Don't worry about me, I am locked and loaded. I am not gambling until Friday night pre BC, I always play Los Al while I am handicapping it, moderate success. I am a stayer big guy....

Just wait until the chat on Friday night, I am in rare form during chats, and I pick nothing but winners, that I don't play

Nothing like staying awake until 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. on BC morning, waiting for that $5,000 triple that no one else has in North America!

I'm not going to turn this into an Aussie racing thread -- no one would care anyway - but there is a terrific "meeting" that Friday night/Saturday morning.

Oh, by the way, Honor In War is running in a HUGE Aussie race at 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning (NY time). The dude who founded the race is Murray Johnson's grandfather (Perfect Drift's trainer).
I am down to play that night, I can get the PP's from Youbet right?

SCORPION (Turf)
second off the layoff, not the usual way the Euros come into this race
ADHRHYTHM (Juvenile Fillies)
solid race going two-turns at Calder, these two year old types usual do well here
BUSHFIRE or LEMONS FOREVER (Distaff)
both have run well over the Churchill strip, front runner / closer.

George Washington. He is 20-1ML but probably 12-1 at post. Bernardini will probably beat him, but I will take my chance at a price.

SATULAGI, currently 50/1 with several firms over here for the BCJF.

She has repeatedly shaped as if better than able to show, looking as if stamina is her strength. She pretty much proved as much when fourth in the Fillies' Mile at Ascot last time, where she shaped as if further still will suit.
She is really likeable, always tries hard and is by Officer out of a Danzig Connection mare. She may well not be good enough, but I expect her to run with great credit.

For major bombs, I've taken Premium Tap at 50-1 and Super Frolic at 80-1.

Super Frolic finished within 2.75 lengths of St. Liam last year after "stumbling badly" at the start. His last 3 races this year have been decent, though the last one (Goodwood) was the least impressive. He doesn't have much chance to win the Classic, but he's got better than a 1/81 chance, IMO.

He's also nominated to the Mile, but with 26K in lifetime earnings on grass, and his last turf race a 15-length loss in August of '04, I don't think there's much chance they are really going to run him in the Mile.

in the sprint, siren lure and too much bling are both live at a decent price....
siren lure, a former claimer and turf sprinter will get some of my $$.

Super Frolics trainer has said that they have cleared up a problem he's had since his last race and expect him to improve. They didn't say what the problem was. Just a FYI.
