He seems to be doing this a ton lately. And don't get me wrong, I'm pissed he's not going to give First Defence a shot but it seems like it's a trend with this guy and not just a one-time thing.

Most of Frankel's horses it seems gets scratched every other race.
There should be rules against being able to do this..

This scratch really sucks.
I liked Nobiz to win it even if the Frankel horse was in, but with that one scratched, Nobiz becomes extremely obvious, because now he shouldn't have any problem making the early lead at a comfortable pace. He will probably be sent off at odds-on. No value in the race now at all.

I would prefer there to be a minimum of 8 entries for the graded stakes. I know that would be a very tough job. (take a real professional to do that

).
5 and 6 horse fields and we get a scratch or 2 and

Going with Helsinki and Rondo.

Don't ask why.

High Finance wins, Awesome Twist ("from out of the clouds") 2nd, Commentator 3rd.

Rondo looked good there for a while anyway.....

VERY impressive win by High Finance. Attended quick fractions and still won by nearly 3. West Point has really hit the lottery with him and Flashy recently..

Storm Cadet · #8 07-04-2007, 05:02 PM

Great splits...43/108/121

Knowing West Point..they'll try to get him into Breeders Cup Sprint now! Not a bad payday either $120,000 for owners. Not a bad 4th of July party. I know they are popping the bubbly in the clubhouse bar right now!

High Finance (Talk Is Money) comes in red hot and wins. Recently posted one of the years highest beyers at 113.

Wait till you see his pace call and final figures on the different Beyers, TG, Rags, et al.

on todays race!
