Handicap Division 2011
 

Who is the leader?

For my money, right now it has to be Morning Line.
I still cant beleive how well he ran.

Friend or Foe.

Quality Road, if he ever finishes the Classic........

This was supposed to be serious. Kinda sick of the Zenyatta Blame talk. I like talking horses.

I dont trust the trainer, but would not blame anyone for being high on him.
Who else is there?

Noble's Promise is coming back next year, correct?

Retired.

Wonder why he... oh well, not important.

I think sprinting, but who knows.

If they try to stretch him out again, I'm gonna lose it. He's a crack sprinter/miler in the making.

I for one can't wait to see Super Saver next year, he should be that much better.

He is retired.

... as is QR.

Only saying it cause he was mentioned...

What about Looking at Lucky, is he retired yet?

By the time I post no he might be. :D

I guess he would have to be right on top. Where would Bob run him? West? Dubai? Ship east?
I know GOAT1a has big plans for Dublin.

What about Tizway? He could win the Met Mile with a better ride.

He will never run on that plastic crap at santa anita...looks like the Donn.

Fly Down

Its going to be nice to bet against him in his next race, just hope there is a viable alternative.

With his style, there will always be a good alternative... Especially at Gulfstream.

I laughed. It really is sad.

Agree.

Hey does anyone know about Musket Man?

Fly Down is supposedly going to Saudi Arabia because his new owner is from there.

Apart could turn out to be OK, his Ack Ack win was considerably better than his Super Derby and he's obviously a late bloomer.

First Dude will still be around I'm sure, hopefully after he wins a N1X.

On another note, Mott said Unrivaled Belle will be back next year.

I loved Aparts race. To me, it seemed like he was moved really early, and wide. Made a few different moves and won off. Should be OK next year.

I haven't heard that. I assumed he was, but Zito spoke with the owner and it appears he's being pointed for the Dubai World Cup. I hope that means he'll stick around all year.

I like First Dude and think he is a very game horse, but more suited to run at a mile.

Looking at Lucky might not lose next year and not have to do much running to do it......he can be last years Zenyatta.

I was assuming he's going to be retired after Mike Pegram's soliloquy about "economics" after the Hoosier Derby. If he's back, yes, he's going to be a major player. Until Uncle Mo starts facing elders of course.

Zenyatta.

Blind Luck.

Paul

They have run her a lot and all, but she is yet to face males......

Looks like Zito is holding a strong hand w/ Fly Down and Morning Line.
As long as it doesn't involve a photo finish.
L@L should be tough if he stays sound.....because he can handle any surface and track.

Apart, Admiral Alex and Trickmeister

If u listen to IEAH Trickmeister is the Classic Champ already

Not sure if anyone caught it but Concord Point has been retired and is in stud

Trickmeister does not exsist till further notice......
How many spots was he going to run in, then nothing. The horse he blew away at Toga came back to be blown away at short odds.

Apart and Afleet Express (assuming he comes back OK.)

Rule might make some noise next year.

Yup. . . He does have the Jerkens curse, though.

Yeah being among the top 5 best trainers on the grounds is always a curse....:zz:

I'm a big Jerkens fan, but his horses rarely stay healthy.
