Haynesfield

[randallscott35]

Not in my plans. There is enough speed signed on to discount IMO.

Even though he doesn't need the lead? Are you chucking Quality Road too?

Chucking is strong. Not using highly

I think Haynesfield may end up being the horse a lot of people regret dismissing so quickly. I know he had it easy last time, but he still did it like a very good horse and he doesn't need the lead. I wouldn't just automatically toss the horse who won the JCGC by open lengths without at least thinking about it for a while.

You really think Quality Road can get 10 furlongs?

You're not following. Randall's logic for pitching Haynesfield was the pace. So I asked if he was tossing Quality Road too, since people are generally higher on him and he's tactically similar. I prefer Haynesfield to Quality Road.

I'm glad I read this thread. I'm looking at Haynesfield now and starting to really like him. He had an excuse two-back when he broke through the gate, and he's getting the exact same spacing Curlin got when he won and ran arguably the best race of his life at Monmouth - race in early August, two months off and then JCGC to BC.

its the same machine they strapped Drago to in Rocky III
the question is who is Rocky in this race??

It depends on whether you think Quality Road needs the lead. I don't think he does.

He's certainly done far less rating in two-turn races than Haynesfield has.

Ok, I get it now. I am only using two horses in that race, Lookin at Lucky and Blame, but it isn't one of my preferred betting races so I will be light within the race unless the day is going really really well.

Lucky is very dangerous in this race. He can steal this off Blame and Zenyatta

look at the performance figures at chef-de-race.com
the top four are fairly evenly matched
