I honestly would not take 5-1 on any horse in the race. Too many good ones.

There are a few I would love to have at 10-1, though. If Tin Man is close to that, I'll be on him. Same thing with Ace.

Oh pleeeeeeease let me get 5-1 on English Channel.

Kev- I am thinking you may at best get 7/2 on English Channel. Which isnt a bad price if you believe in him. Nothing wrong with a horse that pays $9 and change. You all in on your $100 usual bet? Nothing this horse does would lead me to say not to make that bet, so good luck.

I may or may not get involved here. Depends on what the Saratoga card looks like and what prices I can get. I'm looking to make a solid $200 win bet on something in the 3/1 - 5/1 range (if not higher).

WIth EC leaving town, the Sword Dancer looks like a bust betting wise, unless you can find a horse to beat Relaxed Gesture. Hes tough to take at a very short price, yet tough to bet against for the sake of him being a favorite.

I think he will go off as the favorite Kev, and that is a tragedy. You should get really good odds, but I don't see it happening.

Yeah Pat, I would be pleasantly surprised if I get anything higher than 3-1.

You will get EVERY part of 3/1 and possibly 4/1 on English Channel. All people are talking about around here are the euros

I think Kev was only reacting to my statement that I wouldn't bet any horse in the race at 5-1. He doesn't really think he's going to see 5-1 on EC.

No way in he ll I see 5-1 on EC. If I do get that, I will make my biggest wager ever on a horse.
