He's a thousand to one, so there's no upside to knocking him, but what about him ( aside from Byk having a massive man-crush on the trainer ) makes him live?

I know you hate him BDW, but hes just a very honest horse. He will show up and run as hard as he can. He may not win but he will not run off the board, and youll get all he can give you

I don't hate him at all. I found it ridiculous when he was touted around here for the KY Derby, where he finished 11th ( and was never mentioned again until he showed up in this preposterous spot ), and now I find it even more ridiculous that he's being discussed seriously for THIS race.

Of course he will " run off the board " in this race. He can run the best race of his career and run 7th....or worse. So what. All that means is he's being misplaced. I guess if you're going to misplace your horses you might as well do it in a $5 million race. He is a decent horse, no doubt, but he's WAY over his head here.

He could run the best race of his career plus 8 lengths and wouldn't hit the board here.

AKA a Teuflesberg or Hard Spun type? I agree that he'll run as hard as he can, but I'm not sure running as hard as he can will equate to him finishing on the board here.

He wont run worse than 3rd. He had a trouble trip in the Derby, and had to be stopped on due to the fever leading up. Hes too honest a horse to discount in any field. Those who do play exotics and discount him will shake their head at the end of the day

Hes very live, they are all very live. There is noway for any of us to know how these horses will take to this surface. Id rather die on a horse giving me an effort at a long price than a middle priced horse that we do not know about

I'm an honest guy, and I give an honest effort. But Smooth Air in this field is like putting me in a mile race with track athletes. I'm honest, I'd give my best effort, but in the end I would finish dead last and out of breath. It's not a knock on the horse...the horse is mis placed that's all.

I'd take a thousand to 1 or even 50-1 and included on pc 3's.

I don't think I will be playing too much tomorrow. It's bad enough trying to figure East Coast vs West Coast .. now we have that and the different AW surfaces to contend with.

really put off with the greatest day in racing being turned into the 2 so-so days.

as far as the 5th race tomorrow, Gotta wonder how far C.S. Silk is going to go. Will she set the race up for Stardom Bound. What about Pursuit of Glory?

I still haven't settled on anyone, yet. But I'm still looking forward to being there Friday morning.

I have to admit it will be a guess on the "dirt" races. However, we still have all the great turf races to bet. When they change that to "Astro-turf," that's when I'll give up handicapping. (not really)

i think the two year old races offer the best chances at value. You have many horses that are very similar class and ability wise, but some are offering very nice ml odds. If you can find a horse or horses you like, you will be able to make some money.
