Two Notch Road, Krypton, Majestictroubador, Awesome Dream, Formulaforsuccess, are ALL need the lead or need to be near the lead types to run their best races.

I've been wrong many times before, but this sure looks like slam dunk for Paddy.
You should try watching some replays sometime.

Paddy could win and is probably most likely to. But at what I think he'll be
(8/5ish) I think you have to try and beat him.

The goal is to pick the winner, right?

Why the sarcasim? I agree with him, Paddy IMO will be around 6-5 and is a pretty bad favorite, look at the trip he pulled last time, never once left the rail, not untill he made the winning move, no traffic, no checking, no getting boxed in, just a perfect trip.

They have an All Stakes pick 5, not sure if its a 50 cent minimum. Also not sure if its even playable, the first 3 legs are WIDE OPEN.

I wasn't trying to be sarcastic... I am just saying, the goal is to pick the winner, yes it is great when you can pick a a winner that is juicy rather than being a chalk eating weasel, but in this race I think the chalk is by far the most logical selection. And at 8/5 I think is a good play. Exactas, and tri's.

Why would he be 8-5? He is 7-5 morning line? I dont think he is any higher then 6-5 and I think its possible people get crazy and he is odds on. I play chalk a lot, I single chalk all the time in my bets, I think the term chalk eating weasel is crazy, but I think there is good chalk and bad chalk, and I think Paddy is bad chalk, for example the race before, Ramon is 7-5 ML I think she is good chalk and a very likely winner.

I think SV and Interactif are going to be bet down... but arguments like this are why they run the races, right?

Wish he would be 8-5. Be lucky to get 6-5 on him. He is going tobe really tough to beat here.

I feel the same. He will be one of two singles in my Pick 5 play.

1/5,9/3,4,5,7,9,11/2,3,5,8/7 = $48 (for a buck)

Interactif is a very good horse on turf with an excellent turn of foot. If he gets a decent trip off of the speed today, he should give Paddy O Prado more than he can handle in the stretch. He's better than Paddy O on turf, I would play him on top with confidence to win and with POP on the bottom in a logical exacta.

Just curious, is Ramon the reason why Stately Victor is attracting some interest?
