why dont people 'like' him? here's who he beat in the pan: mint lane, ready's echo, Golden Spikes, Cosmic, Spark Candle, Tomcito, Deputyville, and Fast Talking.

yeah, i'm going to bet that horse to beat curlin, well armed, go between, tiago, student council....lol!

he didn't cruise on sunday. and he's going to come back and run a lifetime best two weeks after his last? after having his previous races spread apart by how much time?? three months between his debut and the pan, and 5 months between that and sunday. and his 92 beyer sunday is supposedly on par with the horses he'll be facing the 25th? yeah, sure.

often unconventional ,so take whatever i say with a grain of salt...

1. - I could care less about his momma. - Yes I do care about having a quality dam and female family, but I don't believe there is any "belmont blessing" or extra special thing going on here... Solid to good dam and thats it.

2. - Casino Drive is a class animal. He is good physically. He doesn't have any major flaws. He has been well taken care of. He has a good style. Has a little bit of talent. He shows a response. Looks good in motion. This is a nice horse...

3. - In order to have any shot at the Classic, from my opinion, Espinoza would have to put this guy into a move that would normally be called premature, and CD would have to run the whole drive without tiring.
You don't see those types of moves very often at all. Jockeys with nice horses tend to run with the group and wait until the last possible minute and do as little as possible. I just haven't seen the talent yet that would give Casino Drive any chance with a standard trip.

It's silly to compare the two. Casino is a grade 2 winner...and regardless of the competition, he actually was able to beat those 3 year olds...while Tomcito raced in a couple of those races and was never able to win.

Anyway, what 3 year old race was a "key race." They all sucked. This is the weakest Classic field ever, and CD is a grade 2 winner with a beyer top of 99. It should only take about a 105-110 to win this. If he stays the same, he'll finish mid pack. If he improves, he'll be right there.
