I dont like Kanagaro at all, but my friend does. He also has no real reasson to like him other then its an Indian Charlie.
Why do you like him?

Yes, I bet against him last race because I did not like him going in. I know he had a trip, but the 1-2 finishers coming out are slugs. The Shug might be OK, but did not show much and the Todd was HORRIBLE.
He seems like the type who will find trouble, maybe Im wrong. I guess on a spread in the pick 4 you have to use him.

The Shug horse ran a good 4th off a layoff against a promising Zito horse - 7 furlongs is too short for him and he closed well He's no slug..........I did think off that maiden win that he was better than Todd's horse, who was getting a lot of hype for his pedigree. This race is filled with intriguing firsters working very well.

I dont think the Shug ran that well. Of course he wants more distance, thats what everyone says for all Bernardinis. He just missed first out, why did 7f have to be to short? First out they ran slow, and Im thinking thats what he is, slow.

Then I take it you were not impressed with Heron Lake's race? If so, then that's fine, we'll disagree. It's not worth arguing about.

Heron Lake was a firster, who beat a horse who is supposed to be pretty good. I like him.

As Hossy said - Solis put him to sleep in his last race. His race two starts back was decent and the pace was slower than it appears.

I guess there is a slight fear he might be a heartless underneath horse - but he's been gaining in smaller field slow early-fast late type races. In a 12 horse field he should have no excuse at all and be able to run his optimal race.

I'll be watching the board with the Lion Heart debuter and Pletcher/JRV debuter in case they're really live ... unless they are it's probably a two horse race and a sub-par MSW at that.

Where did Hossy say that? I must have missed it. I agree about it being sub-par and maybe Im being 2 quick to dismiss him. I kinda thought the Zito had a shot.
