Agreed Grits. The early Maiden races are impossible. In the stakes, it seems I can only get down to about 4 per race......makes it hard to make $ that way.

I like the 8th race alot. #2 Our Dancing Babe @ 15-1 is improving and will have pace to close into, but like #5 Sealy Hill on top. And I guess you have to use #10 Silverinyourpocket as well but got a feeling she may get weery in the lane.


In any event, it should be a good day to watch racing. Good luck.

I like what you see Root, particularly Sealy Hill, but more than those two, I like Olivine. She's cutting back and it looks like she can be on it, or close, either one.

One has too look at EVERYTHING Helen Pitt's has in.

I cant figure out Olivine....she was 5 lengths clear the entire race last time out, and she wasnt going very fast. Her Maiden breaker was more impressive, and will prob need that style here. Looks like she is flexible in her running style.

I like Helen's horse in the Lanes End, hopefully Kent can have her relax and sit back a bit.

I keep seeing horses on the card that interest me, I look up Kent D. is on 'em. Kent ain't gonna win all these races, ain't gonna happen.

Have a little side bet going: Which Kend D. horse will get the mistimed move?

There's no telling, its a toss, but it'll happen. Hope not for Pitts sake. It ain't a lock though.

Please tell me Bullara is nowhere near the finish in this thing. Cost me so much money last year on a daily double that I don't even like thinking about it. Lost by a nose and refused to go by a horse.

Olivine would have to be a completely different horse on polytrack to be competitive....because her dirt form stinks. She took advantage of a huge inside speed bias and a very oddly run race....to say the least.

I'm not sure what you are saying here.....so you like her chances?


Kidding of course. Who do you like? Sealy if she is right will be tough.

I agree about Sealy Hill but she just looks way too obvious to me.

Discussed on the Panty Raid thread the lack of works for Sealy....I am sure she is "working" somewhere. Same J/T combo in the 9th and 10th, and in the 9th Skip Code doesnt have any published works for a month as well.......do you know if this is typical for Mark Casse?

Thank you, you know I'll listen to your points. You know the Inner's speed bias, I know. So are you going with Helen Pitts horse in this one too? You don't have to say, I'm sure you've been working on this stuff long enough.

In the Lane's End, Mark Casse and Will Farish,Jr. are back with another one. I had the exacta in that race last year, when Seaside Salute ran second, using him, going on Casse and Farish and poly. So, I may use Approval Rating, haven't looked at replays yet.

If I can get a decent price on Approval Rating i'm going to take it. I wish that spawn of satan didn't have two horses in the race. That corpse of a jackass ruins everything.

Last night at 12:30 I'm looking very interestingly at Approval Rating, I learn during the show that Steve has him on top. Oh my goodness!

This is the one that he and Andy are arguing pedigree and pps about.

I still like this horse. And Hard Spun has 2 nice works over the poly.
