sit 3-6, get first run on the leaders, jv opens him up, closers cant get to him
He's a turf horse - bred primarily for turf and all of his good races have been on some form of turf. I know, I know. . . his race on dirt was his debut so it may not be indicative of his true ability on dirt. But, I'm not willing to bank on a Giant's Causeway taking to dirt when he's unproven on it. He's also not very fast (figs may not be as accurate because they were on turf/poly). Even if he did run as well on dirt as he does on grass/rubber there are a bunch of horses that have proven to be much better than him. His odds will be vastly overlaid because he's a Pletcher/Johnny V. and because he got 2nd in a G1 on a surface that is nothing like the one at CD.

I don't know what to say about this reference of Cowboy Cal to Cowtown Cat.

Don't you think Cowboy Cal could do some damage in the turf, where he belongs? Cowtown Cat hasn't won a race since I don't think, couldn't even win at Morty Downs
The fact that speed did well does not a bias make.

On turf, sure Cowboy Cal could make some noise.

Not only is he sired by Giant's Causeway....

But he is very closely related to Commontator in his tail-female family.

PG's favorite stallion and his favorite active race horse!
lol yes
you know it.

You are right, it wasn't a bias per say, but speed was alot better then normal yesterday.

They still have a real bad rail problem there, first three paths are absolutely quicksand...

It's not what they did, it's what their progeny do.

You doing what you do makes no sense to everyone, yet we don't try to figure it out.

Wasn't GC a Euro? Think that's what he means. Everyone in America was rooting for Tiznow.

It was sarcasm. I was trying to show PG that his sarcasm doesn't really shine through on a message board. People tend to take what you write for what it is.

It was heartbreaking for me too. I was on Lemon Drop Kid. That was the lone downer on my best personal day at a racetrack..


Sarcastic, eh? Your humor is too sophisticated..
