Brock is taking money at 3-1, but none of the other firsters are; Stay Thirsty is even money with 7 minutes to post

Why not? Just another step towards every horse in the country being in one of four different barns.

Another example of why trying to 'read' workouts is useless: RudyRod's $27 winner Saltamontes in today's 2nd race at Saratoga. This filly had all of THREE printed works, a slow 4f breeze 7/21 at AQU, a middling 4f breeze 8/2 at SAR and a faster 5f gate breeze 8/12 at SAR. Based on what you saw in the works, the horse was a total pitch, but Rudy the Magic Man finds yet another way to put one over in NY.

I just watched this replay before looking at the PP's. I figured the horse had made one or two starts before being transferred to Rudy, but was surprised to see she was a FTS with 3 published works. Face it...Rudy's genius knows no boundaries.

Great NY testing.

Obviously I don't know how good the race will turn out to be, but I'm certainly happy with Bernardini's 5th winner. The time was a lot slower than Bulldogger's, but I don't need to see a 2 year old by Bernardini running that fast. He's speedy - not sure how far he'd want to go, but we'll find out.

I can't wait to bet against this horse next time...he practically crawled on the lead and beat a bunch of horses who are going to be bet againsts next time out. A McPeek no hoper who was 31-1 was 2nd in this group. Hell, 15K NW2L Filly and Mare Claimers set a quicker pace than him...I think this ends up being a big time negative key race.

I played a whacky tri and was sick of my bad ticket structure
11/5,8,9/all/... Anyway the point is, I think the 8 ran well. I also think the 9 will be ok.

That filly claiming race was at 6 1/2 furlongs though and you know the times are screwy at that distance at Saratoga. Seems like the track got slow as the day went on.

I think there are going to be a few next out winners out of the race. Orsonian ran well with some trouble. Was slammed at the start then rank early as he seemed to not like dirt in his face. When he finally got running he closed well and while he might not have beaten the winner, he was probably second best. He's going to win next out.

Magnet Cove got hit pretty hard on both sides coming out of the gate and flew home. Should be dangerous going two turns next time. Brock ran too bad to be true. Fair Whit battled, at least a little down the lane and seeing an improved run out of him next time should be expected. The same could be said for Eltheeb who ran like a horse that wants to go farther.

Can you please use numbers, so I dont have to go back and check out who your talking about. Numbers would be easier, already in mind from seeing the race 4x.

[hockey2315]

Dude just go to the first page of this thread. The 5 is Orsonian - I agree w/ Hoss about him.

[Dahoss]

If you saw the race 4x, then I imagine you saw everything that I'm talking about already.
