[quote=brianwspencer]Every Euro I've talked to over here, including a couple from the Racing Post, say the French runner isn't much. He'll need the race of his life to win this and rates below plenty of the American runners.

well for what it's worth -- that was written and discussed before Sudan scratched.....

i hate to redboard, but you can ask Tom or anyone out there at AP, that the second Sudan scratched, this horse became a must bet in my book as the lone speed, and certainly got bet.

If Sudan is in that race, this horse finishes fifth at best.

The irishman is still alive, took him to downtown AH on Friday night, and then drank free beers saturday at Arlington from 11am to final post...He would disappoint Ireland as at one time, he was backed up 5 beers......

Also keep in mind that all week he was telling me that Winchester had no chance, and then the SOB had money WPS on the f'n horse.

Took him to Gators last night with friends and a couple of lady friends that were 'savage' in his words and partied all night....He fell in love with broccoli bites, and then took him to breakfast joint, where lady friends work at, and got him a broccoli omelette, and started drinking again today at Sox game

Been a grand time

Scav's doing his best to KO him... but he's still killing it at the windows. Gave us all super info on the Euro's, I nearly made a huge score on the Bev D with his insistence to include the 50-1 shot in the super, tossed DOA (in retrospect, no reason to exclude from 4th) and she beat P Kitten by a nose or I have that super which paid $7,600.

Anyways, Chicago rocked, had an AWESOME time, special props to the always-generous superman GBBob who welcomed us into his home and was a most generous host! Good to see all the Chitown crew out...

I'm not saying Archipenko had a bad trip, and perhaps he was abit unlucky. But I thought he got out in time if he was head and shoulders the best horse in the field to get up. Yes Spirit One got a great trip and that is part of racing making your luck. He made his own luck and he was running down the lane, any other horse I think Archipenko would have nailed at the wire. I get the sense from reading here all Spirit One did was inherit a favorable situation and just got lucky, I think the horse deserves abit more credit than that.

I made a score because of Spirit One, but I'd agree that Archipenko was best. Never underestimate an easy lead like that going long on the turf.

he got out with like 100 yards to go, maybe, and having to make up 2 lengths off a horse that just did soft fractions.

If Murtagh doesn't ride to keep him pinned, Penko is out and clear by the 1/4 pole and it is alot closer, and probably blows by this horse.

Honestly, Murtagh was out of horse on the the final turn and purposely rode to keep Penko pinned. I don't blame him one bit, that is race riding. Shea had EVERY opportunity on the backside to get Penko in clear running in the 2 path but chose to keep him on the rail...

Yeah he was mentioned earlier this week, glad you made the bet on him. I joked that I never heard of him earlier this week but the good thing is I got to see a replay of one of his races, obviously I am glad I bothered.

I'm glad you scored -- I definitely wanted nothing to do with the horse earlier this week.

If he was the horse that Jimmy Graham was on that broke down, it's not good unfortunately...very ugly
