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?

Thanks, I really don't know what I am doing in that contest.
I wasn't crazy about the restricted group of horses there was to pick from.

I lucked up with the News Pending pick, I thought he would win one of the KY Poly derby preps. It wasn't that I thought he'd run 2nd in the FoY.
I have been a big fan of his since I saw him work at FT Tim last May.
I needed him to break his maiden in his 2nd career start at 12:1 to win a NHC contest at KY Downs. That didn't work out but, I knew he would turn out to be a nice one.

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