The Hanshin Cup looks like a fun betting race!

Love Mister Marti Gras and Nikki's Sandcastle and hope they both do well (have not yet looked at pp's though).

Totally agree best betting races in a couple months

I usually like to find a nice price but in the 9th Hanshin
it is hard to look past the #4 Hogy
Take some bombs underneath 3, 11, 12, 14
Good luck

I'm obviously not playing, but Pataky Kid looks like an interesting long shot to include.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Mr. D in the winner's circle giving himself the trophy.

Also if a certain horse wins the 4rth you'll see some familiar faces in the win pic.

Didn't run his race. One thing I don't understand is this - According to jockey Chris Emigh, aboard 8-5 favorite Hogy in the one-mile test, multiple circumstances combined to put his mount at a disadvantage.

"He lost his tongue tie going to the gate; that didn't help," Emigh said. "Then he got into a pinch where he was trapped between horses on the outside; he doesn't like that. He likes to have a clear run on the outside, but he got squeezed out there, I had to check a little, and it was all over."

So (2) races before they held up the race for 10 minutes while the horse got his shoe fixed. Why wouldn't he say something about the tongue tie?
Couldn't they have fixed that?
