4/11 (KEE): Maker's Mark Mile (Gr. I)

[Scav]

your right phil, that race is LOADED.

any chance we see Firm that day or is the weather still retarded?

[Scav]

I just had a write up for each horse and f'n lost it. you guys get nothing now

[booner]

Absolutely loaded. VERY good field.

30%-50% chance of T-storms starting early tommorrow morning and continuing throughout the weekend. Doesn't look good for a firm course. I'm thinking yielding at best.

[zippyneedsawin]

wow.. nice field... especially for this time of year.

Yes, the Jacksons are in the process of looking for a stallion home for him, most likely overseas.

Is that off the top of your head, or did you look at a Form?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

What do you think?

He's got Rough And Ready 50/1 - even though he's a Pletcher runner who's 4-for-4 lifetime on the turf - with three of those four wins coming by margins of 5.5 lengths or more.

I think Scavs future as a linemaker is about as bright as mine as a song writer.

Top of my head....I just made them messing around.

Drugs, I did it because the horse is way outclassed....

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I know Scavarino - I know.

But you did say "let's see how close I can get to the ML odds" ... even if you (or an ML maker) have a knock on a horse or don't like it's chances - the ML makers job is to assign horses odds based on what he believes they will close at.

This is without a doubt the worst ML in history. Scav, u r the man.

My top 3 picks were the fav and two 50-1 shots. "back up the truck time".

[knickslions2]

1 1 Kip Deville Velasquez C Dutrow, Jr. R E 123 L 5-2
2 2 Einstein (BRZ) Albarado R J Pitts Helen 123 LA 4-1
3 3 Parading Velazquez J R McGaughey III C R 117 LA 20-1
4 4 Ruff and Ready Coa E M Pletcher Todd A 117 LA 10-1
5 5 Thousand Words (GB) Castellano J J Frankel Robert 117 LA 10-1
6 6 Zann Leparoux J R McLaughlin Kiaran P 117 LA 10-1
7 7 Cosmonaut Prado E S Serpe Philip M 119 L 6-1
8 8 Out of Control (BRZ) Gomez G K Frankel Robert 121 LA 10-1

I was pretty close on most of them. But yeah, way off on others. 10/1 on Ruff and Ready is ridiculous. He is facing multiple graded stakes horses, I would play the horse at 45/1 or better.

NEVER SAID I WAS A GENIUS at ML making. I'll add this to the multiple page document of things I am not a genius at
