Why? Zaftig's last race was pretty big. I'm starting to not like Indian Blessing. Taking the blinkers off is an interesting move by Baffert - is he going to try to rate her? Good luck with that. . .


If you want an interesting jockey move - JJ choosing (assuming he chose) Strike the Deal over Pays to Dream seems odd. Maybe Pays to Dream's last really was a fluke - or maybe we can't trust the pinhead to tell us which horse is better.

Good luck with Shakis - he looks done to me.

pays to dream looks cheap to me.

I don't really trust him. . . The Pimlico race was HUGE but the grass that day was probably worse than its "good" rating and nobody else in the field fired. Bounce-believers (not me) could point to that too.

I just looked at his 2nd race at SAR. His 1st one was excellent and I wanted to see if he'd had a trouble trip. He wasn't really pinched back or steadied, to any meaningful degree. In fact, positionally, he got a perfect inside (draft) out trip. The shape of the race didn't work to his advantage, however. This guy can thus fire 2 good ones in a row.

In Fat Land, his last race was off the charts.

A case where I think others are better but I can't overlook that last race.

Then again, I still can't get over his 1st race back this year.

Good insight. Thanks.

i never said i like shakis...
i dont like him at all
maybe i got my numbers messed up... in the manhattan i like 4 horses.....
Stalingrad,Proudinsky,Strike a Deal , stream of gold.... those are the 4

zatfig did look fine, beating a bad field, and jv was not even on that day... but like i said i dont think it matters, indian blessing, to me is the best single on the card... short field... her class, her speed, i think she romps
