Spa Predictions 2009
 

There was an '07 Thread that had some good stuff.


Here are mine for '09:

$2+ ROI for these Trainer / Jockey Combos

Mike Hushion / John Velazquez

George Weaver / Javier Castellano

Eddie Kenneally will win every baby race he's entered in and Andy Serling will become the number one twitterer on the web.

:D

I will be sad to not be there!

A maiden by a first year stallion (probably by Rock Hard Ten because so many have a weird fascination with him) will be the hype horse of the meet.

The Whitney will either be won by Commentator - or a very slow horse.

funny hockey , no one wins all their starts you dope

he will win some

I won't be shocked if he wins a few. . . trainers change gears all the time - i.e. Zito w/ his babies a few years ago. I just need evidence of such a change first.

why , once you get the evidence isn't it too late?

if he puts over a couple in the 1st week of the meet , then when do you jump on the bandwagon week 2 , week 3 ?

Then what do you do? Blindly guess at who will all of a sudden change their training style? That sounds profitable.

steve created this board for horse players to share opinions , talk about the game , help each other out

i got word from 1st hand sourse that he likes what he has this year, now what does that mean , it may mean nothing he can be wrong and his stock may stink , he may be wrong because he maybe going against other monsters , but maybe this year is his year and he knows he is loaded



but what do stats from last year or the last 5 yrs have to do with his 2 yr olds in the barn this year ..... they are not part of his 3 for whatever the last 5 yrs....maybe just maybe they are all studs and he has them ready , problem is if the 1st couple run well and win and you pass because of stats from other years by the time you and the rest of the public jump in the price is no longer good later on in the meet

138 horses scratched for off the turf. Six bourbons while I'm there

When you going?

I expect to gain 12 lbs, and increase my blood pressure by 20 points:mad:

Moscow will march to France
They'll do the Can-Can Dance
Don't worry, it'll work out
Maxim's will throw them out

Only six? or is that just during the early P4? ;)

saratoga predictions
 

Pmac, I predict that you will have success with your predictions. I further predict that there will be big irish guy at Clancys with a pocketful of money from track winnings, slits for eyes, singing Johnny River songs at an ungodly hour, sucking down pint size drinks.

Yeah that sh*t's about 1/9.

Aside from the pockets full of money part....

I predict there will be 36 days of racing. Unless of course, there are not.

Eddie Keneally won't win a single 2YO race at Saratoga.

Durkin will be awesome

I predict that Scott and I will get heavily intoxicated and Scott will hit on 60 year old women that he thinks are really 30.

byk will give out the winner of the last race at the spa..dell carol will train ateam will show up 3 times..andy will eat a whole beef sandwitch. gary siacca will not be bitten on the head after his sole win. t pleach will mess up 8 2 year olds.shrek and donky will continue the coffee club on dark tues.chicago guys will show up and drink beer. the rain will hold off for most of the meet.biencone /julian l will get back together.the hopefull will be the race of the meet.

I guess it all depends on who makes the statements Gales. Because it was you, its mocked. If it was someone else, it would probably be argued that maybe Eddie boy is sitting on some live horses. Thanks for the info. I hope it works out for you.

This one is confusing.

Do you mean a beef sandwich?

Do you mean a witch that lives in the sand? If so, I don't see him going down on something so crusty sounding.

I don't even want to guess what a whole beef version of a sand witch is, cause if it means what I think it means, I don't think he's into warlocks for that sort of activity either.

sorry im tired and challenged..unlike you..

I would add to that humorless maybe as well.

I'm probably far more tired and challenged than you know, so I don't think that's an excuse for not having a sense of humor about a harmless typo and a harmless joke about it.

Yeah going after hooves for one of his rare spelling errors was comedy gold.

Yeah, I know.

It was more about the imagery of Andy doing a sand witch. Less about making fun of Hooves.

Not that I was making fun of Andy. I want to make sure everyone is clear on that. I'd hate for anyone to get all twitted up about something like this.

Sunshine everyday, unconscious handicapping, great racing, drinks in one hand and the DRF in the other(and a Bar B Q sandwitch or cutie in the other? politically correct). Ah the Spppppppppppppaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Predictions
Mike Hernandez will put over a 2 year old
Flying Zee will have a couple booms, probably trained by Serpe and on the turf
Weaver/Velasquez hot trainer/jockey combo
Rajiv Maragh will win the riding title
Rachel will be the talk of the town
Andy will give out six straight pk4"s
BYK will hit everyday making everyone on Derby Trail a millionaire
I will post a $72 pick 4 that pays $17

Tell me I don't have a third eye..........

There will be a bunch of dorks up there with laptops, clipboards and fanny packs.

And many men wearing penny loafers with no socks circa 1984.

It's not nice to make fun of Philski. :D

Are you taking any action on that one?

It will be a "wild" first weekend and a very "dead" last week

Way to cover the whole field.

Seth Benzel will pop a few nice prices at the meet. There's my 'on a limb'.

Cagey Girl will wire an unsuspecting field at 22-1....again, maybe twice, and I won't be on board, either time.

I laughed.

Not much of a sample size, but I'll be keeping an eye on Jimmy Jerkens' turf runners at the spa.

His numbers during the current meet at Belmont are:

3/14 - 21% Win - 57% ITM - $4.31 ROI

Maybe he's changing tactics a bit. We'll see.
