Exactly what other reason would you have for why the horse "should really like an off track" then?

His Derby was not nearly as bad as anyone thinks... AT LEAST HE RAN.... It was premature but he made a huge MOVE. Im not even touting him, but for people to toss him cause of the Derby is A HUGE MISTAKE.
Maybe Im totally wrong, FatMan, Im sure can comment on his Derby trip.

I dont think he has any chance to even finish 3rd if all 7 go. But I would bet the horse if you really think you have an angle. Although I doubt very much the track will be anything close to sloppy. Do you like him at all if its fast?
Dont let what you read on a message board keep you from making a bet on a certain horse.

I think you have a much better chance of cashing a ticket on your guy Quality Road. He will at least be the prominent throughout the race.

A horse in here who I have never bet or been a fan of is very interesting and appealing to me- Charitable Man. For once, you are going to get a fair price on him and the goal all along was to win this race. From what I have heard he is doing better than ever and in my opinion at around 5/1, hes the best value in the race.

My pick 4 will mostly lean on QR, I will use WR a little, a backup very thin with the 1.
If you like CM, dont you have to like WR?

Yup, they pretty much ran the same race last time. Wouldnt be surprised if either wins. Like CM better though.

I love QR and have talked him up big time. If he does not get it done, I will really need the Warrior.

No, that would be Kent D's ride on Bella Attrice yesterday.

Mine That Bird would have loved this

He had a wonderful ride aboard Double Domino today too!

in fact there's also his great rides aboard Miss Keller & Convocation......really helped me out a lot!

Kent is the guy that always beats me. If i bet him he rides like a a dumbass, if i don't bet him he wins.

if any horse would deal with an off track, it would be summer bird-he's run well on them twice. pletcher absolutely doesn't want rain for his horse. i wouldn't be surprised if quality road scratched if the weather gets bad.

He'll be close to double that unless the barn (I'm assuming) goes psycho on him like they did last time.

Muddy or sloppy. Suppose to get really heavy rain overnight into tomorrow morning, tailing off by about 1-2 pm, but by then the damage will be done.

Thanks that really sucks for the big day at The Spa and all the people that look forward to this day. Saved up a couple hundred bucks to play some pick 4's but may back off if there are considerble scratches. I am no fan of playin the ponies when it gets crazy wet, shucks I ain't all that good when its dry

RockHardTen1985 · #40 08-28-2009, 05:37 PM

I am in Saratoga now and the rain has started, not hard yet though.
Working on tomorrow's card, what is likely for turf racing? Will they try keeping the 4th, 6th and 9th on? Im guessing the 1st has to come off, the forcast has been different all week, yesterday it was 80% chance of rain, now its 60%, but it has def. already started.
