Tizway and Twirling Candy?

I wonder what the chances are that Tizway even makes the race.

We'll see. I hope for Bond and Clifton that they get the chance. He worked 6f (1:14.1) today up here..

Havre De Grace. Then she'll get her own blog.

She will get drowned if she runs in the Classic.

You are such a hater.

Could you expand on your reasoning? I thought she proved herself well against Flat Out in the Woodward.

Not saying she will win but I don't see her drowning either.

Paul

Flat Out isn't much.

I think she'd have problems also keeping in touch with the field. Pace wise.

U forgot Ice Box who according to Zito is a GO:confused:

"It's his favorite track and probably be his last race, maybe, you never know, so why not?" Zito said. "He's trained good, he's fit now, he's got all the races and Corey (Nakatani) basically said he made a mistake (being that far back early on)."

It's hard to knock anyone who takes a shot in races, especially since we all complain about horsemen picking spots throughout the year.

Flat Out could win the Classic.

This just feels like the wrong race for Havre de Grace.

O I agree with u, I got no problem with them taking a chance(they did pay for him already) if there is a spot open. I would rather have fields of 14 with the fave 3/1 then fields of 6 with the fave 6/5

Guess there is no point in running him in the Dirt Mile since Jackson Bend is already going there tho?

If Jackson Bend runs back to his race this weekend, everyone else is running for second I think.

If Sidney's Candy runs well on Saturday is he going to the BC?

They both ran 107's saturday and the one time they met she beat him fair and square, yet he has a chance and she'll get drowned? Ok..

I do respect your "feelings" however. Agree to disagree.

Just hope your not on the Uncle Mo train.

Trust Larry Jones he knows best

I thought Repole was going to make the Breeder's Cup look like the USFL or ABA. I can't wait for more of the Repole sideshow leading up to the Breeder's Cup. Is he gonna have another Meet The Mo get together?

Ya think???

Looks like the one to beat to me but, what do I know...

Of all the horses on that list with no chance it's a little funny that two horses who came up with negative remarks on this thread were Flat Out and Havre de Grace. I guess the rest were self explanatory.

As of now, just pencil Awesome Gem in 2nd. :D
