The rail kind of forces the jockey's hand but I'm not sure he necessarily needs the lead. He's worth inclusion in the Pick 4.

All I know about the rest of the field is that if Biker Boy wins, I lose. I think he's a complete mediocrity who put up one smokescreen allowance win after another. I want no part of him.

I might try to be clever with Dream Maestro on the cutback as well and I'll use the juice trio of Ness-Wolfson squared. So, I guess I'm going deep since I haven't even mentioned This Ones For Phil.

I have been beaten down. I am actually glad to see a race I think Naughty New Yorker can win.

Did you simply look at the entries? Cause I'd love to know how you came to that conclusion using any type of past performance information.

As he said elsewhere - "he doesn't use PPs" . . . I'm not surprised

Neither does my mother. Maybe I can get her to start posting her picks.

Did he win? Finish? It doesn't sound good for the poor guy.

[chucklestheclown]

HA! 2nd to a 1-4 horse! Glad you guys cashed on my coattails! But he should retire now, even your mother probably knows he's no LavaMan.

Biker Boy and Martys 2 are clearly the ones to beat, IMO.

Why is Biker Boy better than This Ones for Phil? And why is You and I Forever a likely winner of this race, because he beat up a horrible field going 7/8ths on this track in July? He is beginning to look washed up, which is usually when Marty's horses rebound but I just don't see this as a race where you can say one particular horse "is clearly the one to beat."

You and I and This Ones for Phil are both scratches.
