Paradise Woods has 2 good races where she beat no one with soft trips. The 2 times things didnt go perfectly for her she folded up badly. Would you really have any confidence in her vs FU, Elate and others?

I think she is pointing to the F&M Sprint.

I imagine Mandella is really hoping she goes in the Sprint.

Been working sparingly to say the least since her last start. After a couple of quick turnaround breezes after the Clement Hirsch, she's had 3 weeks then 2 weeks and now another 2 weeks between breezes with nothing since 09/20.

Plus despite what he's doing with his other BC contenders, it seemed odd that Baffert would skip easy pickings in the Zenyatta with her.

I am just saying there are worse plays than her if she is lone speed.

I dont like her for the reasons you stated, but I am always nervous about talented lone speed horses.

She seems like shes always overbet. Off her 106 and loan speed what price are you thinking? I can see her lower then Elate.

well, there is the rub.

She should be in the 15/1 range based on form and her running lines

Big rub.
And on another note, I think Solomini is OK. I think he can turn the tables on Bolt as the distances increase.

Can't see him making that difference up. Bolt is a great two year old and will be surprised if his breeders race isnt huge.

I said as the distances increase. Meaning next year. It would be a tall task in the BC. But IMO Solomini seems like the classic wants distance type.

It was pre the Frontrunner. I totally missed his maiden win. That's very rare for me. I scan Cali daily for Baffert horses. I just missed this guy. I like his last race a lot. You of all people know that wide pressing trip never works.

That fig is worthless for handicapping purposes. that doesnt mean the fig is wrong it just means who cares. Not all 106's are created equally and this particular one is at the very very bottom of the 106 scale
