Ask your buddies at ESPN.


Cool. Which horse are you putting it on, whale?

I am giving you the Lawyer. I get the field. At 3/5 it is an overlay for you. And don't forget you have the Robot training. He has a remarkable record in the BC.

How much money has he cost you this summer? You seem awful bitter over him. If you would've took the time to...

A. Calm Down
B. Take a Deep Breath
C. Read

You would've noticed that I said "should."

Why would I take even money when chances are he will be above that? And why do you want to continue to lose betting against him?

Actually, you are right...he has cost me money. I singled Wingspan on top of a tri key a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I boxed Mott and Baffert in the Hopeful and got stung. Dumb ass that I am, I didn't just bet the 6/1 Majestic Warrior to win. The Robot gets me coming and going.

It's just scary to think how good Lawyer Ron could be when The Robot's barn gets rolling again.

EXACTLY.

The Breeders' Cup has been pretty successful with stopping whatever roll Pletcher's barn is on.

My only worry for LR is whether or not he just really relishes Saratoga. Not to say he can't run well at Monmouth, too, but his last two are just monstrous compared to the rest of his career in my opinion.

While I accept LR being the undeniable horse to beat, I'm going to roll with Grasshopper and Asiatic Boy if he comes over. I'm hoping Haskin isn't playing with my emotions by mentioning the possible inclusion of AB in the Classic. After his UAE Derby, I felt he was the only dirt horse who could contend with Invasor. He'll be a nice price as well if he comes over.

Based on the fact that Lawyer Ron seems to love Saratoga and ran just an ok race at Monmouth, I think Any Given Saturday will be the favorite if he wins the Jockey Club Gold Cup or any race he runs in before the Classic. If he trains up to the race I would say LR will be the favorite.

Pletcher will have the two best shots to win the race but I will go with Grasshopper to win it all.


Here are some preliminary BCC futures odds. 4-1 is the lowest out there right now.

Anyone read what the plans are for Tiago? (not that he is my selection but one would assume he will go to the Classic)

He's currently at an undisclosed amish farm in Utah pulling a plow in preparation for the BCC.
