#2 Tahitian Warrior 1-1

[The Indomitable DrugS]

Tahitian Warrior has much better early speed than the Pletcher horse.

Yeah, Desert Key came out of that last race and improved his Beyer 22 points, big deal - if you saw the race, Desert Key went to his knees at the start and absolutely lost all chance.

It started as a four horse field - and after Desert Key almost fell - it was basically reduced to a match race between Jackontherocks and Uwannapieceofthis .. which Jackontherocks easily managed to win.

In his next start, Jackontherocks was dogged down despite a loose early lead by that cool Suffolk Downs horse that debuted for a 4.5K tag in his MCL win.

I was about to post the same thing. The Pletcher isn't as fast early as the Ward horse or Tahitian Warrior.

Thats my entire point, and why I said I think Todd can and will rate.

Looks to me that Tahitian Warrior lays over this field.

We are talking about a 2-5 chalk, and this spot makes no sense. If he is that good, why not run in the Kings Bishop. I dont buy the Discreetly Mine argument, who else is going there? Whats wrong with second at worse?
I will lose money if he wins, because he wont be on my pick 4 ticket.

They paid $2 million for him. . . and he's a gelding. Why assume that there's a logical explanation behind what they do?
