Oh yeah! Don't get me wrong, I like LITF, but I'll be trying to figure out the best way to bet against him... Foggy will no doubt be too short of a price in a field like that. I'll probably try to beat him in a p-4

The number one observation that I initially made when reviewing these pps is that there are a TOn of horses with sharp early speed and the freakin' pace should be ridiculous in here - which could also hurt LITF's chances....very interesting heat..

With Too Much Bling and Dubai Escapade(a pair of chalky singles) running in the two races before the Smile Sprint, a big price is gonna have to come home in that race for a Pick 4 to pay very well.

It would be a real feather in the cap for Weigelia's trainer to win this race. He had such high expectations for Sweet Northern Saint who really pooped out in the big time races. He won the Illinois Derby but nobody really cares about that.

As Eminem said "You only get one shot, this opportunity only comes once, do not blow it."

Huh..? Beyond belief.. This is an all-timer, even from you Tim.

First of all, the "trainer' has a name.. It's Michael Trombetta.. And boy, running 2nd in the Preakness was a real embarassment.. And he had such a perfect trip in the Derby that it's a total failure for Saint and Mike that he didn't win. And he, Joe Balsalmo and Ted Theos were pretty pleased winning the Gr. II Illinois Derby.

Maybe you don't realize that Saint is a gelding and won't be retired in December, but he's got a whole career of races to run yet. And by way of news, look for Ramon Dominguez to return to the saddle in Saint's subsequent starts.

Trombetta has plenty of feathers in his cap INCLUDING taking a cast-off Wegielia and making him a stakes winner and track record holder..

I'd like to see Sweetnorthernsaint get a shot at the BC Classic.

As for the Calder race, Kelly's Landing ran a giant race in the Aristiades. Will be no surprise if he turns the tables on LITF.
