Dont let what you read on a message board keep you from making a bet on a certain horse.

I think you have a much better chance of cashing a ticket on your guy Quality Road. He will at least be the prominent throughout the race.

A horse in here who I have never bet or been a fan of is very interesting and appealing to me- Charitable Man. For once, you are going to get a fair price on him and the goal all along was to win this race. From what I have heard he is doing better than ever and in my opinion at around 5/1, hes the best value in the race.
five to one?!

He'll be close to double that unless the barn (I'm assuming) goes psycho on him like they did last time.

Muddy or sloppy. Suppose to get really heavy rain overnight into tomorrow morning, tailing off by about 1-2 pm, but by then the damage will be done.

Thanks that really sucks for the big day at The Spa and all the people that look forward to this day. Saved up a couple hundred bucks to play some pick 4's but may back off if there are considerble scratches. I am no fan of playin the ponies when it gets crazy wet, shucks I ain't all that good when its dry

Going to be a great day either way. Not letting this ruin my day. The weather was great today and I lost my butt. Even with slop, we'll end up with decent size fields and hopefully one or two I can unload on at around 5/1 or 6/1.

Good luck tomorrow to everybody and enjoy your Travers Day.

Sloppy, I am in Saratoga now and its been pouring hard for hours. Just a constent steady rain. If they somehow get 2-3 races on the turf THEY ARE AMAZING. I would say race 1 is 100% off the turf.
