Tom Fool as I see it

I respect Anew, but like any horse, they all throw in sub par races. I think today he is up against it and the price doesnt fit his chances to win. I also liked Dubai Escapade yesterday for obvious reasons, but she threw in a clunker. They all do, hardest part is predicting when they will.

If Anew wins this race he stamps himself as the early favorite to win the BC Sprint and I will not only be vey surprised but very, very impressed.

Sir Greeley is scratched in the Fool, as so is Golden Comander in the 7th, a horse I was going to single in the late pick 4. Now its back to the drawing board!

Anyone fancy anything in the 7th?

Tim,
Tough for me to decide between #2 Dave and #6 Continental Reins in the 7th.
Will try to narrow it down, or maybe use them both.

Thanks Wayne. Tough race. These horses have a history of "taking turns". I thought the race set up perfectly for Golden Commander, now to me its a total puzzle. I guess if I play the pick 4 I will be 3-4 deep in here.

Good luck to you and looking forward to meeting you in a couple of weeks

Good luck Tim.
btw...I don't think Anew will hit the board in the Fool.
See you at Toga.

I like Dave. Barclay also has Lael's Polished Arrow in Belmont's 3rd trying the turf today. I don't really like him there, but one of the guys I live with loves the horse.

BR,
As I said, I like Dave too, but I never discount a Jim J trainee.
Polished Arrow might do something in the 3rd, but honestly, I haven't paid attention to that race. I'll get back to you when I take a closer look.

Ok...took a look.
My heart says #4 Fast Iz a Turtle cause I like AP Jet's and Sugar Maple Farm.
He hasn't done much lately but did earlier in his career. I don't think he'd be in if he didn't have a chance to hit the board.
That said, #6 Apollo Jones is going to take it. Prado in the irons.
So...I'm thinking Apollo Jones over boxed Fast Iz a Turtle/Polished Arrow.
Same three for the tri.
Good luck!
