Race 2- Toss B@T... Press Uncle Moe, back up with Astrology and Stay Thirsty.

Race 3- Toss Goldikova and Paco Boy. Use Rip Van Winkle, Proviso, Courageous Cat and Sidneys Candy.

Race 4- This is gross. Is there enough speed to set up the 2 best horses, Bribon and the Warrior. Likely spread, the 2 closers with Giralomo and Big Drama. Really hope I can form something strong in this race over the next 2 weeks.

Race 5- Fame N Glory, Workforce, Behkabad and Sans Frontieres all look really good to me, hopefully 1 or 2 of them will not go, and then I only have to go 2,3 deep, because I wont be using an American.

Race 6- Because of my love for the GOAT...I might have to include Lucky especially in the bigger pick 4's Ill play, but my mains will be Z and QR.

I wonder what B@T to Goldilocks is going to pay.

I'd love to know how anyone thinks that Proviso is suddenly going to sprout wings as that's the only way Proviso beats Goldikova or Paco Boy in the Mile. Proviso is a decent sort but she's been beating up on weaklings here in the US as well as horses who are past their prime, and on top of that she's doing it with perfect trip after perfect trip. Boys At Toscanova I believe is going to pretty darn tough to beat with his tactical speed and running style. Don't think 2 turns is going to be an issue at all for him. Frankly this year's sprint kind of just plain sucks. From what I saw on the BC Advance thing on formulator, there's like no one I have any interest in betting. In fact I would even say that I wish Lukas would enter Hamazing Destiny in here as he's shown an affinity for Churchill, second, on his best day he's good enough to beat this group, and third, he'd be a big bomb, when there doesn't look to be any real intriguing price horse yet to me, kind of like Dancing in Silks last year.

She never beat a real horse of significance in Europe as well.

Is someone really that impressed with a win in the Kilroe over Fluke and Battle of Hastings? A win in The Just a Game over Phola and My Princess Jess? A win in the Diana over Shared Account and an over the hill Forever Together? A win in the First Lady against C.S. Silk and Gotta Have Her (although GHH is a nice mare but not really a miler, more of a sprinter)? She's an ok horse but she's going to have to seriously find some real improvement to beat Goldikova and Paco Boy, and an amount that I am not sure a 5YO mare can have in her.

I'm all for trying to beat favorites, but I would suggest actually looking at the PPs with an open mind when they become available. It's well documented that you love Stay Thirsty and dislike BOT, but it seems like you're tossing him only to avenge your wrong opinion about him in the Hopeful. I haven't seen the PPs, but I would be shocked if Astrology has any kind of realistic chance to win the Juvy, even if his debut victory was a key race.
