I'm not sold on Time Squared at all and he may be one of those money burner types. What excuse did he have in his second start? Didn't the post-DQ winner take a tour of the grandstand in midstretch?

I've only glanced through the race but he seems about 7th or 8th best with a cursory look.

Honestly, unless he freaks on polytrack, he has very little chance.

I was very tired of hearing all the BS about Funny Cide, and people claiming he was much better than he was, but now I find myself rooting for him. The poor horse is always in seemingly over his head, and if you look at his pps for last year he performed consistantly well throughout the year. I just wish he was spotted better.

I've looked at the Funny Cide race and it looks like a pretty weak field. The average beyer seems to be in the high 90s range. FC has been running 93s and 94s, so he definitely belongs here. I predict FC might run 3rd. He won't be far off if he loses.

Student Council is in great form just now and has proven he likes the Poly at Kee. He'd be my top pick. . Gin and Sin is another who has shown affinity for Poly, ran decently in his comeback on turf; Irene's Mon is 2/2 on Poly, but is coming off a similar layoff. Funny Cide ranks behing all of these for me; he probably needs one off the layoff, against the horses in this one (competitive in G2 and G3 races).

Shocked?

Don't agree with you there at all. There are other contenders in that race and I am not sold on Time Squared.

Yeah, Spankey Come Home pulled a "Broad Brush" on that race. A VERY oddly run race. To be honest, I just don't see what the hooplah is around this horse. Sure, he should win, but this is the exact type of horse that I play against regularly: an overbet closer. Haven't seen the odds yet, but I can see a few horses in here that will offer pick 3 value as mostly all i play are pick 3's and 4's.

the 4,7,8, and 12 come to mind

I was going to list that same foursome. Plus even the rail may not be hopeless.

Perhaps polytrack is kinder to laggards like this horse but I agree with your general philosphy on this kind of horse.

Thanks. I'll watch the maiden race again later.
