Wow.

St. Trinians will now win the Pacific Classic in an open gallop.

Gio Ponti is likely for that spot. Clement said it on CapitalOtb this past Saturday morning.

I'd take St. Trinians over Gio Ponti.

I think I agree with you, I was just letting you know. If they dont change there minds now and run Z in the Pacific Classic, I really wont care anymore, it would be totally crazy not to let her beat up on Awesome Gem and Gio Ponti.

Can't wait for those 2 to hook up going 10F.

27 minutes to post at PID. Let's get some LIVE play going.

Why? Do you actually believe Raip Trip is even competition? Quality Road is truly the highest mountain, maybe Dick can run them as an entry, Rail Trip and I Want Revenge, Rail Trip being the rabbit for the big horse.

Considering St. Trinians is a desperate lunge away from being the first Zenyatta slayer, it'd be unlikely that you'd get much of a price on her anywhere in Southern California in any race.

That being said, I'm pretty sure Gio Ponti would beat her going 10 furlongs at Del Mar.

I have no idea how Rail Trip will run on dirt. Nor do I really think that much of him, though I know his was poorly ridden in a few of his races. It still needs to be proven to me that QR can get 10F against a 'competitive' field. He needs to do a lot more going 10F, in terms of how he runs, then he does at a shorter distance and I think he's vulnerable to a good horse.

It's interesting that the horse once thought to be a MILER is now 'accepted' as being able to get 10F, RT, and the horse that has yet to prove it can get 10F is now 'accepted' as being able to do so.

I'm getting ready to go to the track now.

Every person I run into today .. I'm going to ask them about the Comptroller thing and find out how they feel about NY Racing politics. Should be a whole lot of peace and quiet for me tonight.
