Chatain seems to have drawn very well and is getting 9 pounds from invasor i hope they run him saturday because i think he has a huge shot to win this race

OK, Hesanoldsalt is entered in this race. Seems like his last workout was good. I like him in this spot.

I like Magna Graduate.

blackthroatedwind · #5 02-01-2007, 01:57 PM

Yet another example of why Handicaps are absurd in this country.

Invasor is giving five pounds to Magna Graduate and six to Strong Contendor.

Let me take a shot at a ML...

I agree.

And it looks like the post draw offset whatever little edge those two might have been given from Invasor on the weights.

Cajungator26 · #8 02-01-2007, 02:01 PM

On second thought, I like A. P. Arrow here too. I need to look at this stuff when I get home. I wish I was going to be down there this weekend.

Confusion: are you saying Invasor should be carrying more weight or less? I'd say if it's truly a "handicap," he should be carrying considerably more than the others entered. I'd like Magna Graduate if he hadn't ran so terribly last time I saw him on Breeders Cup day.

Sightseek · #10 02-01-2007, 02:04 PM

Boggie Boggs & Longley in the same race on this card too, yeah!

The Indomitable DrugS · #11 02-01-2007, 02:05 PM

Invasor should be carrying more than 123lbs and the spread of weights should be greater than they are

Of course he should be carrying more. DrugS is too stupid to understand common sense.

Magna Graduate is the biggest pitch in history. His phony win at Aqueduct was as bias aided as a race can be.

I didnt get this either. I thought 5-6 was pretty fair. Its a prep anyways, and you know they wont be trying very hard. Good bet against in my opinion.

Magna Grad looked pretty darn good last time I saw him run. Granted he didnt beat much that day and there may have been a speed bias, but he looked like a new horse. I mean really good.

tycharles01 · #14 02-01-2007, 02:08 PM

AP Arrow looks like a strong second to Invasor in this one.

Invasor gets the #1 hole will blow this field away

come on down!

blackthroatedwind · #16 02-01-2007, 02:14 PM

AP Arrow? He stinks. He's never run a good race in his life.

Gander · #17 02-01-2007, 02:15 PM

Dont be a hater. Hes a fine piece of horse flesh.

LMAO

I'll take my chances.

Lori,

I can't make it down, unfortunately... I have my son this weekend. Last weekend was his Dad's weekend to have him, so it worked out.

tycharles01 · #19 02-01-2007, 02:16 PM

A few nice races down there on Sat.

OK, but when my 20-1 shot comes in don't say I didn't tell you so....
