I wont be playing him to win, thats for sure. His odds will be in the 9/5 range and that doesnt cut it for me.

Yeah, I mis-read your original post. Sorry about that. I can't play him at 9/5 either. Now lets say he floats up to 3-1 or higher then I may have to wager on him.

I have some strong opinions on this race which I will share as the races draw closer. I wont be playing Proud Tower Too on top here. Though I think he runs good I think somebody else will have his number.

Hes a very hard horse for me to ever play after I did not catch him at 20/1 in the 2005 Malibu.

I told you

That is why you should even have a bigger problem accepting 2/1 ish type odds on him Kevin. I dont think you caught him that day either, but I could be wrong. I know you liked him and that was the day everybody knew there was a terrific bias for early speed.

You working on Saturday? I hope not.

I assume OTB for you. Over/Under on the amount of cell phone calls between yourself and I? I'll set it at 14.

I'll call him and tie up the phone line for a few hours... we'll be at GP

Lucky you. What a great day of racing. Easily in my top 5 all year. I am a sucker for themed formats in horse racing and love the back and forth between tracks.

I did catch him that day. That was when there was a small group of us playing pick 4 tickets and everyone thought I was nuts for wanting to use him, we ended up not using him...and the rest is history.


I am working Saturday...8:00 am -5:00 pm...no OTB for me

[Gander]

Well that sucks. Let me know if you want anything and I'll gladly play it for you.

I think Lava Man should've went to Florida
just t prove that he is better than someone outside of Cali

also so I could bet against and make big bucks
