I don't see anyone who's going to go 22, 45 and 2/5ths even though there is other speed signed on. Lastly, the winner of her last is a lot better than she ran on the 22nd, trust me I know. And as everyone can see Lost Without You came back to win last time. So, I give this second off the layoff the big thumbs up.

I think the connections, if they look at the race, will scratch La Ransom in order to run her entrymate.

The scratches come out tomorrow. I don't understand....how would I know of scratches?

I'm just guessing they will scratch La Ransom. If the connections look at the race, and have a pulse, they will scratch her. Whether or not they do is another question.

Romp is a single....save the the spreading for other races. Again, Romp is a single.

Apparently their lack of pulse did not allow them to look at the race because they are absolutely running the wrong horse.

I totally agree. Given the pace scenario it seemed a no-brainer to run Mine Or Who's. Perhaps the post position draws played a part in the decision.

Maybe that should tell you something...

That La Ransom is a lock?

If that's what you are saying, I'm not that simplistic with my handicapping. There are way way too many factors involved for me to make that leap of faith.

Nothing is a LOCK, though she is one of my singles today...like I said way back when in this thread, the winner of her last is A LOT better than her last race would indicate. Lost Without You ran a super race 2 weekends ago. And La Ransom is actually a pretty nice filly. 2nd off the layoff and KJD back aboard, speed from the rail (those things added up to victory in October). I'm very happy they kept her in because I wouldn't have bet her entrymate. I actually think La Ransom is the speed of the speed and if she scratched out in favor of her mate, the pace wouldn't have been as hot. I just hope she shows the same zip as last race and I'm pretty sure she'll still be in front at the 16th pole, the last 16th is the question.

Good Luck today
