Looks like he should be a square price.

No doubt

Isn't Utley a half to Rainbow View and Just as Well?

[philcski]

From DerbyMedia:
Chamberain Bridge (Turf Sprint) popped an abscess this a.m. & will probably skip his next scheduled breeze. Will return to track tomorrow.

Obviously a big deal as he probably will be a top 3 choice.

I know this is probably hyperbole because we all know what she is capable of, but Zenyatta looked just awesome in her work a few minutes ago.

Well, that cinches it for me, she's definitely HOY!

Anyone have any opinions on the Turf Sprint?

Yes, I do.

They should get rid of it.

Grand Adventure is the most likely winner.

Ravalo is the value.

I'm curious how you can like that horse at 5f. He is either gonna be 7 wide in the turn or he is gonna have to have fight through traffic.

I am not sure what price Bridgetown will be, intrigues me, but whoever I figure to be in the 2nd tier (out of three tiers) will be who I'll be using.

It's one of the few races I'm really interested in seeing the draw. I've looked at the race about 4 different times and I've come up with a different opinion each time. But, for now I'm interested in Central City, Rose catherine and Grand Adventure.

I'm sure that will change in a day or so.

Wouldn't play Chamberlain Bridge with monopoly money.

I also think Quick Enough can sit a good one and catch on for a slice.

To me, for a spread player, it is an all race because the traffic trouble in this race will be plentiful, and I'll probably do that on at least a couple tickets.

Right now, if I had to commit to a couple it would be Silver Timber, Bridgetown, Chamberlian Bridge because they will have the tactical speed and still be able to finish.

He's simply the most talented horse in the field when right. He's tactical enough to be where he needs to be and he was much the best when he lost to Silver Timber by a neck going 5.5f earlier this year. Like you said, the outcome of this race will be very trip dependent, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to take the horse(s) I think are the best or offer the most value just because I'm worried they'll get a bad trip. I don't know why Grand Adventure projects to get a bad one, though.

I don't really get the Bridgetown appeal at all. No horse he has beaten has come back to flatter him enough to suggest he can beat the top ones here. I guess you could say that the pace was a little fast last time and maybe the course was anti-speed, but isn't he going to have a lot more pace to contend with this time?

I'll probably bet Ravalo to win unless Grand Adventure is a higher price than I'm expecting. Then I'll use Ravalo, GA, Silver Timber and Central City in exotics.

Did nobody want to put Calvin Borel on a horse in the Classic going 1 1/4 on a track where he's won 3 of the last 4 Derbies at said distance and Pletcher said he's good everywhere else but he's 5 lengths better at Churchill?

[fantini33]

I will be leaning on Warriors Reward strongly enough that if my opinion is correct there, and yet I whiff on all the other races, I will still make money.

Loved him in this spot as he should be 4-4 on the CD lawn. Obviously the abscess and missed breeze dampen the enthusiasm. Any update on his status would be appreciated. Thanks!

Morning Line as the ML favorite of the Mile. Battaglia smoking some strong stuff

Who needs Borel when you can sign up Rajiv Maragh - and his $1.27 ROI in dirt routes over the last five years - from over 1,500+ total mounts.

Borel should be on something in every single dirt race.
