Who does everyone like? Im having a hard time with this race. The one thing I am certain about is I want to beat Yawana Twist. Im leaning towards the 1,8.... But even that is with no confidence. Does anyone like anything clever in this race?

Terrible betting race....but Moonport is a little interesting to me, at least underneath.

Im asking why. Not to be a smart ass, but I would really like to know. I tryed liking that horse. I keep looking at the Churchill mile race and thinking that might be good enough, but there are also a ton of negatives with that horse.
Also are you against Yawana Twist?

I'm not crazy about any of the favorites. The Biker Boy of 2 years ago would crush these, but he's been off for a year. Mad For Smarty beat 4 horses last time and 4 of them came back to run off the board in 20-30k claimers. If Yawanna Twist has anything left he should win, but it's hard to get too excited about him. I don't see how Ask Joe can win, as lonf as the other speeds don't scratch.

I just thought the fact Moonport isn't in for a tag is a good sign. He has shown the ability to pass horses, has run well at Gulfstream and should get a decent pace to run at. But he's been off a long time and is very fragile. If he's in the 10 to 15-1 range I might bet a few dollars to win and under Yawanna Twist and Biker Boy. I think there are a lot better opportunities tomorrow than this race.

How about Gulfstream Race 6?
I think the 8 can win. The 10 also feels like a favorite you want to try to beat. The 7,8 could have just as much upside at this point.

1 might get a piece at a price.

Kanagaro-Benergy exacta for me in the 8th. I fear the winner of this race will find its way into a Haskin column ... almost certainly will be a horse most undeserving of any ink.

I dont like Kanagaro at all, but my friend does. He also has no real reasson to like him other then its an Indian Charlie.
Why do you like him?

Have you seen his last race?

As Hossy said - Solis put him to sleep in his last race. His race two starts back was decent and the pace was slower than it appears.

I guess there is a slight fear he might be a heartless underneath horse - but he's been gaining in smaller field slow early-fast late type races. In a 12 horse field he should have no excuse at all and be able to run his optimal race.

I'll be watching the board with the Lion Heart debuter and Pletcher/JRV debuter in case they're really live ... unless they are it's probably a two horse race and a sub-par MSW at that.
