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..

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.


1.Cool Coal Man, Kent Desormeaux, 4-1
2.Kentucky Bear, Jamie Theriot, 50-1
3.Cowboy Cal, John Velazquez, 15-1
4.Stevil, no rider, 30-1
5.Monba, Edgar Prado, 15-1
6.Big Truck, Eibar Coa, 6-1
7.Pyro, Shaun Bridgmohan, even money

Well, any chance I have at still having action on my first lifetime future wager all comes down to this guy running well enough to get in the gate in May.

Battaglia has made my Saturday much more interesting. Pyro at even money (and actually he probably isn't too far off with that) is a joke... there's a Dominican in here, just a matter of finding it...
