I like this horse but think that a minor placing would be his ceiling as they say. with a dream trip he might be this years Sedgefield.
Gayego is so much a better horse then Sedgfield ever was....cmon this horse can run, maybe not 10 furlongs, but Sedgefield?

but we're talking about a 10 furlong race aren't we?
wasn't meaning to compare the horses per se, just that I think Gayego would need that kind of trip to be a factor.

You're right and we should be looking for the plodder that runs those 12 second splits in this race. Who is he?

Court Vision. My group is trying to pool some trifecta/superfecta money and we're having a lot of arguments on this one. I think he can get a piece, but don't think he's fast enough to win unless the whole thing falls apart and the other closers have big trouble or don't fire.

Court Vision though in his last couple of races has not made a middle move, thats concerning. Even a plodder like Giacomo made middle moves in his prep races showing a hint of talent.

maybe, but whenever you throw a dog **** horse in a comparison its very difficult for anyone to see beyond a straight talent comparison. Gayego is a top class horse who could get 10 furlongs, and I suppose at 18/1 (thats what he is at on Pinnacle) and big brown is 5/2 its an easy handicapping decision. He can win this race but depending on his odds is how I would rate him (I know I know, its wishy washy but I relate everything to their price).

me too, its hard to take 5-2 in this race and believe me i've jumped on the bandwagon and taken my lumps . with this many horses anything can happen, why bet the chalk ?
