Curlin still scares me.

Street Sense by a neck over AGS with Curlin making a too late, Easy Goer type move for third

Wow.....this explanation ought to be good.

His obscure sire Chayim's biggest accomplishment was being the sales topper at the '92 Barretts March 2yo sale - and winning a couple dirt sprints in southern Cal.

The dam was by the sire Alhajras (who never hit the board in two lifetime starts) and was 2-for-12 racing in the hotbed of thoroughbred stardom that is Hugo Chavez land.

His 2nd dam Inspiring was a hopeless Slew O' Gold who never ran first or second from seven tries.

I think Remarkable News' breeding is just plain soft.

And now I see I took the bait.

Thanks for wasting my time.....

It's not like I had anything better to do on a Friday night I guess.

This might be the first time that one of my posts hasn't turned into a battle of personal attacks between two other DTers within the first 20 replies.

I am going to toss Better Talk Now and the two you mentioned and use the other five in the late pick-3. I think the rain makes Shamdinan a potential threat, despite his last two dull efforts.

Value is the most misused word in the betting lexicon. Value is only important when you win. The races with the most value are the ones you get more money back in than you put in. Betting on losers who are good prices will get you broke in a hurry. If you love a horse and his price is too short and there are no exotic plays that make sense, skip the race. Too many guys go against the horse they think will win because they dont like his price. The horse they like wins, they lose but they feel good about themselves because the got value. Makes no sense. That is the Cannon Shell betting editorial of week.

I say this because i can already see me sitting there with $500 worth of losing tickets after this race saying...you know I shoulda had that....

I keep having this vision of BTN 10 wide passing them all...makes no sense but who the **** knows this year...

I also had a vision that it was going to rain at this BC though I thought it may be cold too...passed up freebie tickets... best call of the year

I was hoping for a Hossy training editorial for the week.....

all this time I could have been sending desperate text messages to Emily begging for her to give me a 7th chance.

justindew · #31 10-26-2007, 10:05 PM

I'm a little surprised that I have not heard anyone pick Nashoba's Key or Octave tomorrow. But then again, I haven't been listening that closely.

Nah, I doubt it will be fun.

Tell her you hate her and she is a worthless bitch....sometimes it works and if it doesn't....you dont have to try anymore

I fully expect Octave to put in her usual solid effort and finish 3rd or 4th. In that race I am using Ginger Punch and Lear's Princess.
Lady Joanne and Balance are the ones that scare me a bit. Octave just doesn't win enough.

And that explains my current situation.

She is certainly better on the dirt than on the poly, and if Bear Now wasn't in the race I would like her chances.
With Bear Now in, I think Castro will have her involved early and then she will be out of gas in the final furlong.
