The undercard overall is very interesting. I could see myself going a bunch of different ways.. Anywhere from 0-3 singles.

I started looking at the PPs and these races aren't straightforward at all . . . Indian Blessing doesn't look like a single like I thought she was.

Would like to hear more from you guys on this one. I caught that big beast Stalingrad last out at 2nd choice, but this is another class. I am tossing BTN from the exacta.

Take in the good, I mean this guy has posted his picks in five races over Friday-Saturday and he hasn't mentioned any of the horses I like. It's perfect.

There are some absolutely fascinating allowance races on this card as well, in particular the 4th. You have the potential of Fidelio and Mobo, Corinthian's half brother in Vitruvius, the interesting Admirality on the turnback, the very good but hanging Forefathers, and a couple coming out of a race I've been watching very closely (4/20/08 KEE allowance). The only one I'm pretty sure that can't win is Unbridled Danger. A real brainbuster...

Why? Zaftig's last race was pretty big. I'm starting to not like Indian Blessing. Taking the blinkers off is an interesting move by Baffert - is he going to try to rate her? Good luck with that. . .


If you want an interesting jockey move - JJ choosing (assuming he chose) Strike the Deal over Pays to Dream seems odd. Maybe Pays to Dream's last really was a fluke - or maybe we can't trust the pinhead to tell us which horse is better.

Good luck with Shakis - he looks done to me.

i never said i like shakis...
i dont like him at all
maybe i got my numbers messed up... in the manhattan i like 4 horses.....
Stalingrad,Proudinsky,Strike a Deal , stream of gold.... those are the 4

zatfig did look fine, beating a bad field, and jv was not even on that day... but like i said i dont think it matters, indian blessing, to me is the best single on the card... short field... her class, her speed, i think she romps

I don't really trust him. . . The Pimlico race was HUGE but the grass that day was probably worse than its "good" rating and nobody else in the field fired. Bounce-believers (not me) could point to that too.

I just looked at his 2nd race at SAR. His 1st one was excellent and I wanted to see if he'd had a trouble trip. He wasn't really pinched back or steadied, to any meaningful degree. In fact, positionally, he got a perfect inside (draft) out trip. The shape of the race didn't work to his advantage, however. This guy can thus fire 2 good ones in a row.

In Fat Land, his last race was off the charts.

A case where I think others are better but I can't overlook that last race.

Then again, I still can't get over his 1st race back this year.

you make no sense... i dont care if the card is a week away... the pp's are out, and i already have most of the bets i will make race day....

here is my pick 4......


2/2,3,4,5,9/1,3,4,5,6,9,11/5

for 35 i think that ticket has gigantic potential.
