Guess the Wood Memorial's closing odds
 

I will give it a shot.

Eskendereya......2-1
Awesome Act....7-2
S.yard Dreams...5-1
Jackson Bend.....8-1
Turf Melody........25-1
Carnivore............80-1
Nickey Boy........300-1

Schoolyard Dreams is going to Wood and not Illinois Derby?

This is funny. The big horse will be under 6-5

I think SYD could take some of Esky's beating.

Wow, thanks....Not sure what I think about the reasoning since Ramon probably wouldn't ride the horse in the Derby anyways since he can ride Super Saver but that is an interesting addition.

Eskendereya......2/5
Awesome Act....9/2
S.yard Dreams...8/1
Jackson Bend.....12/1
Turf Melody........40/1
Carnivore............65/1
Nickey Boy........SCR

That's closer then Vols

You would think they would go for Musket Man route.
That seemed to work out ok.

Really? 2-5?

I will be betting against at that price...I don't think T. Pletcher will be looking to empty the tank here.

He'll be 4:5ish.

Speaking of, be interested to see how he fairs in the Carter.

Mr. Byk has Tiz the One listed as going to the Wood.
The DRF article never mentioned him.

That race is gonna be a great betting race if most of the horses that are nom'd end up running.

Munnings
Warrior's Reward
Musket Man
Bribon
Wall Street Wonder
Elusive Warning..................just to name a few.

I think Understatement and Cool Coal Man will go in the Excelsior.

Bribon is not supposed to run in the Carter though I think Digger is running ( not that it matters ).

Understatement is going to the CT Classic. I don't know where Cool Coal Man is running though I haven't seen him mentioned. I could ask Nick tomorrow.

Isn't he going to Arkansas?

Warriors Reward

As for the Excelsior, I know Hushion is running Goldsville. I spoke with him the other day, and he's really excited about Iron Man John ( as he should be ), but he's missing this race with a minor problem. I think he said he was hoping for the Westchester with him.

Yeah I remember reading that Pletcher was sending him to CT.

Asked Haskin last night about Tiz the One as I hadn't heard anything. He didn't know either. Will try to find out today.

wood
 

so isnt awesome act a huge underlay here
with once over and that tactical speed sure looks like the bet to me
this to me is once of the best woods in years
hopefully the rain stops and we have the 80 degrees promised
