Do you realize how many cheap pick four combinations we can come up with? Any could win.

I have a wacky notion... Wait until they draw the Commonwealth and Instant Racing fields and THEN start structuring tickets. And singling Elysium Fields, if he runs, 2 weeks after his boiler nearly exploded, would be highly risky. I'm stunned that Tagg is considering it in fact after Robin Smullen's comments post-FL Derby. A heat prostration episode like he had saps a horse. He worked yesterday with Big Truck, so you'll get some answers today. Barclay was a no-show yesterday on ATR so I'll try to get him today.

was it that bad for Elysium ? your right though, if i ever did single him it would be more with my heart, and not with my head.

Robin Smullen made it sound bad... 105 degree temp... 4 hours to cool out, etc..

Field of 12 entered

Per bloodhorse. (And again, these odds seem completely off to me). I can't imagine playing Pyro at even money in a race which is obviously a prep and his fist race on synthetic.
