Pletcher's stock

So what to do with Lucky Friend in the 5th tomorrow (Wed)? JV's return mount.

Pk4 single or play against? Still have work to do, but personally leaning to the former with small covers on a couple others.

I don't understand why Gadget Girl was such a healthy pin-hook. She was a 55K yearling turned 300K 2yo buy.

I love More Than Ready debuters, but from what I saw, she isn't especially fast.

She was lightly urged (which means nothing) in her sale work -- but 10 4/5 isn't anything special...even over a track people were claiming was "deep and slow"

These horses get a full run-up and are only asked for one good furlong. It's not like they're breaking from a starting gate with just 40 ft of run-up going a true distance.

I'm only going 2-deep this race. I'm using the Pletcher 2yo for sure. And I'm using whoever appears more live on the board between My Happy Face and Teen Pauline.

I was Tiz Wonderful's biggest fan.

Haven't heard anything about her. . . here's my rationale: http://thetdnblog.blogspot.com/2012/...spa-day-5.html

I was a big Tiz Wonderful fan too.

Me three. I thought Tiz Wonderful was the most talented runner in that crop.

He reminded me a lot of his grandsire.

Hate to burst everyones bubble, but they are not beating the 9 in the baby race today. My only bet of the day....$50 to win.

Teen Pauline and My Happy Face were definitely the two correct first-time-starters in that race ... they blew the rest of the field into smithereens and I believe TP got the track record. Nice performance.

The experienced Pletcher runner couldn't even beat that Ritvo debuter that pin-hooked so well for 3rd. The Violette that was taken a lot of money will be in for a tag next time out.

I had a multiple dollar ticket live to Pletcher, but nothing... Managed a $.50 cover ticket that was ok. Thanks for input.

Good job narrowing the race down CL. Late money on TP told you she was alive. Nice $40 exacta payoff.
