2/6 (TAM): Sam F. Davis, Endeavour, Tampa Bay (G3's), Suncoast
 

Ricochet should get a whale of a set up in the Sam Davis if good enough. should be a nice price to boot.

I’m sure the Pletcher horse will get hammered here which I hope. Really looking forward to seeing Candy Man Rocket stretch out. Horse is fast and will have my money in this one. Ricochet is interesting here too Dan. Nice exacta horse for sure.

Hi Tom - link is broken, but I'm seeing a ton of speed inside CMR with not a lot of time to get position going into the first turn. He or anyone else that can take this on the front is going to be pulling off a massive accomplishment.

Not saying he won't win (he's def on my ticket) but speed hung wide going 2 turns for the first time in a G3 is a lot to ask for.

I think this is wide open (realistically 8 or 9 of these wouldn't shock me), and I've seen enough SFD's to know that prices are no surprise (King Gullimero most recently).

Hidden Stash, Known Agenda, Ricochet, and CMR for me.

The 6:1 ML on Known Agenda is hilarious. He will likely be a strong favorite and is much the horse to beat.

I guess his under the radar trainer confused them

I’ll be surprised if Smiley Sobotka isn’t in the exacta and have him as the horse to beat

I'll take Known Agenda over Smiley Sobotka and the loser has to agree with Alabama Stakes that Songbird really won the Distaff.

I’d hate to pile on someone who’s job I’d probably screw up worse, but man it’s bad. The other day there was a 15-1 the went off at 9-5 and won by daylight.

:D

You got it

I agree, but some of these people make it so hard on themselves. Making Known Agenda 6:1, when the absolute most he can be is 5:2, creates havoc for the rest of your line, especially in a 12 horse field. You've lost and the battle hasn't even started.

I mean, it's not making Caddo River the second choice dopey, but it's not too clever. Lines are hard enough, get the easy part right.

Wasn’t Hidden Stash more impressive earlier that day ? Passed 5 hosses on that slow pace in his race.

You’ve always been hung up on a horse passing others. In this case, it would behoove you to actually watch the race. He certainly didn’t pass 5 horses.

Actually he did and despite being a mile wide on the first turn he had the fortitude and energy to fight on down the stretch for the win . It wasn’t a ground saving trip of leading then giving up the lead then leading , then being clear and still not being able to hold on.

Any thoughts on Lucky Law in the Sam Davis?

He was 3rd three furlongs into the race. Watch it again with your eyes open.

Hard to say Mike. While horse should be better on dirt I think this is a very tough spot for the horse.

It’s not every day you see a hoss feel the sting of the whip around half way through a 9 furlong race, though he continued on well in the stretch to only get beat 9....

I figured you’d respond to the Songbird post. I just didn’t think it’d be almost 2 days later.

You okay?

The local forecast changed a bit. The rain was supposed to start tonight. I hope they stay on the turf.

Just remembering Songbird drowning them in the CCA oaks And prestigious Alabama Stakes at Saratoga that summer.

Only horse the last 20 years more overrated than her was Zenyatta.

Ironically enough, two of your favorites.

Overrated?
15 starts... under the wire first in 14 of them with a second because money Mike didn’t take her out to see Forever Unbridled.
You’re all wet there
Zenyatta 20 starts 19 wins and just got beat in the other. Passed every hoss she ran against except Blame.
Again, you are all wet again

Going with Candy Man Rocket.

tri box Lucky Law/Candy Man Rocket/Known Agenda

For some odd reason, I'd include the 4 and 8 in the picture.

You must’ve been a lawyer before you retired. The way you present your arguments are always flawless.

Good call

Thank you.

Fourth dam is the great foundation mare Courtly Dee who also had descendant Campaign run dead last in the Thunder Road at Santa Anita today.

The first two home in the Withers hailed from Phipps female lines.

Medaglia d'Oro sired 3 winners in the span of an hour between Santa Anita and Aqueduct; 2 of those won graded stakes.

13.3 million in handle yesterday. Solid card, great racing...Awesome to be able to be trackside watching live racing. Congrats to all who hit, solid effort by Candy Man Rocket - can't wait to see him in the TB Derby
