viva, I'm not steve, but those selections are for today. Very rarely does he post selections from future days without a note letting everyone know. Hope this helps, he's a great handicapper.

Why was Maimonides a vet scratch at Delmar on 7/18....?

Rootdog1 · #6 08-08-2007, 10:00 AM

I believe a fever...nothing serious. They knew they were going to scratch several days in advance.

He put the wrong date on there, those are for today.

#9 08-08-2007, 10:47 AM

I like Full Charge and Pick Off in the sixth!

Payson Dave · #10 08-08-2007, 11:16 AM

I'll take a shot with All Fired Up in the first..

skippy3481 · #11 08-08-2007, 11:45 AM

I agree dave, she'll enjoy the switch back the dirt and the mud shouldn't hurt her. She'll find herself close to the lead and should have a nice shot at 5-1

Scav · #12 08-08-2007, 01:39 PM

6: 1,2,5,7
7: 1,9
8: 5,7,8

Thanks for will pays. Can't seem to get 'em on Blackberry...

Scav · #17 08-08-2007, 02:13 PM

12 is a winner...

docicu3 · #18 08-08-2007, 02:04 PM

Is #2 Stud Muffin being sold short in the feature. His only start on turf April 11 at Belmont prior to a pretty solid improvement the last 4 months he was ridden by a far lesser jock. Now he gets Kent the turf monster after winning 2 of his last 3 with the last being at the spa with Bejarano just 9 days previously.

Galluscio is off to a very nice start and at ML 15-1 maybe Stud Muffin can get it done. Kent seems to be winning these turf races from behind and stole one last week from in front which would probably be the tactic here with no supercloser in this field.

For my money he's a key with the 5# Thunder Estimate and #7 Good Prospect (#1e Solid Strike/Stunt Man underneath for tri plays)

docicu3 · #19 08-08-2007, 02:05 PM

The 5 pays $682 while the 12 pays $136.50 per TVG

Probably on 2 dollar P4
