Really excited about this entire Gulfstream card. Not a claimer in sight. The Oaks is a war. The turf races are good. I cant wait.
For the Derby, tons of speed. Heres to hoping Orb goes off the third choice. I dont see it. I could see him being favorite. Im going to spend a little time tonight coming up with a price closer to use along with Orb. My buddy likes to put an M in front of Orb. I dont really get it.

ateamstupid · #3 03-27-2013, 05:17 PM

I bet Pletcher is thrilled with getting the rail again.

cakes44 · #4 03-28-2013, 06:52 AM

That's a lot of recognizable names in the Appleton for only $100,000.

lemoncrush · #5 03-28-2013, 07:43 AM

GP has a 13-race card Saturday, and i haven't found any confirmation on what races will make up the late pk 4 and pk 5.

If anyone knows, please pass along.

Tough envisioning a scenario where he wins this race...but he is the Gulfstream magician.

She's good. I think this is an almost impossible spot off the layoff. I would want at least 8-1 vs the other big 3 in here.

What race has she run that makes her competitive?

She will be, and should be, a LOT higher than 4:1.

Well, she did beat Emollient with a trip first out and she did come close to beating My Happy Face, who was beaten a head by Dreaming of Julia.

Obviously her 2-year-old form isn't going to win this, but doesn't she have every right to step forward a ton at three just like these other fillies have?

She always struck me as a horse who needed some time come into her own and obviously she's gotten that.

I hope you're right about her being a lot higher than 4-1. Winning first off the bench at 9f against this decent field will be no easy task, but if I can get 6-1+ on her jumping up, I'm taking it.

Revidere · #13 03-29-2013, 08:28 PM

Always glad to see Capt. Candyman Can run. Hope he runs better than his last.

Calzone Lord · #14 03-29-2013, 10:39 PM

I don't like Orb at all in the Florida Derby. No knock on the other two favorites.

Well, no knock on them until the Kentucky Derby anyway.

She battled 3 wide in the Temtped thru very fast splits but couldn't get by a determined winner while 6 clear of the show horse. Yes, it was only a 4 horse field, but it was also her 2nd lifetime start and i say she performed very well.
I know - that was way back in Nov - but her barn is having a nice lil meet & can win off the bench.
What really intrigued me is her early pace (she can sit all over Live Lively) and her worktab, which seems like it's directed towards her getting a distance of ground. Two easy 6f works, a 1m work and a nice 5f bullet on Mar 23. I think Rosie will opt to stalk.
Clearly, a prep race woulda been nice. She's not the soundest gal around with two layoff lines in two lifetime starts, but she's a brawler (see her chart comments).
Faces two classy gals in LL and DOJ, both of whom can move forward 2nd off the shelf.
Still, she gets in light at 116lbs, has very good speed, and can be involved for a long way at hopefully 6-1 or better.

Calzone Lord · #16 03-30-2013, 05:13 PM

Pletcher horses who are making their 2nd start today since the Gulfstream Park meet started:

Gulfstream Race #2: Travelin Man (1st by 4 lengths at 2/1)

Gulfstream Race #8: Dreaming of Julia (1st by 21.75 lengths at 8/5)

Fair Grounds Race #7: Unlimited Budget (1st, beat Flashy Grey by 1.75 lengths)

3-for-3 and winning by a combined 27.5 lengths.

Yeah ... I'm not betting against Shanghai Bobby today. He's 5/2 with 5 minutes to post right now. I'm surprised he isn't getting pounded.

Calzone Lord · #17 03-30-2013, 05:33 PM

Orb got the job done in the Florida Derby. Shanghai Bobby simply couldn't rate and was very rank.

Normally, you'd say it was a comically terrible ride...but this was a final prep race, so the tactical buffoonery was expected and can be excused. Derby winners are usually one-time speed horses who thrive when attempting rating tactics.

I've not been a fan of Orb at all, but he is a better horse than I had thought.

Still, his final time was 11 lengths slower than Dreaming Of Julia freakish win at the same distance earlier today.

Do you really want a horse in the Kentucky Derby who just ran 11 lengths slower than a filly? I don't. At least not for 1st or 2nd. He has the right style to run 3rd or 4th if he gets pace.

The BSF will be closer then the raw data would suggest

No it won't, Freddy.

There doesn't appear to be any reason to split it...

Dreaming of Julia will get a figure about 17 points faster than Orb.

However, we both know she's not a likely candidate to repeat it as she leaves Pletcher's Playground and ships to a place he struggled at last year, Churchill Downs.

I would think when they get thru doing the math and mad science the fig for Orb will be 9 to 11 pts lower then the Pletcherized Filly.. You think the Orb race is a 97 and 114 for the filly? No chance
