Printed my PP's the other day... Love hearing that!

Steve, what did Lopresti say about Gunforhome? Thought she was interesting at a bit of a price.

I am against Flower Mart personally, think with Leparoux up she will be taken back and left with too much to do against a pace that looks tepid to me.

He said she was a dog and was hurt late last year.. They are looking to get her in to run second in a overnight stake is Indiana so she has some black type when they off her in the Nov sale..lol

Actually that is only half true.. The good half is she is healthy the bad half is they dont think much of her(as a race horse) if they are pointing for cheap stake at Scioto Downs lol

He hadn't seen the field but was worried entering that the group would be too rich for her. She can contend with any progress but needs real improvement to win it appears. I think she's 5th best in the pecking order. First time through I liked North by Northlite but then had to acquiesce to Prissy, Cry War Eagle & Flower Mart...

Good race and fun sequence. Headed there shortly after a big show. BOL today!

Thanks, Steve! That will help my ticket. I think Prissy is the horse to beat there and I have North by Northlite as an A as well. May try to get through that with just the two of them. I like Arch of Titus in the last at a price as well, could go right down the road. I am not fully sold on the entry there at what will likely be an underlayed price.

Competitive race to begin the p5, fwiw I also had the same top 4 horses. (B) horses include 2-3-8

good luck Steve

Great call Steve. Old time trainer using the old time training methods. Bring home all the multis now.

We have been discussing how outrageous that ride on the 4 was in the last in the selections thread. Totally mind boggling, sure appeared that he misjudged the line. But that wasn't the only problem with that ride.

No kidding. Based on exacta will pays that was about a 4x multiplier mistake.

dino, tabs, DJARUM, Nick, ADJMK, Jim, Dan, Dave..

Thanks a lot guys.. The Shug came to the plate looking like the proverbial beach ball. Delighted it worked out and disappointed not to figure out the Bewitch.

And Dan, glad to help with Arch of Titus in the Hi-5. I thought getting Impetuous Power was key to the thing too having just run and it being Dorochenko.
