How about PATHETIC

The Moother Goose is really sad - even though the quality of the field is probably better than the Suburban, at least that race has 8 horses. . .

Im still debating if it's sad or funny. Why wouldnt more trainers take a shot for a pecentage of the purse?? Never understood that. Coming in 3rd or 4th in the MG would be equal to winning an allowance race, right?

Proud Spell can win the 8th and come back to win the 9th.... this edition of the Surburban is the most pathetic Grade I historic race ever!

Good point. The idea that one of those nags is going to be a Grade I winner makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth. At the same time, I thought the Mother Goose would have a fuller field too. I'm a fan of both Proud Spell and Music Note, but jeez, four horses?

they should just put her in the 9th race and win the bigger of the 2 purses.

You could have 100 horses in the race. When A.P. Arrow is the class of a Grade 1 field, PATHETIC is only a starting point.

I'm far more concerned with having a good betting race. . .

4 horse field

Even Curlin drew 9 others in the Foster.

Glad I didn't make plans to go to Belmont this weekend. Dreadful.

HOW About some picks ?
goose is tough... the top 2 are both special, but if music note takes crazy money, i will go with proud spell.

frost giant, harlington and merchant marine in the suburban

JCS is right, Tiago could have shipped in to NY and crushed these bums. The older division is shameful right now!!

I agree with you on Merchant Marine, but probably not the other two.

Merchant Marine / AP Arrow.

Linny · #16 06-26-2008, 10:13 PM

When horses are scratched from NW3x races for G1's and it looks like they may have a shot, it's a BAD bunch.

its a race def. worth taking a stab in, i will go 3 deep in pick 4, and it will be the 3 i mentioned above...
the giant shoud like the distance and will be on the lead, and harlington should be strong second back
