Havre De Grace. Then she'll get her own blog.

She will get drowned if she runs in the Classic.

Could you expand on your reasoning? I thought she proved herself well against Flat Out in the Woodward.

Not saying she will win but I don't see her drowning either.

Flat Out isn't much.

I think she'd have problems also keeping in touch with the field. Pace wise.

Flat Out could win the Classic.

This just feels like the wrong race for Havre de Grace.

They both ran 107's saturday and the one time they met she beat him fair and square, yet he has a chance and she'll get drowned? Ok..

I do respect your "feelings" however. Agree to disagree.

Just hope your not on the Uncle Mo train.

I thought Repole was going to make the Breeder's Cup look like the USFL or ABA. I can't wait for more of the Repole sideshow leading up to the Breeder's Cup. Is he gonna have another Meet The Mo get together?

Not that it matters, but she actually ran a 105 on Saturday.

As for your " fair and square " contention....I would say she got a trip dynamic far more favorable in her victory over Flat Out, relative to him, than she will get in the Classic, and the distance will very likely make a difference.

Everybody seems to have written off Uncle Mo in the Classic, something I can't do a month before the race, given that he is the most talented horse entering the race, while I think she is FAR less likely to win. But, hey, I've been wrong before.

Of all the horses on that list with no chance it's a little funny that two horses who came up with negative remarks on this thread were Flat Out and Havre de Grace. I guess the rest were self explanatory.

Right now, I would think that only three horses are plausible win candidates in the Classic. Once you get beyond Uncle Mo, Flat Out, and Harve De Grace, anyone else would be a reach.

I am again curious why this seems like the wrong race for Harve? She seems like she could be placed anywhere and can finish as well.

The race is a month away so lots can happen but if she were mine, I would be running in the classic.

Tizway has a huge shot if he's ready. . . The problem I have with this race is that I think Uncle Mo and Tizway are way the most talented horses in the field, but both have giant question marks. Can't really lean on them, but I'm hesitant to play against them too much.

Hopefully she goes in the Classic for the sheer fact that it makes better betting opportunities in both the Distaff and the Classic.
