Too bad Cannon Shell doesnt have a charge in the race.. It could be a "Juice Off" lol

[Gander]

Formidable could be tough in this spot. Hes a completely different horse at Gulfstream and comes out of a very key race in the Fall Highweight. This is a major class drop providing that Desert Key needs a race to get his sea legs.

Pretty much what I wrote,

Too bad Desert Key scratched.

[Gander]

Thanks for the info. Yuck, now Formidable will be a short price.

[hockey2315]

I think his form is a little too dirtied to be TOO, short. But he certainly won't be 8-1. It'll be interesting to see how the odds go in there.

I know, I wont take too short but he is trained by Jerkens, coming out of a very key race and absolutely loves Gulfstream. Now with Desert Key out, doesnt he also attract those people who are partial to frontrunners? I'm guessing he goes postward no higher than 3/1-7/2.

[Gander]

We'll see who bets what. In the mean time I am going to make a pretty decent size win/place bet on the 1 entry at Aqueduct in the 5th race.
I think they can run 1-2 in here, in which case the place price may be as good as the win.
