right choice, a seam opened up and he had enough horse to get up for the win.

I would have agreed with all this from the start. Diamondrella checked briefly so as to not get engaged early, and she along with the winner had very good trips.

It was a lousy beat because she was 23-1 and lost by a head. If she was 3:1 it would have been one of those " how did she lose? " beats.
