Isn't that the truth, she really looks sharp. I think she'll run a big one.

Good luck!

You too.

This is silly, Mores Wells looks alot better than a 19/1 shot in here. Certainly better than some that are at lower odds. Worth a bet...

Thanks, Alan, for f@^&%#!* me out of $3500. Brilliant ride.

That was a disgraceful decision on his part. Hope he goes to the Breeders Cup

Wasn't worth nearly as much to me, and I hate to complain about jockeys' rides, but that was dreadful. He was so much the best.

I'm surprised more people didn't just box the Euros, although I agree that Al Khali was given a poor ride.

[hockey2315]

His running line was 6-8-8-9-4 - dead last at the top of the stretch - and he came home in :23.54. I'm sure his running line looks excellent on the Fat Charts. He has more speed than that - there was no reason to be that far back. He was pulling and full of horse on the backstretch, but Alan had to strangle him. I'm all for saving ground, but this horse is so big that it's just not going to work with him. He's always going to find traffic if you don't give him a lot of room to run. I think the bonehead ride Kent gave him two-back has them over-adjusting with him. The same overly patient, jam him in between horses until the last possible second ride almost got him beat last time too.

I've been experiencing a ridiculous cold streak the last few weeks (bad opinions, not bad luck), and to be right for once and not get rewarded (had the other two exactas) is very frustrating. Played 2,10 w/ ALL w/ 5 in Pk3s and then 2,10 w/ 5 horses (winner was the longest price of them) w/ 5. Just gross. I guess that's what I get for singling in a race like that, but I was against all the Euros and thought this would be Al Khali's breakout race.

Obviously I'm going to bet him big time in the BC, but I'm kind of wondering if he's the type of horse that will always end up in trouble. Also not sure a course like Churchill favors him like Woodbine or Belmont does.

Al Khali a horse you and others have insulted me for chasing and now he is going to beat the ARC winner?

Give Al Khali Mores Wells' trip and he wins for fun. Mores Wells got an incredible ride.
