You're not chalking with Bolt D'oro are you?
I guess Montauk will be 2-5 in the Remsen.

Given Todd's impressive army for this year's BC, I'm a little surprised you are dying to hitch your wagon to another one of his overhyped impressive debut winners. How have those panned out over time?

No love for Mask? His professionalism, while earning a similar Beyer fig, doesn't do as much for you as Montauk's flash?

Man 5 minutes ago talking with Byk now posting on here you are all over the place. Interested to see how you like Melo playing with your boy Westbrook this year. Seems to be a good fit and they got hosed last game with that illegal screen at end. cheers

I said before Montauk ran that he was likely Pletchers best baby. So yeah, I'm hitched 2 him. I think he was very strong and the 2 Chads that ran behind him could be OK. I guess we will find out later down the road.

Wide as wide could be on the favorite. Still not sure he wins but still, would have been nice if he could've saved some kind of ground.

Well, given Todd had nothing at that point ( please don't tell me anyone smart thought Hazit was anything ), and the word was all over the place for weeks about Montauk, that was hardly doctoral work on your part. As for the two from Chad behind them, while any horse "could" be OK, I suppose, I won't be holding my breath for their Graded Stakes wins.

Any chance you claimed Zulu the other day?
