I kind of like Dos Lunas in here who will be a similar price. I loved her debut, very good synthetic pedigree and word is the work on Saturday was excellent. Cross out the Saratoga try and she fits well.

I like Dos Lunas as well but only at 8-1 or greater.

I'm only betting Goldikova in the BC Mile if she's over 17:1. Maybe 15....but I want 17:1.

Yeah I'm that far off.

No, you're not....but she can't be 8:1.

Yeah it's reaching. Maybe if there were 2 more horses in the race.

I'll pass the Alcibiades.
In the Phoenix, I'll side with the longshot, Super Robusto

High Quality in the 7th

Too bad she was.

I don't really want to argue this any more, especially because nobody won on the race, but 8-1 to 15-1 (plus a scratch) is a LOT closer to 7/2 in a parimutuel pool.

I also said FL would be 30-1, 40-1 versus an admittedly hopeful 15-1 on DL.

Now, before you whine ( as you did in your deleted post yesterday ), remember....you were the jerk here.....not me.

I admit being a jerk by posting the eyeroll- but taking only semi-veiled shots both here and in another thread was acceptable on your part? When you're as vociferous as you were here you also have to accept the counterattacks. And the post that was deleted was far from whining- it was stating the truth.

Listen, you've had it out for me for 6 months. Why, I don't know. I'd love to bury the hatchet on whatever it is.
