Rebel Thoughts

Nice write up. I cant get away from Ralis.....as much as I am trying. I am a sucker for horses that have back races and end up in quizzical spots based on current form. As the Boss likes to say..."Don't think they're shipping here on a lark."

Please talk me off....anyone.

I mean that Hopeful was impressive. I seem to remember the chatter about him coming into that race....light on figs....only a maiden win on resume. I believe the only other time O'Neill shipped to Saratoga with a 2 year old was with I'll Have Another. Big sign of confidence that he would proceed similarly with Ralis. Then came the slop (Excuse) Then went wrong in the BC (Excuse)

Why here? Go to jock to boot. Have to think this one runs today. Any improvement from 2 to 3 and it may be go time.

Am I crazy?

I dunno Ed..O'Neill says he decided to ship based on Ralis' last workout. I have a similar feeling in my gut about this horse. They gave him 2 months off and I have a sneaking suspicion that this one has been pointed at the Rebel since December. g'luck today

I have to play him. If he loses I can live with it.....If he wins and I'm not on board that will be tough. I suspect we will be looking at a $40 horse come PT.

Best of luck today man!

Si....Thats why I suspect O'Neill's comment when Bloodhorse quoted him as saying that they made their decision based on the "last workout". Im using him in my P4 along with with the 11...gl
