What a lousy collection of horses by Big Cap standards. Setsuko finally got through his entry level alw condition last-out and he's a clear cut 2nd choice.

The Morning line favorite for the Big Cap is coming off a blowout win -- but his figure was weaker than ones turned in by about 5 different 3-year-olds in two turn routes at SA this meet.

Good betting race on paper -- but this is more like the Big Crap than the Big Cap.

Your right. Its a bunch of trash. I was hoping Game On Dude ran so I could bet against the GOAT. It would have added more speed. I dont really see how Ron The Greek can lose. Hes pretty close to a lock IMO. The sad thing is if he does lose its going to be Setsuko who might have finally turned the corner.

Where's Jaycito? Baffert drills him every week for 3 months, runs a decent 2nd in the Strub then goes into hiding again.

Before I respond to that, I saw your FB post and Im sorry about your family. They will be in my prayers this weekend.
As for Ron, I love him.... But so DOES EVERYONE ELSE. I might get off. When its crazy obvious like this, it usually does not pan out. That entire Stakes pick 3 looks totally chalky. I mean maybe the stretch out sprinter wires the turf race at 4-1 morning line? Maybe the 2 chalks hook up in the 3yr old filly race and it collapses??? I doubt it, but its possible. Goodluck today VJ.

Fair is fair...even though he doesn't deserve me being fair, PG was right about Ron the Greek. Good call.

Probably safe to assume he did get off him as he said he might.

He does keep answering the bell after all the abuse. I guess there is something to say for that.

Cheers to everyone who had Ron the Greek.

God, I was thinking of Rock Hard Ten (the person, not the fine horsie) during the latter part of the race... once I knew Gladding was done.

As far as capping, today was just awful for me but that's getting to be a way of life.

Is PFR alright?

From me, too, VolJack! Of course, at 1962nd place, I am really breathing down your neck...

Your right. Only one grade 1 winner (turf) and three grade 2 winners. Out of a total of 161 combined races by the field the beyer century mark has been only met 4 times...ughhh

Thank you. I was starting to wonder if it was me.

Of course I mean no disrespect to any of them or their connections, etc., but whoa... where's Miss Peggy Lee? Is that all there is?

I'm sorry but I am so disappointed. I keep thinking of Rock Hard Ten and Congrats coming in one, two (just like the picture of them a couple of days before!) and Saint Liam, Island Fashion, Truly a Judge, Borrego...

Disappointerd - and it doesn't usually take much to make me happy.
