11 top races..


Maryfield would be a fantastic start....

Wow, how did you find that???

That track is one of the worst i have ever seen. If the turf isn't soft the drainage must be the best in the world.

Great pick on that one. I am able to watch the races on the Breeders Cup website. The track looks awful, but Maryfield sure did close on the outside to get up. Nice little $1 super of over $6,700 on that one.

Real pissed at myself from a touting standpoint because I had the 2 on my thing and changed it to that rat Baroness Thatcher

ALostTexan 10-26-2007 03:35 PM

Ouch, just saw that one.

Nice to start out with a $374 Exacta...

If somebody is at the track please find a gun, give it to trevor denman and let him pull the trigger. Maryfield made a gigantic move and didnt get a call until she was under the wire. Something needs to be done about him.

Very good point. You could her moving nicely down the stretch. He is 0-1 this year in BC races.

Your horse finished 6th if you wagered on the 7.

brockguy 10-26-2007 03:38 PM

kgar311 10-26-2007 03:41 PM

whodey17 10-26-2007 03:41 PM

I like the 6 horse here Gio Ponti if for nothing else but the name.

I know I needn't play the "I wonder if you could do it better" angle -- but are you serious with this?

Missing Street Sense last year is one thing. Wasting time wringing your hands over the fact that he didn't have a super crisp call when nobody could see a GD thing until just outside the final sixteenth seems a bit over the top.

Then again, that is to be expected, I suppose.

Perhaps Maryfield was easy to find if Maryfield was the only horse you were following around the track. Cut the guy a break on trying to announce ten horses in the middle of a Jersey monsoon.

Too rational, I'm certain.

NoChanceToDance 10-26-2007 03:50 PM

Money coming for Achill Island. Top price 9/2 (on betfair) now.

I do understand the monsoon factor but the move in itself was spectacular! you couldnt miss it and hes calling the horses on the rail. Anything outside the 3 path hes blind to.

whodey17 10-26-2007 03:52 PM

Pretty even betting race with the 8 being the fav with 10 MTP at 3-1.

IrishofNDMan 10-26-2007 03:57 PM

Cherokee Triangle!

I like him too, but with this surface this race has become a complete crapshoot I think.
Figuring out how they will run on a course that is a little wet and/or soft is one thing, but this bog makes it really tough to predict how 2yos will perform.
