relatively decent pk3 will-pays on informed and sensational score $90?

thanks for the image, lol

Nice horse - Trevor said he was never really asked. He's talented, no doubt, but I'm very nervous about him being asked to do way too much in a couple of weeks

I guess that tap with the whip and VE riding him the last part was an illusion. I have no idea what this race will or wont do for this horse in 2 weeks. I suppose it was about what they were expecting.

Bobby Fischer · #6 10-12-2008, 07:31 PM

broke alertly. didn't show a ton of early foot, but he settled right away.

Made headway/Came to even terms approaching the far turn.

Showed a response in the stretch with hand urging.

galloped out well.

looked like a good animal from post parade to photo.

go bananas

Completely and totally in hand IMO. I think Victor was being prudent snapping the lines, waving the whip and tapping him. He seemed very responsive. Trevor said something like "needs to speed up a little here" -- and you could see that whatever Victor did, the horse just responded, let it out, strided out, etc. just a bit more. Nice colt; especially considering what he's done and how he's done it.

12 days back? In the Classic? Unless he is some incredible freak of nature and sitting on a monster of a performance (which I do not see), or something very strange happens, like the entire field falls apart, I say no shot. Very nice horse though. Looks like he has a lot of talent and ability. I'd love to own him.

I really just hope he runs well in the Classic- that would be an achievement in itself.

Bobby, thanks for the screen caps!

I agree he will be no factor if the better horses in the division show up. However, how can any serious player bet the card with any conviction. All of these horses trying this track for the first time its impossible to send it with a solid opinion. Pathetic really

Nice win over drek, but if this is what they consider an orgasmic performance, they need a road map and a compass to their libidos and a lot of Viagra ...

I don't get it. The horse is a nice horse and he runs a nice race; no one is saying he's going to win the Classic. Why do you have a problem if people think he ran well today...? Again, I don't see anyone going over the top with this. I'm not trying to be defensive - I just don't get the antagonism towards this horse.

and i don't get why you're so concerned about my opinion, or why you get so defensive-or think lack of enthusiasm equates antagonism? yay, he won an optional claimer.
and i do believe i've seen some posts on here in day's past saying this horse would have a say in the classic. hilarious.

Hey! I resemble that comment.

letswastemoney · #17 10-13-2008, 12:14 AM

He has good tactical speed. He's going to sit right off the leaders and if it's a fast pace, he'll get first run on them.

#18 10-13-2008, 01:45 AM

i think he has a legit shot, i wont be using brown or curlin on anything....
you have to use casino, go between and tiago IMO

if casino drive didn't have two belmont winners as his siblings, everyone would be laughing their asses off at this horse and his hapless connections. but since he has better than honour as his mama, he suddenly has a shot-a legitimate shot?? and then i have to read how zenyatta is too lightly raced to attempt a shot as the classic as well.....we're nothing if not consistent on here.
