I agree with Lemoncrush that SD's Wood was a poor effort all the way around, and he got beat that day by two horses that ran like garbage in Louisville. You point to his layoff after the Wood as a good thing, but given his thoroughly unimpressive effort off a layoff in January I'm not at all convinced that's the case. You also suggest that they will take back with the horse, but given that the race appears paceless, I'm not convinced that is a good thing either. Toss in what I see as a negative jock-switch from the Wood and the fact that he looks an awful lot like your basic Tampa-lover to me, and I'll pass.

I think a chalky exacta is the :most likely" here: either 7,8 or 8,7.
A fair argument with regards to Lucky. I would say only that I think SD is better than you think and if you looked at his numbers his best race is not as far off of Lucky as you think and Lucky was on the fence for this race which to me is a negative.

Sorry, I agree with you. None of my bets of any kind will leave either SS or SD out of the top spot. I am betting with my head so L@L I can only wish the best to, just like last out.

LAL/SS/all

LAL/all/SS

simple ticket and you wont get rich.

Why try to make it more than what it is' Super Saver is fit and just beat this group so he will get brave again.

He's not going to beat LAL which has shown in all his races that he is willing and trys to finish and win in every race. It has been a case of being in the wrong place and try to get too cute with his trip in some races and thats why he belongs on top.

Who looks to improve in 2 weeks Nobody. Thats why the all

Sooner or later, LAL is going to have to stop living off his 2-year old reputation and run a "big" race as a 3-year old. So far, he hasn't.

There's no guarantee LAL gets a perfect trip this week either, despite the talents of big race rider Martin Garcia aboard (sarcasm mode turned off). Then I assume we'll have more excuses for this horse.
If he's as good as so many claim he is, then he should win comfortably on Saturday. I don't buy it, and will not being using him on top on any of my tickets.

Why you would take a daylight comment as an affront to any other picks is silly. Everyone has an opinion.
