You're right, you're right.

I should have said, "pointing towards a finish ahead of nothing but glorified allowance horses..."

Who goes depends on who runs well today!!

Hesanoldsalt is a lock but could def see MB Sea,Siphon City, Philanthropist go to the Donn if they run well

today race is at 1 1/8 same as the Donn

Premium Tap would look great in the Donn, but def wont beat Invasor(Please be at least 9/5)!!!!

I would also expect Fairbanks and Barcola to go as well off their 1-2 finish in a 9 furlong allowance at Gulfstream last week.

Barcola could be Invasor's lead pony.

He might not be that fast. Still Reddam paid good money to run that horse in the Donn so you gotta imagine a second place finish in an allowance isn't going to dissaude him. Fairbanks at least has some potential, certainly not enough to beat Invasor or Premium Tap though.

No comment on Fairbanks. Barcola isn't worth 75K.....and I'm dead serious. Reddam was extraordinarily foolish to buy him and the 2YO ( new 3YO ) both of whom were off bias aided and fraudulent inner wins.....and I said this before they raced ( the 3YO ran last Sunday ).

I would be willing to bet he paid about ten times what they were worth. VERY foolish and somebody gave him horrendous advice.

Looks like Fairbanks only got a 96 Beyer last out, I thought it would crack triple digits. Agree on Barcola although I think he might be worth $75K, not much more though. A very foolish purchase.

Personally I think spending over $1 million on any horse before it sets foot on a track is beyond foolish. For an on track purchase though Barcola has to rank up there as one of the more baffling.
