Yea, those Japanese are real stupid people.



cruised 5fl yesterday 59.95.

If he loses to this bunch, he should pack it up and head home.

Exactly.

He will, most likely, lose to this bunch.

Ohhh a five furlong work in 59.95.

Half the field will scratch out of respect for that blazing work.

Other than Lieutenant Ron, and maybe Shug's horse, this is not a good field.

If the son of Mineshaft has any guts, he should love the Big Sandy.

Maybe the Japanese are shopping, and boosting our economy with their YEN.

Lieutenant Ron may be VERY good.

Regardless, horses like this have a much better record of being phonies than not. Plus, from a betting standpoint, anytime a horse is bet strongly because of talk, and not performance, you are much better off playing against it.

Agreed. Odds are in the favor of the better this race.

Yamamoto may be the Dutrow of Japan.

Are Japanese betting pools part of the NYRA handle? Casino Drive will be 1-20 if that's the case. Remember Deep Impact's odds in the Arc last year? LOL.
