Exactly Sniper. Its not like Smooth Air couldnt get past a wobbly Gayego, or a hurt War Pass, both of who looked like they were drunken sailors. fumes. If Z Fortune was anything, he would have gotten by. Same too with Court Vision who had a rally going but flattened out like a blueberry pancake.
Big Brown embarrased everybody that day in Florida, including Smooth Air, who did what somebody always has to do, finish 2nd. It was a bunch of mediocre horses who for some reason or another, didnt even fire their typical mediocre efforts.

Me too, and I also love Court Vision as a racehorse. I think he may make a very nice show bet on Derby Day.

he's in my rttr, and i am seriously thinking of using him to get in the tri. not that that is as important as putting real money...
i haven't looked at the site yet, so i don't know how many i can use in that contest....plenty of time tho.

He has yet to run out of the money, correct? Sorry, I dont have a form in front of me. I think hes got a great shot for (at least) 3rd, I really do. The more I watch his replays and the more I look at the way this shape ups, the more I like.

My money will be on be very overwhelmed and run like crap. But I wouldn't be surprised if he freaked and won big.

Pretty much why I'm against him at the expected price.

I guess we dont know how special he is until next weekend. And yes, he is still a very green animal but he wasnt stopping quite like the other two I mentioned. He did something the other two didnt, run fast.
But like you, I will be betting somebody else on Saturday, for sure.
