Without looking at the PP's, I'm guessing there's a good chance Papi Chullo sucks up for 3rd or 4th. Doesn't he always??

I've watched exactly zero races from Gulfstream this year, so I'm about the last person to ask on this, but I don't recall any horse winning from the 11 or 12 hole last year at 9F...?

2lbs in TG terms is about a half length, could mean the difference from that crazy post

Terrible post for SNS however its not like this is the Donn with Invasor and others in it. Also gets a 2lb break

Not alot of speed in this race and probably the best formwise- Dry Martini down on the inside where as we all know could have problems if they box him in

Probably wont bet SNS at 9/5 but if he goes up!!! (Hope people write him off because of the post) Def Bet if he is up at 3/1

Texcess has a good chance if he breaks good and a horse I think could hit the board(3 or 4) at a nice price --Rehoboth

Texcess...love that he shows up in these types of races every once in a while. I'm pretty sure that's why he's still kept in training.

Ramon is not a panicker and has a decent ability to get inside from outside posts. That being said, that post is problematic, though gunning is probably the right move. He will have to be a few lengths the best, at least, to overcome that post, which is highly debatable. It'll be easier when the pps are out however.

Default Quick speed analysis from the bootleg PP's on Gulfstream's site

he might be able to be 3w going into the turn, Get Funky and Bob's Proud Moment will show speed, but both of those have been turf speed, which we all know is different then dirt speed. Could be even 2w because Bob Proud hasn't shown serious gate speed until his last.

I think SNS will be fine. I happen to think this field is OK. It is an interesting group to say the least. Texcess is an ok horse. Silver Wagon is a mystery as to the distance (I dont think he can get it) and Dry Martini is in good form. But the horse I sort of like is the 2 horse. It should be a good day of racing.

Default If anything......

this might have 'helped' my odds. he is the 9/5 ML and people will try and beat him that far out, it will happen sooner or later, and sooner is better then later in this spot....
