It is dangerous to use specific opinions when looking at matchups.
Actually you were right. I took another look at the PP's of these two. At best I can give a slim edge to Pine Island. Pass on that match-up for me.

Pine Island / Asi Siempre is a joke.....I'm not a great fan of Pine Island, but she is a GREAT bet to finish ahead of Polytrack specialist Asi Siempre

Just dump your life savings on Pine Island in that matchup and then go rent a dump truck to back up to the bank after the race.....

I know, that one really makes no sense and I wonder how much could be bet on that match-up and I would love to see where the line ends up.

I am having my Mother make a needlepoint of the first sentence to hang over my bed.

Believe me, I'm as shocked as you were!

No, but she will be excited to hear she wasn't the only one.
