Default Ravel Returns

Runs in the 8th at Keeneland today. I hope he gets his ass kicked and finishes last.

Tough to take him at the current odds of 3-5, but he should romp. I wonder if the Clark at Churchill is what they are for or a race at the end of the year in CA.

Sure seems like the Strub Series would make a lot of sense since it looks like it is going to be complete and total garbage at this point.

Tiago is not garbage. I'm sure he will show up in one of those races.

He might show up in the last race. One horse in one race doesn't make for much of a series.

Looks like our boy is back in the Native Diver this weekend. Good luck, Ravel...

I was one race too soon. I loved the way he looked yesterday against stakes horses. Even horrible stakes horses. Ravel is garbage.

Default one man

one man's trash...

He didn't look so bad in the N.Diver IMO.

Those artificial stakes in California can be pretty wild. Those horses are pumped up and the dynamics and pedigree is a little different.
Every horse save Wanna Bummer was basically competive on paper.
I thought the race was entertaining and interesting, but it wasn't exactly a classic style race.

I am not saying Ravel did great. He didn't compete for the win, and he did get swallowed up turning for home as 7 horses lined up across the cushion track.

However, physically he looked like a nice horse all the way around. He finished willingly going from 7th to 4th in the stretch.

He still looks like a nice horse to me. I would love to see him run on dirt for the rest of his career. He looks like he gets 9 furlongs no problem, and has some talent. You can make some money on the east coast with that skill set.

No one wants Ravel at 1.2-1. No value.
