I like Great Hunter more than Quay but the short stretch at a mile and a sixteenth is a big concern to me to take any closer. I'll fully cap it later but I'm going to need to see tons of pace before I will back Quay.

The Spinster will be a better gauge of how established horses handle the stuff. Happy Ticket is a pretty consistent horse. If she runs a sub 95 Beyer and doesn't hit the top three here I'll give credence to the idea that there will be good dirt horses that can't handle the poly.


read your words Sniper, do you recognize them?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lemons ran twice on polytrack, winning once and finishing a fast closing third in the stakes falling a length short of winning. I don't see how that is so inconsistent with her form.

I'm looking for a good example of an established dirt horse not running well. Say Happy Ticket or Spun Sugar really tank. Then I'd give some more credence to the theory that good dirt horses won't like poly. You know what though, I betcha they wind up running 1-2 because they are the best horses in the race and the best horses won't have a problem with poly

THESE WERE YOUR WORDS ON 10-05-2006!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now oh redboarding one. Explain to me how you can say that Spun and Happy will run 1-2, then say that you picked Asi Siempre to win, blah blah blah. Happy now? That everyone can see this?
Oh, and I told you lemons hated it, you said she didn't. WHo was right?
You said if Happy failed to run a 95 Beyer and missed the board that you would give credence. Now you don't.
This act is old, and its nauseating. redboarding is absolutely the worst thing anyone can do in the horse game.
