Indeed. 8-1 is more like it. I would slam her at 15-1, and I am tying her up with Stardom Bound every which way regardless.

She's actually my top choice in the race. Ran a monster race in her 2nd start in the Alcibiades, first around two turns obviously, much better than it looks on paper. I wanted to know what he was thinking in there.

Just looked at the pp's. Absolutely. No way she's near that on Friday.

Here's another vote for C.S. Silk. I'll hope for above 7-1 odds

Sad but true. No way am I betting a deep closer at 8/5. CS Silk suddenly looks a lot better

I'll tell you this about her, whoever worked with her when young did a great job. She relaxes very well for a young horse and when asked, she goes. Her speed is natural, not run off type crap.....I was real impressed with her last time at AP.

My only concern is the work pattern, I don't like seeing a gap after a win like that, means, it smoked her. She is very competitive on the sheets.

The Juvy colts is way upside down if you ask me. Bittel Road, who will be favored, will be on none of my tickets.

Just don't want you to mush one of my biggest plays of the weekend. . . I'll be using her and Stardom Bound in my PK3s. . . I don't understand the appeal of CS Silk.

I really dont get C S Silk myself, i am kinda just tossing her in because of all the hype she's getting around here, i might actually stay away from her.

I am a huge fan of her, not a single though.

I stopped handicapping last night. I'm going to play pg1985's picks. If I lose then I'm going to drive to the OTB ( his backyard) and beat the everliving f.uck out of him and his dad.
