i was at Belmont for that BC and you are right, there was a group of guys from England talking Shirroco up saying that being from Ger. should love the soft going. They made a ton on that race.

Mortimer, man you got me on that one. You got me good.

Relax. How often are weathermen wrong 48 or 72 hours out? IMO, weatherpeople tend to overpredict both rain and snow.

I think the reason you have not been getting a lot of straightforward responses to this question is the fact that it is somewhat diifficult to discuss how wet weather will affect 124 different horses competing in 11 different races in any sort of meaningful way in one thread.
My suggestion would be that it will affect the horses the same way it does on the other 364 days of the year, so whatever strategies you have used in the past for a wet course would probably be appropriate. Other than that, I would suggest looking at each individual race (and perhaps the threads devoted to those races) to see how an off-track or soft turf will affect each individual race, rather than the BC as a whole.

After Market can kiss his chances goodbye if the weather unfolds like those know nothing weather men are predicting. two words. John Bolaris. four more words. Storm of the Century. (which in fact was a light dusting, thus cost him his job in Philly. Had to move to NY to get away from that debacle.)

NoChanceToDance 10-24-2007 01:07 PM

All this talk of soft turf and a sloppy track..... is it really going to change that quickly? I can't see that happening.

Mortimer 10-24-2007 01:41 PM

It got moved,too.





I hope the author of this thread feels good about waxing my behind with his words.


Perhaps this eviction notice makes him realize who the real coal hod is.

You might find that life is a lot more fun if you take it a little less seriously...

Ok, ok.

Don't bet anything coming out of the 2 hole. It stinks.

Coach Pants 10-24-2007 02:09 PM

Unless it's Christina Olivares. She swears her 2 hole doesn't stink.

Mortimer 10-24-2007 02:11 PM
