Aqu 1st

Also, if the Gravesend is NOT won from off the pace with all that speed in there, I'd be shocked.

Win or lose, Bishop Court Hill is the speed of the speed.

The fourth winner wasn't carrying me on her back this week. I believe the Pick-4 with her was just over $2900 last time she ran. I didn't need any of that.

I think my inital impression was wrong, the rail appears to be the place to be. I liked the 12 a little bit, too bad she got dumped at the start.

A not so crazy bomb for the 5th: the 3, who has absolutely zero early speed but should be closer to the pace here by default with most of these possessing the same trait. Hopefully Norby finds the rail and stays there.

With regards to the first race winner, I had the following "early speed" numbers:

2  Mama Theresa           4-1 EP  63
1  Wisdom and Luck        5-1 EP  68
3  Charming Jill         12-1 PS  57
4  Judy Liner S.         15-1 S   61
5  Quiet Rendition       10-1 S   62
6  Miss L Woods          15-1 PS  49
7  Holy Kryptonite        9-2 P   61
8  Precise Lady           8-1 P   66
9  Two Turn Halo          8-1 P   78
10 Clever Freud          10-1 E   65
11 Point Me to It        12-1 EP  56
12 Chequ'er Alibi        30-1 PS  64

That 10 point advantage for the winner is about 3 lengths at the 1/2 mile call. I wouldn't call this a huge form reversal, just catching a field the horse could beat.

in the 6th the 4 figures to get the lead and the rail under JV. I'll bite.

I'd love to play the 9 at 14-1 (debut was better than it looked, made a nice move on the turn on the outside) but I don't think she can get it done with the post draw and the track condition.

Oracle,I remember very well when this guy's father died.It was like the night before the Spring Aqu Meet started last year.So,this guy wasn't around to saddle etc. his own horses.You have no idea the bloodbath that took place in that showdown contest the 1st 3 days of that meet.People were getting blown out of that contest(myself included) because of using this guy's horses when he wasn't around.I think I had 10 tickets to start that contest,and only had 2 left after the 1st 3 days of the meet.Those were some pretty good horses that were running off the board.

Rapid Rickey in the 7th has a chance to wire these...

5/1,2,6,9

Scuds,
It was obviously the product of a souped up track, and whenever a route horse cutting back to sprints makes an easy lead, they are very tough to beat. Those weren't exactly great horses.
I didn't bet a quarter on the race, so I really and truly didn't care.
My point in starting the thread was that "someone" might run his mouth and start ranting instead of getting the point I was making.
My point was that big time form reversals happen quite often, Yet only get noticed and fingers pointed at juice when its certain guys.
