This scratch really sucks.
I liked Nobiz to win it even if the Frankel horse was in, but with that one scratched, Nobiz becomes extremely obvious, because now he shouldn't have any problem making the early lead at a comfortable pace. He will probably be sent off at odds-on. No value in the race now at all.

I would prefer there to be a minimum of 8 entries for the graded stakes. I know that would be a very tough job. (take a real professional to do that :D ).
5 and 6 horse fields and we get a scratch or 2 and :eek:

Going with Helsinki and Rondo.

Don't ask why. :D

High Finance wins, Awesome Twist ("from out of the clouds") 2nd, Commentator 3rd.

Rondo looked good there for a while anyway.....

VERY impressive win by High Finance. Attended quick fractions and still won by nearly 3. West Point has really hit the lottery with him and Flashy recently..

Storm Cadet 07-04-2007 04:02 PM
Great splits...43/108/121:eek: Knowing West Point..they'll try to get him into Breeders Cup Sprint now! Not a bad payday either $120,000 for owners. Not a bad 4th of July party. I know they are popping the bubbly in the clubhouse bar right now!:)

High Finance (Talk Is Money) comes in red hot and wins. Recently posted one of the years highest beyers at 113.

Storm Cadet 07-04-2007 04:14 PM
Wait till you see his pace call and final figures on the different Beyers, TG, Rags, et al.:eek: on todays race!

May as well go with NBSB over the 2 long shots.

AGS looked solid by 5L over NBSB, Sighseek.

Perhaps there will someday be a stakes race that I analyze in writing on this site that I actually get right.
When that time will come, is anybody's guess.

Coach Pants 07-04-2007 05:43 PM
I figured NoBiz would go to the lead. Boy was I wrong. Sightseeing ran a dandy, eh?

He's pretty horrible. I don't consider NoBiz to be a world beater and he couldn't hang with him.

He seems like the type of horse who needs the perfect setup to have a chance. I've never liked him and felt the hype he was getting earlier this year was a little much.

Agree and with Johnny V taking AGS wide around BOTH turns. Imagine where AGS would be today with a Wood win and this?

Could be a good summer and fall of racing!

Rondo will take some money but he isn't good enough.
High Finance was a gift at that price. I was expecting 5/2.
