NO WAY VJ. Derby winner and runner up 6-1? Trainer by Zito and Todd? NO WAY. Ice Box might be ignored a bit, but Super Saver WILL BE BET.

Gotta agree there SS will be bet but unless a horse with early speed enters Ice Box is just gonna be forgot about

Still would be nice to get 2 more horses in this field but who knows?

Trappe Shot, Super Saver and First Dude all have early speed. I gotta think Our Dark Knight would be on the pace also.

I don't think so.
Everyone know how magical Borel is at CD and, SS stunk up Pimlico.
I wouldn't surprised if the Preakness exacta is repeated here.

Im saying right now, Lucky wins this race. Baffert has him ready to roll. He wins this and runs huge in the Travers, September 1st he is the clear cut leader in the 3yr old division. A division that is wide open right now.

He'll be the favorite. You aren't saying much

Randy this is not a one race prediction. Its a 3yr old championship prediction, for a class/crop that is WIDE OPEN RIGHT NOW. He might be the favorite, but he might not be. If he is, it will be around 5-2 not odds on or anything like that.

Have to agree with you here. Lucky will beat these horses. I still think Twirling Candy is the best three year old but won't have enough races under his belt.

Based on what: running down Macias? How about this horse actually beats something, and covers a real distance of ground first? I realize there's really nothing out there but he's not even in the discussion yet.

Todd Schrupp, is that you?

Seriously, a 3YO who has won a restricted race at a mile on the turf? I mean, I know we all want to be the one to notice the next superstar, and that this group of 3YOs is not particularly strong but Twirling Candy has zero credentials to be mentioned as a serious 3YO right now.

You just can't fly a horse over the Rockies that often and expect to win the Haskell.

You don't suck at choosing your Avatar that's for sure. I am anxious to see how Trappe Shot can do against these. It is a very aggressive spotting for a barn that tends to be conservative in placing horses. He certainly could be every bit as good as KMac has been saying.

How is it aggressive at all? Im pretty sure he has the top last out beyer and won the local prep. I dont get this comment at all. Not trying to be a dick either, I just think its a super logical spot, they have been conservative enough with him facing FL Breds twice. Its time to see how good he really is.

I do agree with you and your not being a dick. The barn is usually very conservative and have been with him up to this point. The Allowance spot a couple back is one of those type of decisions I think. I do like the horse and was glad they didn't rush him as a 2 yr old. I'll be watching that's for sure. I just hope I can get 4/1 on him and the crowd dumps money elsewhere.

1. Lookin At Lucky, Bob Baffert, Martin Garcia, 5/2
2. Afleet Again, Robert Reid Jr., Joe Bravo, 12/1
3. Ice Box, Nick Zito, Jose Lezcano, 9/2
4. First Dude, Dale Romans, Kent Desormeaux, 6/1
5. Our Dark Knight, Nick Zito, Elvis Trujillo 15/1
6. Super Saver, Todd Pletcher, Calvin Borel, 3/1
7. Uptowncharlybrown, Kiaran McLaughlin, Rajiv Maragh, 15/1
8. Trappe Shot, Kiaran McLaughlin, Alan Garcia, 3/1


LAL get Lucky #1 Again and seems Pleasant Prince and Concord Point went for easier races in Ohio and WV Derby

[randallscott35]

Bob hates the draw. Get a grip. Its an 8 horse field and the 1 is a great place to be at Monmouth

Its not aggressive at all.
They have taken the most conservative route they could up to this point in his career.
He was a mortal lock in the Woody Stephens (yes I said so beforehand) and they passed for an Allowance race.
