Omg the weather has changed drasticley since I last checked. Last night at 1am, it was perfect Friday and Saturday 40% chance of showers. This is crazy.

Maybe QR will scratch out of the Travers and go to the Woodward.

Hold Me Back should really like a off track.

Last weekend (especially for Alabama Day) we had an even worse forecast and it ended up being okay. I wouldnt cancel your plans just yet.

why?

The storm may have nothing to do with it.

Usually, if you are as away from the storm track as Saratoga is likely to be, you get better weather--the outflow form the storm produces fair conditions. But looks like there is some crap coming form the west.

I'd really rather go by the race he already ran in the slop at 1 1/4 miles than his Tomlinson #.

Cakes, how can you possibly go by that? Its a total toss, what the hell was Kent D doing? Premature move of the year.

yeah, from what I've been reading Danny isn't supposed to hit the NorthEast until Saturday Evening into Sunday, Traver's should be safe from him

There is supposed to be some showers early on Saturday morning but cloudy during the afternoon. Cold too, low to mid 60's so bringa sweatshirt.

but yeah the Traver's should be ok.

LOL, Hold Me Back really liked that Off track at the Derby. Tomlinsons aren't all they are cracked up to be.

Anyone who is using the derby to determine if Hold Me back can handle dirt/slop does not have a clue about handicapping. It was one of the biggest premature moves I HAVE EVER SAW.

Anyone that cites a Tomilinson number as his sole reason for moving a horse up in slop (three days before the race is run) has less of a clue about handicapping.

Gander · #18 08-27-2009, 02:01 PM

I am ashamed to admit this but I bet Hold Me Back in the Derby...never again. The horse is too slow for horses like this. Hes got no appeal whatsoever in this race. I think hes the easiest throw out of them all. By far the slowest horse in this race with not one good angle I can see to make him worthy of a stab.

Its not the sole reasson... I said he should like the slop, she asked why and I said why.
