I also talk up the race to friends who are casual bettors(once a year Derby types, weekend gamblers on football games, etc.) as these people have little interest in betting on obscure races that are not on tv. It's also fun to watch these races with friends, as mainly this is a solitary hobby

Absolutely nothing wrong with a $2 action play because the race is on TV.

I don't believe PG/jcs was talking about an "action" play. He can correct me if I am wrong.

Signature Move is a decent horse that tends to be a little rank.With him and Black Jack in the race,it should get Bravo a top 2.I am not gunna lie.I have no confidence in Solis getting the horse out of trouble.He seems addicted to riding that rail behind horses,and waiting for the perfect trip(getting to the outside at the top of the stretch.)He needs the field to be a little stretched out for that.A slow pace could result in a close 3rd.Salute the Sarg was ready the other day.I fully expect the same connections to be ready with Signature Move.With Black Jack not running,I think Signature would of had a big shot in this race.Fact is he is a little rank,and wants to get the lead mid-race (like he did in Louisiana.)I think Black Jack will back out (after making others run quick in the middle,) and it should come down to a knifefight between Bravo and others (for the win.)Bravo has never had a nice pace to chase.Give it to him,and you'll be very surprised what he has to show you.
