Yeah, I love Belgravia in the Prevue...definately think that horse will do very well, if not win . I'm really excited about watching him run!

Didn't get to Hwood yet. I follow it and watch it but don't bet it(only grass) so its the last track I look at.
I'm drueling over the Aqueduct pik-4(first one tomorrow).

Belgravia is obviously a class horse, but look carefully at a horse called Notional.

Hooves, I hate to rain on your parade, but you might want to take a second look at #2 Dilemma - He's improved with every race and it seems he has multiple gears to keep this field at bay. I've watched all of his races and he is very talented and versatile. The only reason I mention him is because I'm thinking about using him as a single in the PK4.

Good Racing Luck

Yeah, Dilemma really looks good as well AND he is improving with every race AND he has a foundation unlike both Notional and Belgravia. There are a lot of +s with that guy.

But I still like Notional.

My top pick.

Did you watch Pawnee's maiden score? The Beyer didn't come back all that high, but he made one heck of a move when the pace wasn't all that hot. 20-1, could be interesting.

Sightseek, I just watched the replay again to refresh my memory and although he was visually impressive, the truth is that the others went quick up front and folded like a cheap suit. It took him 7 starts to break his maiden at 26-1. I would be surprised if he was able to duplicate that effort. Maybe underneath to pick up the pieces.

Pawnee intrigues me, I think he'll hit the tri. The seven starts give him a good foundation and he already has a win at the distance which no one else in the field can claim. Big discrepancy between the Beyer and equibase figure last race as well, he got a 74 Beyer and a 94 equibase which are usually only about ten points higher than the Beyers. I often find value by comparing them. If you find the cases that Beyer questionably split a variant you can get great value since so many are betting the Beyers. If you treat it like an 84 Beyer and factor in ground loss last out he could factor in at a price.

That was a terrific battle in deep stretch.Shame that Notional tanked.Oneil is winning almost everything,but his horses are choking in the biggest races(the Classic,and this race..he is turning out to be Pletcher #2.)When a horse gets beat by an inch,I think that is the time to take into account that Belgravia drifted out into Dilemma enough to cost him some ground.Belgravia will be the one that can 2 turn next year.
