Astrology was very game, but I don't think this race produced any stars

I'd say that qualifies as getting ignored.

Oh, lol...........actually, I didn't mean it and you can see I had no idea what you were referring to. That said, I love a good pun, so I think I was inadvertently pretty clever.

Way too early to tell.

There's no Hopeful winner in there though - that's for sure.

If it wasn't up your ass I'd ask to borrow it.

I need it there and hope it stays longer. Payback for Deshawn Parker - who returned to action last night. I'm still a fan of DP!

What do you think about DP? Do you like em really tall and black?

Deeeeeeeeeshawn is the man.

Drugs, if I wasn't so much better looking than you, I'd swear we were seperated at birth.

It will happen eventually - but not with my money.

In terms of handicapping that race ... you have to let the board guide you. As it stands until the board starts to talk...

The 10 is best. The 4 is second best.

The 1 and 8 can't possibly win. They are debuters who certainly didn't do anything impressive undertack at the sales.

The 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9 all are very nicely bred horses with good connections - atleast one of them will probably end up being a very serious horse - but you want to bet against 5 of the 6 unless they are rabidly live on the board... the Indian Charlie debuter would be usable if he's just live instead of rabidly live.
I hope Vol Jack took a look at this post before he left for the Keeneland contest today. There were lots of prices to be had today... but $45 winners are ALWAYS useful in said format.

Great job, Doug.
