gotta love the old timer. I'd be interested to see how My Dynomite does off the long layoff.. if he doesn't scratch from this race.

At first glance Touchdown Kid will be very tough.

The race may set up for Papua but he is a shadow of his former self.

I agree, not a fan of Papua to make it number 4.
TD Kid was very good last time.

Storm Boot Gold and Introspect are the two I am looking most to get it done here. Storm Boot Gold may be tough to catch tomorrow. If he does pack it in I think Introspect may be in the cat bird's seat. Rarely does he win but tomorrow may be his day.

Storm Boot Gold?

You must have a different set of pps than I do.

Okay Contessa stinks with these kind of layoffs, but this horse has races good enough to win this race. Hes proven over the Inner and can certainly run this far. I'm not tapping out on him to win but I've seen crazier stabs.

Jan Rushton was on TVG earlier and said Touchdown Kid will race with an aluminum pad. There's no mention of this on Nyra's website.

Does TVG feel ANY moral responsibility allowing her to espouse her knowledgeless opinions on their network?

By the way, he raced with it last time ( and apparently it didn't bother him ), so that's why there was no mention of a change of equipment.

I still think it's morally reprehensible that she is allowed to give opinions over the air.
