Casino Drive has proven he is good enough to compete with this year's top horses because there aren't any top horses with the exception of 5 or 6 of them. By your reasoning we should only have a 6 horse field for the BCC.

You could make the argument that Casino Drive is the 3rd best 3yr old in america, and it is not exactly a stretch.

Atleast Casino Drive has done something to make one believe he has the talent to compete at this level, because other than Big Brown and Colonel John there is not another 3yr old that belongs.

you could make the argument that CD is one of the best. you could also make the argument that he isn't. my contention is that two starts isn't much to bolster the argument that he belongs, while proven runners with more hardware in the trophy case belong ahead of a perceived talent.
i would think there are euros, asian horses, older horses, and other threee year olds who belong ahead of a horse having only made two starts. i would think all those would add up to more than six. i'd think you'd find more than six on the west coast alone who belong ahead of a two time starter/winner.

I put $20 win on Informed just to have someone to root for. Nothing better than rooting for a former claimer now in the great american O'neill's barn. Go USA!!

21K on CD to show (pool not my personal wager)

sensational score is my pick and is around 5-1

relatively decent pk3 will-pays on informed and sensational score $90?



play Sensational Score to win and show?

thanks for the image, lol

Nice horse - Trevor said he was never really asked. He's talented, no doubt, but I'm very nervous about him being asked to do way too much in a couple of weeks

I guess that tap with the whip and VE riding him the last part was an illusion. I have no idea what this race will or wont do for this horse in 2 weeks. I suppose it was about what they were expecting.

[Bobby Fischer]

broke alertly. didn't show a ton of early foot, but he settled right away.

Made headway/Came to even terms approaching the far turn.




Showed a response in the stretch with hand urging.



galloped out well.


looked like a good animal from post parade to photo.


go bananas

Nice win over drek, but if this is what they consider an orgasmic performance, they need a road map and a compass to their libidos and a lot of Viagra ...

I don't get it. The horse is a nice horse and he runs a nice race; no one is saying he's going to win the Classic. Why do you have a problem if people think he ran well today...? Again, I don't see anyone going over the top with this. I'm not trying to be defensive - I just don't get the antagonism towards this horse.

and i don't get why you're so concerned about my opinion, or why you get so defensive-or think lack of enthusiasm equates antagonism? yay, he won an optional claimer.
and i do believe i've seen some posts on here in day's past saying this horse would have a say in the classic. hilarious.

Hey! I resemble that comment.

[letswastemoney]

He has good tactical speed. He's going to sit right off the leaders and if it's a fast pace, he'll get first run on them.
