I love that Woodbine turf course, looks promising if the rain stays away.

will ginger brew be the favorite ?

You've certainly looked at the pps.....what do you think?

poor pelligrino..turning into perfect drift.........

I'm shocked he hasn't given us his cold P3 for these races yet.

He's waiting until he reads all the names.

i have looked at the pp's... and IMO she will go off as the favorite.

i just double checked, just for you BTW, and she actually lays over these, she should be around even money, anything higher is value.

Even money in a 14 horse field?

The usual $16K monopoly money?

"Ginger Brew, whose presence adds plenty of spice to the Queen's Plate, is the only filly in the field and comes off a smashing victory for trainer Brian Lynch in the 1 1/8-mile Woodbine Oaks on June 8. "Supplemented to the Queen's Plate at a cost of $25,000, Ginger Brew will break from post 10 after drawing the eighth pick and is the projected third choice at 4-1 under returning rider Javier Castellano.

(drf)

ok then champ... what do you expect her odds to be ? off of her last over this track, and the group shes facing, i'd say no better then 7-5

Additional Queen's Plate info, for anyone interested...

There are 5 maidens and 11 horses eligible for a N1X in the Queen's Plate and a filly is going to be a heavy favorite. Get your PPs handy.

NT

Love It

It's a pretty thin field to say the least. The filly is OK....but so is Bond's maiden that ran second in the Plate Trial.

Probably not a good price but I like Not Bourbon and even Palmers a little.

Ginger Brew was impressive the way she handled the kickback in the OAKs. Castellano shipped in and rode that race as if he wasn't the least bit aware that there is a massive kickback cloud. She has sharper faster races than Solitaire thus far. Needs to use the tactical speed a bit more.

Solitaire is the best animal. He will have to circle the field after a grueling trip to win.

tough race to handicap.

The 2 horses likely to be overbet in the Plate are Ginger Brew and Solitaire. I'm going to backtrack a little on an earlier opinion I made of Not Bourbon not being able to get the 1 1/4, it's still a question mark but after reviewing the Plate Trial the only horse making ground on him was Solitaire in the stretch. If there are enough question marks about him getting the 1 1/4 and he goes off as the third choice I'd say he would be the one to look at, a longshot to look at also would be Sebastian's Cat who made a early move on the turn, abeit premature. He could run better.

Queen's Plate? Canadian racing? Irrelevant.

I can't make the canadian conversion...

And I thought Hockey was irrevelant? Before anyone gets on me I am joking. I like Hockey.

the dude that calls races at woodbine rules......." and their awwwfffff "

You know, it's funny, if someone had said that "Canada was irrelevant" it would have caused much less of an outroar here than when someone said that Canadian racing is irrelevant.

you guys can say what you want about canadian racing, I have a couple of horses up at Woodbine when you can run a 2 year old 5F and the purse is 60k and when you convert it to US dollars it is still around 60k thats the place I want my horses running.

THe purse structure there is 2nd to none by far the best in North America especially now when the the US $1 and the Canadian $1 are virtually the same.

For those of you who are not that familiar about racing at Woodbine go to there web site and look at there condition book you will see purses are out of sight. why do you think Asmussen worked so hard to get stalls there he has 20 this year.

Round Pen

oh :D as far as the Queens Plate wide open and a very good betting race if you don't like the filly plus I am not that fond of Not Bourbon either.

I think their joking around from a prior thread where someone else said it was irrelevant.

Actually it's a pretty funny thread, I think almost every Canadian horse gets named.

it's not those of you, it's one guy that i remember saying canadian horses were irrelevant and why would anyone want to run in the queens plate..

lol

i had a canadian dude a few weeks ago that i had to deal with for five days at work. he was such a jerk! so, i kept thinking about the south park/canada episodes; had a good laugh or two.


'i thought there was only one road?'

there is, but you went the wrong way....

Thanks for clarifying this, ebcause I haven't been ouon for a few days and was about ready to start a rant! OOOOOOHHHH! I'm sure you're all shaking at that threat lol.

But anyway, just to add something else-
Woodbine has really good beetable fields in a lot of their races. Big fields on turf and poly, big prices, and they do only $2 wagers for exactas, tris, and supers, so the payouts can be pretty big. Y'all should get off your Belmont/Church/Holl-hood 6-horse field preferences for 2 seconds to try it, and you might find you'll like it

I was only joking, there was another thread that a poster said Canadian racing was irrevalent, which basically everyone debunked. I'm glad there are others here that enjoy talking about international racing.

It is gonna be hard to beat the Filly... but even money on a field this size is a hard pill to swallow.... Solitaire may be overbet but can still make a few bucks with the kick... Post usually isn't a problem Sebastian will be in the mix at solid price... But I think Palmers is sitting on one....

In the songspiel... Marchfield/Mission approved exacta box

THE More i look, and trust me i have looked a lot...
the more i think the filly is a lock, she is actually more of a lock on paper then big brown was... and she wont be anywhere near 1-5
i am thinking of keying her in the pick 3,4 and maybe a large win/ and backup place bet

HOCKEY IS THE MAN AROUND THESE PARTS

Send it in.


I think she's a horrible bet at a short price.

who then ? i have looked and looked and looked...
who else is there ?

Not completely sure but Took The Time and Solitaire look like they could get there if the race falls apart.

There's nothing that says you have to bet every race. . . I barely have an opinion but Took the Time looks a little bit interesting. . .
