From the other thread..

For this race..

I like the angle about late developing 3 year olds who have improved recently continuing winning ways in this race and will try to beat Otave as well with Bear Now/Moon Catcher/Octave,Talking Bout Love and let the race hopefully bring value boxing combinations of these.

If Octave wins the race I lose if not I got a shot at decent payoffs.


I think it's pretty clear who I was playing to win. The dissapointment was with Octave taking second but hey....I'll take that price to win anytime. The moon catcher stuff was about the fig being the best at the distance.

why did jv take octave off the rail and run her in the 3 path the whole way around? when they turned for home the rail was Wide open and octave was in the 5-6 path. they ran most of the stretch in the middle of the track.

Usually, when a trainer hits a cold streak, you can figure out why. Maybe they had horses with a lot of conditions left and used them up. Claiming barns sometimes lose a bunch of horses in a short span. Maybe there has been a loss of a big owner or two. Sometimes there is illness in the barn.

In this case, nearly all the horses seem to have gone off form. These horses not only aren't winning, they aren't coming close to living up to the ability the previous PP lines show they have. There is no logical explanation to the slump. Perhaps Todd has lost his drive since lucking into finally winning a TC race.

As a bettor, this is a great thing. As a fan of the sport, it is also a good thing. Having too many horses in one barn isn't good for anyone other than the trainer himself. Mabye this will help change that, though somehow I doubt it.

/ = over....

Bear Now over Moon Catcher over Octave , Talking bout Love as in Tri. The only thing wrong here was the second place prediction.

Kind of Byk format....
