They should advertise it as " Coming soon, to a track near you, a bunch of $50K claimers. "


Except, of course, Barrier Reef.

I don't know how sarcastic you're being but I don't see Cave's Valley or Roman Emperor as 50k claimers. The opportunistic Spanky Fischbein who will most likely be exposed on Saturday could be headed for a tag.

I really liked Barrier Reef in the Count Fleet and while he gave up a bunch of ground to the place and show runners I'm skeptical of just how good he really is.

He needs to settle in the back and make one run. I may have been wrong about him, and he may be mediocre, but I would like to take one more chance.

There seems to be ample pace in here and hopefully the track will be reasonably fair.

Spanky Fishburn is a NY Bred, which may spare him from claiming races, but I will withhold judgement on the others.

I still don't see what it is that you (and others) see in Barrier Reef. I didn't understand it before the Count Fleet, and I certainly don't understand it after that race. To me he seems very likely to be headed to those $50,000 claiming races you mentioned earlier, and I don't give him much of a chance here at all.

$50k may be kind for the 4,5, and 6 post.

I agree, but at this point, shouldn't we be rolling out the welcome mat for 50K
claimers?

Good call on Barrier Reef! That was quite the stretch run. I cashed nice Win bet and have some good life in DD's. Could not piece the pick4 together however...

[blackthroatedwind]

Thanks. That was nice.

The Pick-4 was VERY tough. I didn't even play. And I definitely wouldn't be alive if I did.

Because of suicide or an angry bookie?
