The TC or a TC start?

As much as the horse doesn't look like Forrest Camp, there is no way anyone thought he was getting a mile and a half on his best day...

That said, the Kentucky Derby was certainly a well documented goal prior to the equipment malfunction in the Whirlaway... I don't know how anyone can take anything away from that - good or bad - so a strong effort in this spot would not necessarily discount a shot at the a TC race, namely the Preakness.

In fact a Whithers / Preakness path is fairly sensible.

I think NYRA truly misses Ernie P he could be always be counted on to add numbers.

Pathetic, but very very true.

No, you shouldn't support crap cards.

No, there are not too many tracks closing--more need to close. The typically American (and idiotic) idea that more=better is so laughably and obviously wrong when applied to horse racing, it is hard to imagine anyone believes it.

Trust me, I have more interest in the Wood than you: I've got a future book ticket from November on Esky (and Jackson Bend, for that matter--my other one was Buddy's Saint). So, I'll watch the race on TV, and not subsidized a gruesome card like this. If Aqueduct fails someday, then it does. Why should it be immune to the free market? The "great" horses will race regardless.

IMO this is the type of pick 4 you try to hit for $10-20 bucks and hope it pays over $100....I would feel confident with a 1-3-1-2 as a main... Then a bunch of back up's.

I guessing you are going to get alot of bets like that. So if a couple outsiders win then the payout maybe somewhat decent.

I wouldn't bet it.
