I like Second of June here. 4-1 would be nice.. of course, I'll use PD to complete the exacta!

this is not an easy race.
if PD doesn't fire in the 90 degree heat,
its up for grabs.

suave has beaten PD before,
and to my surprise Seek gold, not only beat PD in his last out, he has gotten him twice, in the clark Hcp in 2004.

if seek gold beat him on two occasions,
so could Suave.

The second of June was ALL the rage in the spring of 2004.
he defeated Imperialism(winner of the SA derby in 04)in the fall of 2003, at 2. he beat Friends lake in 2004 who i think won the Florida derby that year. he had three wins in a row headed into the Fountain of youth, was a derby favorite.
In the FOY 2004,he and Read the Footnotes got involved in a struggle down the lane that handed 6/2 not only a loss at the wire, but he sustained an injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the year more or less. he has not won since that race. time off to heal, then a short lived return, and another layoff.
he was third to Bandini in his first race back off his second layoff. he is by Loius Qatorze,(sp) who i think won the Belmont a few years back. he should be able to run 9.5f, and may be the one to catch.

O'connels, from brazil has run three times here.
looking at his PP data, he has run LOg races in south america
and he could a threat as well.

there is no apparent throw outs in this race, and PD could finish out of themoney as well as in the money.

It was the Preakness LQ won.



PD will be in the money! Second of June I would put in an exacta. Tri maybe go with Suave.

O'Connells is the sleeper in the Wash Park. He had a terrible pace set up last time; no speed in the race and he was against it. He had traffic issues in the stretch and won well in hand, despite the small win margin.

I am pretty sure that Imperialism did NOT win the Santa Anita Derby. If I remember correctly, it was Castledale that year.

But back to the point....it is a tough race, but despite PD's love for 2nd and 3rd place finishes....I think he likes this track and is the class of the field.

BINGO!

Imperialism finished 3rd in that race, but was moved up to 2nd due to Rock Hard Ten's disqualification. Castledale was the winner.

he was 2nd then, he won something out west, and was third in the derby... whatever he was fast, and 6/2 beat him as a 2 yo which was the point of mentioning him.

jeez i spend 1 minute makin a post and 10 posts explaining/defending all the spelling, grammer, and slips of memory errors

dam..

tough crowd.

but by doing this it helps me, because i knew Louis qatorze won either the preakness or the belmont and i was shown which it was. and in this case, because the race is 9.5f who won what, at what distance, matters.

Yeah it can be a tough crowd. I wasn't trying to bust your balls, just trying to make sure that Castledale got his due credit.

Damn, I preferred busting his balls since he does that to everyone else, but oh well.
