Sacred City

7-2 ML and Ponce up does not make for an attractive bet. May drift up as Dubliner will surely take the most action.

Sacred City (Belmont Park) - Belmont - October - N/A

09/28/2007 - Ran 4th. Coa stated "I had alot of trouble in the beginning and was bumped numerious times through out the race, and in the lane I had no where to run." Coa also stated "the distance and everything about him was perfect and next time we will get it done".

JUST AN FYI

Horse runs tomorrow in the 7th. Coa stays and m/l 5-1.

Horse runs on 10/17 not 10/16 but i will bet this horse as he has outside post and can hopefully stay out of trouble.

Made his '08 debut yesterday at the Big A.

He did have excuses, I guess as he apparently was very nervous in the paddock before the race and washed out.

On top of that during the race he was was in a lot of trouble early on in the race having to check and or steady several times and as if that wasn't enough he lost a shoe during the race.

I'm definitely looking for a better performance next time out.

Maybe one of these days, this guy will put it together. I'm taking his running line comments with a grain of salt (haven't watch any replays personally), but if they are accurate and you are to believe them, he has certianly had some trouble trips. Here they are, after his debut:

4/28/08 1 1/16th turf - steadied repeatedly

12/1/07 1 mile 70 Inner Dirt - Had no rally ( I can toss this effort)

10/17/07 1 1/16th turf - chased 3 wide, tired

9/27/07 1 1/8th turf - roughed up start

9/13/07 1 1/16th turf - altered course stretch

8/19/07 1 1/16th turf - steadied along early

8/10/07 1 1/16th OFF turf - inside trip, no rally



Seems with a little better luck, he may pop at a big price.
