Bold Predictions

[Betsy]

Bernardini will dominate the 3 year old division and very possibly beat older horses.

Melhor Ainda will come back and win multiple grade 1s.

Wow...possible I guess..I like the colt, but he may prove to be a better 4yo...Can he win the Ohio Derby?...sure, with a favorbale trip and some things going in his favor, but a Grade I?...Probably needs to really begin to improve to do that....Just not many Gr. I's left this year for him to realistically blossom and win one....BUt, I love the prediction!!!

this horse is going to have to get over his serious case of seconditis. Second in his last three starts! He cannot lose allowance races if he is to fufill my prediction.

I thought of you when I heard he won today (missed all the races... ugh!).

Was SO happy!!!

Joel Cunningham will trash Funny Cide, Oracle will hate him for it, and then board members will be forced to pick sides. The culmintaion will be a Hell in a Cell steel cage match between Joel and Oracle on Breeders Cup Day @ CD. It will be held between the Turf and Classic.

Special guest referee: My Miss Storm Cat
Guest Ring Announcers: Steve Byk and JJ Gracie
Timekeeper: Barclay Tagg

That is classic baby!!!..Absolutely beautiful...love it....Who's laying odds? Am I the 3-5 choice yet?

Actually, if Barclay is keeping time I am probably at a disadvantage and should be an underdog...LOL...Nice post

Dude, Stephen A. didn't say that, Bill Simmons did..

I just went back and re-read the article...and you sir, are correct. Thanks for the heads up. I thought Simmons had quoted Stephen A.

Agree and Agree..........

Joel, the only thing that concerns me is if Melhor Ainda is healthy; she has a sporadic work pattern and I'm not sure why she hasn't run already. Still, Bobby did indicate months back that he might train her up to the Diana; if that's the case, he probably doesn't need to work her like clockwork every 5 days since that race isn't until mid-August. He's a great trainer and she runs well off of layoffs (as well as on any going - firm, good, soft).......I'm really crossing my fingers with her.

Yeah, and I trhink your concerns are valid...let's face it, she is a Pulpit and as much as I like that stallion, his foals are very fragile animals on par, especially the fast ones, and obviously he was very fragile and has passed his soundness issues to his progeny.....Frankel is stellar off the shelf so I would definately see it as a strong endorsment if she trains directly up to the Diana because it would tell me that he is confident that she would be up to that task or he wouldn't do it to her.....we'll see

Predictions....hmmm...This should be fun

Pletcher wins another Eclipse.
Deep Impact loses in the Arc and if he runs in US he will lose again.
Hurrican Run will struggle this year.
Flower Alley is upset in the Breeders Cup Classic.
Gorella wins whatever Breeders Cup race she races in.
Declans Moon has a great fall and winter
Lost In The Fog wins only 1 more race
Surf Cat is retired

Last but not least---D Wayne Lukas wins 2 Breeder Cup races.

Wow, those are some predictions, but this isn't 1994, no way Lukas wins 2 Breeders Cup races, he might not even win 2 stakes the rest of the year.

Well the thread called for some bold predictions.............

BC winners:

Juvenile: Scat Daddy (although I question his ability around two turns...seriously, I think the BC Juvy winner hasn't raced yet)

Juvenile Fillies: One of the 20+ fillies that Darley has in training at the Spa that hasn't started yet...

F&M Turf: Gorella and stablemate Lady of Venice EX, especially if Shawanda is on the shelf and it is looking that way...I don't like Ouija Board...I also thought Asi Siempre would be a live U.S. sleeper this year but I have been worng there as she has been AWFUL and I've lost a lot of money supporting her ass, but Biancone still gets the EX in this division when his 3yo filly steps up and runs HUGE to complete the EX behind her chalk stablemate...

Mile: One of Europe's top milers just like always (not sure who yet)...

Turf: Again, the Euros are still better than us...Hala Bek is a solid sleeper if he comes and Hurricane Run wins if he comes....

Distaff: Happy Ticket...not a reach here and I would've gone Indian Vale had I thought she possessed more heart than I've seen from her...

Sprint: Henny Hughes in a thriller...any huge surprise here?

Classic: Bernardini wins for fun...

HOY = Bernardini
