SA - Race 8...Somethinaboutbetty

[coltsfan]

Areyoutalkintome is my play here. Fresh horse. May have 3 up front early. Bushwacker, Roi, and Proud Tower. Looking for Areyoutalkintome to sit right off here. Hopefully get 4/1 or 5/1. Harvard Avenue scares me.

I'm going to pound Proud tower Too. He's too good for these.

I'm taking my shot on Roi. Hopefully his speed can hold up for 5.5 furlongs.

I think you really need to bet against horses like Proud Tower Too in this spot. If I thought he was too good for these, I would probably skip the race.
I may not bet this race because I am having trouble deciding between a couple of these. If I dont bet it, I will root for Proud Tower Too. Hes a very neat horse.

I think the odds will end up like this:

Proud Tower Too 9/5
Harvard Avenue 5/2
Areyoutalkingtome 7/2
Roi Charmant 6/1
Bushwacker 10/1
Premium Saltine 15/1
Red Warrior 15/1

Very well could be too good for these. But..... The pace will be super hot. He hasn't ran since March. If he get's out like I think, I don't see him holding up. Didn't see the race, so I may be way off here, but Areyou beat him in the CalCup last year and ran 3rd to him race after. I see Proud at 8/5 or lower. You give me 4 or 5/1 on Areyou, then I'm taking that. I'm afraid Harvard may just get both of them.

I dont see Proud Tower Too making the lead in here. For some reason I think Bushwacker gets it. Roi Charmant is fast too and he will be there.

Hot pace, I agree. I'd have to bet a closer in here.

Hot pace but a 5.5 furlong race at Santa Anita isn't a great spot for a closer. Bushwhacker is going to have to go faster early than he ever has if he is going to get ahead of Roi or even PTT.

Hate to tell you guys that on Santa Anita's oval ( and alot of other tracks) when the good horses run 5 1/2 furlongs the finisher from off the pace wins and at 7f they steal it on the lead. Proud Tower will not make the lead till the last furlong.

I think you can toss Bushwacker. I bet him

He should be the first to swallow his tongue

I'm worried about the Harvard horse too
