I'm going with Teammate.

Adieu will be tough. But I like Miraculous Miss.

Hello Liberty beat me at the wire a few weeks back going 7F. I like her at 1M.

Yes, she is supposed to.

I'm trying to form my Pick-4 and having a hard time trimming my selections for this leg. Right now, I have: Adieu, Bushfire, Wonder Lady Anne L, Teammate, Hello Liberty, and Ermine.

Anyone got a good reason why I can toss any of these?... or why I'm dumb to leave one of the others off??

I don't really like bushfire. . . seems inconsistent. . . don't like last workout. . . and velasquez chose to ride teammate over bushfire

personally i like wonder lady- the PPs say she was "empty late" in the oaks but i strongly disagree. . . it looked to me like she had plenty more but got cut off in the stretch. . . plus i love bejarano

Ya i have narrowed down every race to about 6, LOL !!!

LOL!!! Like I said I can see 6 horses winning this race as well. Its obvious who i am rooting for, but emotion has no place in handicapping a race. Its a very hard race to narrow down in any sense. Horses are coming out of sprints, routes, etc. Its a spread race to me.

this card is tougher than Bc day 05

Teammate appears to have worked 3F this morning. Not a fan of horses working day before a race.

Well thats really what you want though isn't it? I mean Travers day last year we got treated to LITF, Leroi, and a few others at very short prices. At least if you can come up with a good opinion tomorrow you are going to get paid.

Exceller,
when Jerkens or Shug use that move, it is HIGHLY effective!!!! I always liked that move with those two guys.

i can't spread 6 horses on this race, can we narrow it down to 4

you like the teammate work by the trainer,

so we need three more for this.

adieu doesn't seem to care for the belmont surface, tg =14,8,10

i gotta go with

3)bushfire
5)wnderlady
7) teammate

and either the 8 or the 9, leaning toward the 9 ermine , as the 8 hello liberrty had never been farther than 7f.

so thats my ticket,

3,5,7,9

unless you can say something that i may want to know.

I like the Oaks horses quite frankly. That race was better than it looked. The pace was hot and several had to make moves that were wide or in tigtht quarters. If you put a gun to my head I would use WLA, Bushfire, Ermine, and also Teammate.

No knock on Oracles horse but you have to use Hello Liberty before WL. You guys are much better gamblers than me but HL ran a nice number over the same racetrack. I like Ermine, Hello Liberty and Adieu. In that order.

I was ready to toss Adieu until I looked over her competition in her last race... Joint Effort(1st in that race against Adieu) came back to win again, and Smart N Pretty(3rd behind Adieu in that race) "won" the Black Eyed Susan only to be DQ'd.

Exceller Liberty tripped out last time and barely got by a horse who isnt much, Win McCool. Shes never been farther than 7F and looks like a big bounce candidate as well. Lemem ask you something ok? How do you think that horse would have fared in the Oaks? Think she would have been in the top 6? I think not. The Oaks had a hard pace because it was contested by at least 3 horses at all points in the race, and from the turn on by about 6 across the track. When horses are all out running with and between a lot of other good horses, its gonna be a tough race. I'm thinking Hello Liberty and WIn McCool wouldnt ahve hung around to even teh turn in the Oaks.
