Are these selections for 8/8/07 or 8/9/07? Thanks.

SARA 3th Race
 

AMPELIUS: From Bordighera . 1/2 Brother of George Washington. VALUE:)

viva, I'm not steve, but those selections are for today. Very rarely does he post selections from future days without a note letting everyone know. Hope this helps, he's a great handicapper.

Why was Maimonides a vet scratch at Delmar on 7/18....?

I believe a fever...nothing serious. They knew they were going to scratch several days in advance.

That is correct..

He (Maimonides) has been throwing out some awesome works... Looking forward to watching him today.. However my bet will be on Ecton for value.

He put the wrong date on there, those are for today.

I like Full Charge and Pick Off in the sixth!:cool:

Drew the rail and Baffert is known for being a rail scratcher....

I'll take a shot with All Fired Up in the first..

I agree dave, she'll enjoy the switch back the dirt and the mud shouldn't hurt her. She'll find herself close to the lead and should have a nice shot at 5-1

The 2nd was over at 50 yards.....nice animal

Race 4 Pick Three

4: 1,10
5: 12
6: 5,7

$4 per combo

Agreed, very nice.

Look at Baffert though, wearing jeans in the winners circle...

Thats a beautiful animal and a great stride. Look foward to seeing more of him...

Late Pick Four
 

6: 1,2,5,7
7: 1,9
8: 5,7,8
9: 7,10

$48

Lets see if I can do better then these hilarious TVG people and their $50 budget

Punched Steve's early pk4. Anyone have will pays for 5, 12?

Thanks

Is #2 Stud Muffin being sold short in the feature. His only start on turf April 11 at Belmont prior to a pretty solid improvement the last 4 months he was ridden by a far lesser jock. Now he gets Kent the turf monster after winning 2 of his last 3 with the last being at the spa with Bejarano just 9 days previously.

Galluscio is off to a very nice start and at ML 15-1 maybe Stud Muffin can get it done. Kent seems to be winning these turf races from behind and stole one last week from in front which would probably be the tactic here with no supercloser in this field.

For my money he's a key with the 5# Thunder Estimate and #7 Good Prospect (#1e Solid Strike/Stunt Man underneath for tri plays)
