Einstein vs Gio Ponti

Will your picks be posted on twitter?

I'm guessing Einstein is forced into a premature move here on PP, then gets blown by in the stretch to finish 4thish. I just don't think Einstein has the turn of foot to match up with some of these, even with a perfect setup.

you manage to crack a twitter joke for like the one twitter page in the universe that has been completely bananas in a meet that is supposed to be a tough meet.

You somehow missed Kensai until he RAN YOU OVER, and now you would bet Einstein in this race at 4-1...

best case scenario you are a joke alias for DougS (doesn't he RHT ?)


real answer: haven't been well, haven't handicapped in days much less updated twitter, check back next weekend

With Einstein you have a horse you know what you are going to get, not unlike going to a Mcdonalds and ordering a Big Mac, no thrills, no surprises...he usually runs his race and will be competitive at underlaid odds. If others run their A races I wouldn't be too bullish on his chances of winning. Safe pick but you have to hope others don't show up Sat.

I think Einstein is much better than a Big Mac. Those things are gross and make you feel ill after eating one. If you eat enough of that crap, you end up smelling like the food. I get your point, but cant we upgrade Einstein to at the very least a Quiznos sub or a cup of coffee from Starbucks?

This may be the toughest race to handicap...ever.

I didn't compare him to a Big Mac...and actually Big Macs are quite good when eaten in moderation.

The Euros are probably better, and I'll go with the overlooked one, Stotsfold.

From a value standpoint, I love this pick. Of the Euro's he got the best draw and it is clear for everyone to see he wasn't far behind Cima and Conduit at Sandtown earlier this year.

The two are very similar and easily confused for one another.

I think it's the last name thing.

I was not taking a shot at him. I asked him a question. He is the only one taking shots. I guess its because he takes so much **** from everyone else, he must look at me as the only person he can get away with taking a shot at. Kinda sucks for him, so defensive, I really was only asking if he will post his picks.

if that is true, no harm - no foul
very frustrating week/day... Good luck if you play the race.

It is true. I am playing it. I will post my plays here, Saturday.

having handicapped them and watched the videos all 3 foreign shippers are interesting. The weakest one is probably Gloria de Campeao. I will toss him because he "probably ain't", but his form isn't exactly clear. Not a lot of recent grass form. If you look back he was the pacesetter in a tough French race where his running line is probably worse than his effort. He is improving and appeared to run his DWC back in Singapore where there was no Well Armed, and it translated to a pace advantage. Still a respectable effort.
The other two are pretty even. In the Brigadier Gerard Conduit was returning from a layoff and spotting 7lbs, Cima made a last move to win a near dead-heat after Conduit put away the favorite. In the Eclipse Cima/lemaire attempted to follow the big boy(Sea) through the hole but was forced to check while Conduit raced clear on the outside, although there was nothing to suggest that Cima could have beaten Conduit on even terms.
