I didn't know it was a requirement to have past performances before one can determine if they think a certain horse might be a factor in a race. But as always, you are correct. I suppose that if I told you today that La Traviata is going next in the BC Classic, you wouldn't be able to discount her chances until after you see the pps.

Sometimes, I like to do radical things like look at a projected field during the week leading to a race and try to figure out who I might like in that race. For example, if I knew Commentator was going to be in the Vosburgh, I would say that I didn't think he had a chance at all. Why? Because I've seen him run in top sprint races before. I don't need to see any pps to know what Commentator does. Same with Fabulous Strike. He's not going to have an easy time of it like he did in some of his big performances and I see him doing a fold job like he did in Florida when he's challenged up front.

You went from " tried to like him " to that bunch of malarky?

The La Traviata example was killer!

I have been out of the loop for a while, but I do remember the race at Calder and from what the connections of Fab Strike were claiming is that FS had a case of the thumps for that race. Also, it was about 105 degrees that day with a 99% humidity.. So I throw that race out and go from there.
