Is Kodiak Cowboy running in the Kenner Stakes on the undercard? He should be eating up checks in races like those. I just hope they don't bother routing him again, unless you count the Derby Trial as a route. He could be a nice sprinter.
Oops, nevermind, I thought the kenner was restriced to 3 year olds. That's a nice field. Last edited by cakes44 : 03-03-2008 at 02:51 PM.

And in this case, more like four or five, but he should be a fat price on the board again and nobody can deny that he shows up with his race every time they take him over.

What the hell is Pletcher doing with A. P. Arrow?
He would have been 1/5 in that lousy Grade 2 350K field at GP last week .. he entered Fairbanks instead! Now, A. P. Arrow has two nice works into him since his close 2nd to Spring At Last in the Donn Handicap - instead of entering him in this weeks Gr 2 $500K dirt race at nine furlongs - he decides to enter the lousy tag team of Circular Quay and Magna Graduate. Keep in mind, Magna Graduate was nominated to the Gr 3 Razorback at Oaklawn Park - a prep for the Oaklawn Park Handicap...which seemed like a highly logical route for MG to take. A. P. Arrow not entering very logical spots two weeks in a row seems like a pretty big tipoff that Pletcher intends to run him in the Dubai World Cup. When you only have one halfway decent older male dirt router - and no 3yo to take his place - why take him half way around the world to a race he has no shot in hell of winning? I realize 2nd place in the World Cup pays $1.2 million and A. P. Arrow isn't a synthetic horse so his BC Classic hopes are nill - but, he's also FAR from a sure thing to run 2nd in Dubai ... and Pletcher is really going to miss him in these yearlong dirt routes in his empty division. With the picture as it stands now, to me, running A. P. Arrow in Dubai looks almost as silly as not running Rags To Riches in the Belmont looked leading up to that race. If you remember, it had to take a Street Sense defection for him to run her!

Besides Spring at Last and Daaher, AP Arrow is the only horse in that race that got the trip he wanted. And that was the way the race figured. He was no sure thing to beat Fairbainks on Saturday, much less the winner.

A.P. Arrow would have been 2/5 last Saturday - he's very soundly beaten Fairbanks in his last two races...and Sir Whimsey just isn't much.
Curlin will make a pure mockery of him in Dubai. It's hard to imagine not wanting to dance all the dances in such a weak yet lucrative division - by leaving the door wide open for a Dubai trip as Pletcher is doing ... he's considering leaving all these easy pickings go ... just for a shot to make $1.2 million for running 2nd beaten a city block to Curlin.

This could be a good betting race because of Yankee Bravo being entered. Any race that includes an undefeated, stakes-winning horse that has absolutley zero chance to win usually means there is some money to pick up elsewhere. If Pyro is somehow not odds-on here, I think it will be incredibly easy money.

Circular Quay looked like he wanted to fall asleep at his comeback race at Santa Anita.
Although, this will be the one year anniversary of his last victory (louisana Derby in 2007)!
