I used the top three finishers for the contest... do you think I actually bet the trifecta though??.... of course not!

Doesn't that just suck! Funny thing was I actually liked Great Hunter because he was getting more distance. Now I find out he only won because he was on poly and had the better trip. Well crap, I can't handicap! I hate 2yr old races too!

The tires favor horses who lope one paced, I think thats obvious. If a horse has high early speed or a huge burst of acceleration, they are screwed. And since most if not all good dirt horses are good because they posess one of those two traits it pretty much dooms them.
CQ wasn't even 2nd best there, the third horse was(he had a much tougher trip). I'm no action expert, but if you think CQ was running like he had in his previous three I have soem real estate in the everglades that will be right up your alley.
This past weekend's Poly stakes were pretty funny. I wonder how often Asi Siempre would beat happy and spun on dirt? How about Kelly's landing suddenly becoming "great" after two just awful efforts? Then of course there was the maiden who won the opening day stakes race.
Trainers may try it, but they sure as hell aren't gonna run back on it with horses who don't like it.

He had a tough trip but was still not gonna win. Hunter had been chasing so-so's with no excuse good trips. He certainly isn't better than CQ on dirt, and that will be exposed in about 4 weeks.

Horse Greeley bounced to the moon yesterday, that is what happen, nothing else. California is not that strong.

As for Circular Quay, he looked nothing like he has in his other starts, he didn't look comfortable, so i agree with Oracle on this aspect.

A strong angle that I used to use at Keeneland was tossing huge Keeneland races when horses went to other tracks, might switch that around and toss bad efforts and play them back when they run again. Circular Quay should be a huge play in the BC Juvy, not particularly strong race this year

In all seriousness I think CQ has a big chance to win the BCJ because he has no chance to win a triple crown race.
