No Hey Byrn....

Monba might grind out a 9th place finish in the Derby... if he gets a perfect trip.

At least Anak Nakel got the boot I guess.

That is surprising. Anyone know what is going on with Face the Cat since he's gone to Pletcher? He seems another potential strong horse in the "All Others" group.


Edit: To answer myself - looks like Face the Cat should surface in the Rebel.

i do not see much value on anything

I still like the #24 horse.

that is what you might call the morning line.
you might want to wait until people actually start betting to decide if you see any value or not.

How about Barclay Tagg and David Carroll with more (2 each) on this list than Todd Pletcher..

Yeah, but he has got a horrendous post.

Taking Asmussen and Pletcher over Asmussen and Zito in that Road to the Roses contest is going to ruin me in it.

Can't you switch like midway or something in this Road to Roses thing? Or was that TVG?

Not sure if you can.

His 3yo's are sinking like the titanic. Look at that list - the people who put it together believe Monba has his best chance.

Out of curiousity, which Pletcher killer did you like for this year's Derby that you took him over Nick?

Had to be Monba. Even Freddy was probably ashamed of you.

Yeah, based on his most recent performance I guess you were right about him.

How is it that Smooth Air and not Anak Nakel, is still in pool #2 ???

I liked Check It Twice the best of his...and really no one else that much.

Though - the game gives you points for wins and top 3 finishes in Gr 3 and ungraded 3yo stakes.

I thought Pletcher would outscore Zito because of that - in fact - that might not even happen.

The question I have is why is everyone in this thread spelling the colt's name in this manner?

Spell ? I don't even know what it means :confused:

Because I can't spell and Triple H still watches the WWF

Same here..... "and you'll never forget the name.........Gold Dust" :eek:

In fact, I hated Monba so much that I took Court Vision over him. I felt dirty having Court Vision as one of my ten horses - but I needed someone for the FOY...and CV could be counted on to score me a lot of nice 3rd and 4th place finishes there after.
