Have a feeling he will be pointing for a visit to the nearest turnout paddock for some R&R. LOL

Well, yeah. Why would you go against AP if you didn't have to?

Where is Donworth pointing?
Dam my guy Japan is in tough.

Pointing for rehab from last week's knee surgery.

I guess I missed that. That sucks, he's talented.

Would be an excellent single race. Think any of these will have more than seven starters? Maybe WV?

Surely don't wish to jinx AP but he will not even be challenged until he faces older. AP runs his race . . . no contest in the Haskell. Bring on the Travers please .. . he wins and crown him whatever you like.

There should be a contest to see who is the second worst poster on this board.

That would be the most competitive race of the season so far. I would expect beyer ratings in the 120 range.

he said 2nd worst poster - not post :tro:

but excellent try!

Since you've nailed down being the worst, I'd be happy to play second fiddle to ya . . . if this type of drivel wings your wong. CHEERS!!!

Tencendur won't be running anytime soon. Fractured sesamoid; out indefinitely.

Catalano adds Top Clearance to Haskell lineup.

prediction time!

With a clean trip, A.P. will win this race by 5-10 lengths if he doesn't try.

11-15 if he does try.

off odds will be 1-9. Hit the all button for the minors.

...and its very disappointing to not see a better field of horses. I couldnt even find Teklon in equibase. What is he? a Shetland pony?

Its still a huge purse! **** happens in races! Take a shot! Run your horses! Shame.
