Cocoa Belle is no where near grade 1 speed, Indian Blessing should have blow by her on the turn, and then if caught late I would be a lot more optimistic. Look I am saying at 4/5 she is a play against, not that she is a claimer now.

This is not the card it was 5 years ago.

Yeah, Benny the Bull's got a long way to go to get to this group of killers:

2007 - Mach Ride
2006 - Nightmare Affair
2005 - Woke Up Dreamin
2004 - Champali
2001 - Fappie’s Notebook
2000 - Forty One Carats

Indian Blessing also doesn't stack up to these at all:

2008 - Mistical Plan (Corey Nakatani)
2007 - River's Prayer (Shaggy Mane placed.)
2006 - Malibu Mint
2005 - Madcap Escapade
2004 - Ema Bovary
2003 - Gold Mover
2002 - Gold Mover
2001 - Dream Supreme
2000 - Hurricane Bertie

The point is that the two biggest races on this card have never really been that great and having two champions on the card is an accomplishment.

There is nothing wrong with any of these horses, it just doesn't make me want to go and bet, or watch.

IB is right back in her element: beating nothing on, what will surely be, a speed favoring track. He's hoping she makes her figurecentric admirers happy by throwing another big one. Of course, the way she's gotten spanked recently (going back to the BC, of course), it's been nothing but pleasant for me.

Madcap Escapade was awesome.

Ask Joe should be very hard to beat.
