Default Steele Road

Race 3 at Aqueduct Thanksgiving day.
Darley Stable, Street Cry-Ashado.
Huge pedigree and these connections have been winning first out latley. Really excited to see this 1 run, hoping he is the real deal.

From an actual wagering prospective this horse might be an OK bet if its not crushed at the window because of the pedigree. You have 3 horses who all have big speed, and 2 of them have obvious stamina issues. 2 of the 3 at least have to hook up. The Chad Brown horse has speed but he can sit a little. My problem with him is he will be short because its Chad Brown and Klervich and that field he comes out of was garbage. The pace has to be hot. I would use Steele Road and maybe the Contessa War Front. The horse can likely handle dirt and I love the cutback in a race filled with pace.

Check out race 2 if you have a chance. Pletcher/Repole have a baby entry that combined cost 460k. They are both in for a 16k tag.

The ML turned me off. If you read above I said if he is not crushed. I thought with the obvious other 3 he might be around 5-1.

Just a joke man, we all pick horses that run horribly sometimes.

I know, its cool. The horse really did not run at all. Ashado off to a bad start at the shed. Her only other foal is a Storm Cat unraced horse standing for 2k in Indiana. I heard that yesterday.....

Let this be remembered so that when they roll out the chosen one (ie Zenyatta's first foal) in a few years, have plenty of money socked away to go against.

If Moss doesn't sell a colt that is a Bernardini he is nuts. Ole Shiek Mo won't be able to let anyone out bid him for that animal. Plus why would anyone think Zenyatta would be a big time producer she is 17 hands had a whack gait and couldnt beat Blame with a perfect set up. she sux

A better question is does anyone care? I mean, we all like attention to a degree, but this takes it to a whole new level.

He brought it to my attention, he came to me with it and a few guys have shown intrest since. So yes I do, unless hes a total rat. I think its a good idea, it will be fun and I think it can be productive if Doug can be serious.

It's sort of amusing, the idea of DrugS willingly giving up the spotlight to RTH, of all people.

He'd ruin his image/reputation by doing so publicly. Which likely means he's just messing with RTH's head.

RTH as you like to call me is in the running for a serious handicapping job. But its cool, comments like this push me to be a better capper.
