I like Trappe Shot but it looks like McPalsy doesn't have the good stuff this meet.

I would not argue with anyone saying Trappe Shot is the most talented horse in here.

I'm using two horses. The other is Ice Box. Lezcano off is H-U-G-E

C'mon coach you know how this story ends

Yeah changing my mind and throwing him out and watching Leparoux move him wide down the stretch to a victory?

The Belmont there was no excuse. Last race it's well documented that Lezcano has been on another planet. Probably one of those new planets NASA is going to announce tomorrow. So throwing the last out and going back to Fla. Derby and Ky Derby if there is a slight improvement he has as good a shot as any.

And the price should be good.

Coach, as much as I have been against Ice Box, he is the one Im tossing Im most worried about. The pace could be swift and he might be running late.

He looks as if he might be one of those off-the-pace horses whose performance is relatively easy to predict. If you look at his last four races, they went fast early in the first two and he won one and finished a strong second in the other. The next two they didn't go fast early and he didn't do anything. That's obviously not surprising, given his running style, but he looks like he might be even more one-dimensional than many. Given the probable pace scenario here if there aren't any scratches, and a Zito off-the-pace exacta looks very possible to me.

To me the pace sets up alot better for Afleet Express more than it does Ice Box. Its gonna be a Belmont type pace as well as distance and we saw who finished 1/2/3 in that

Not what I meant. The story ends with Lezcano winning the Travers.

He could be on Pegasus and f.uck it up. He's that bad.

What do you base that on?

The lack of any brilliance. His huge Belmont win crushing a horse who has come back to run 2 triple digit beyers. His Monmouth races were strong losing to only the divisions leader while defeating at least 4 of these already. I'd say most raw talent is him or Afleet Express.

He got a better trip last out than those also coming out of that race. Doutful he finishes 2nd if Bravo doesn't move prematurely on AA, leading to the collapse of the race. Now he's going 10F and will surely be forced to run at a critical point of the race, rather than last moving the field. No thanks.
