9/30-10/1 (SA): Super Sat. (5 G1's), Unzip Me; John Henry (G2)
 

I was looking forward to Dia De Pago stretching out here. Any word?

In general these are ok fields and races, but man that zenyatta stakes is bad, grade 3 at best

Other then the Juvenile races i dont see any real BC contenders.

Sunday, 10/1
 

SUNDAY OVERNIGHT

most of the BC contenders are on the sidelines not running. Its great aint it

Not Dortmund?

Wrong trainer.

No offense to the trainers that trained Mubtaahij but they are not baffert, have to take a shot he runs his best race in this spot. Its not much a field beyond Cupid who was only ok. Against Breakin Lucky in this spot, there is no gun runner but this is a better group then he has faced and will be overbet off that last.

Dortmund may get a great setup on the lead, I could bet him at the right price (6/1 or so seems fair).

6-1. He is going to be like 3-1.

oh that would be good cause I would rather bet the first time baffert horse

He feels like the most likely winner to me. His Saratoga race from last summer certainly wins this.

meh, dortmund scratched so likely no value in race. god its hard to bet this game

all those races on opening weekend and Gary Stevens is not riding in one of them

He has a mount in the Chandelier, would have ridden Dortmund had he not come out and is on the first AE into the Unzip Me. And has 5 other non-stake calls Fri-Sun.

He has not ridden that much in general this year. I think part of that has been Prat's emergence with some of the barns that used Stevens and also Kent's strong season.

Really as hired guns go, which is what he is, there just isnt that much stock to go around.

thanks guys Im a diehard fan and realize this is probably the last few months of him riding.

I even noticed that Thomas Proctor is not using him, along with Mandella

Proctor has been using Van Dyke who also has really become a favorite of Glen Hill Farm, basically giving them first call and traveling to ride their horses.

I dont think Stevens is doing anything differenct. I dont think he works horses so that has to hurt as well, very few guys can not work horses and still get premium mounts.
