Tres Barrachos, the Rodney Dangerfield of California racing

I thought for sure that the undefeated mare everyone raves about all the time would be in here!

Are those morning lines for real? No respect for Rail Trip or Tres Borrachos (1-2 in the Gold Cup) If I am not mistaken, didnt horses who also ran in the Gold Cup like Bullasbay romp next out? Didnt Global Hunter win a G1 next out? Didnt Informed and Mast Track finish 1-2 in the San Diego?

I too am surprised by how little respect Rail Trip has gotten off of his last. Supposedly he's 25-1 in the BC Classic futures too. I don't love him, but he's clearly the one proven over synthetic to be semi-decent.

i thought Einstein would be favored LOL

Ron Ellis winning the Classic...Please

I kind of like Parading. This is clearly a third surface horse. Shug has been ice cold since leaving Keeneland in the spring but this could be a surface that really suits Parading. I try him at 13 to 1

Parading is a total slug and deep closers have been struggggggling on this track.

I dont like Ron Ellis because his horses tend to get hurt way more than normal but make no mistake he can train, and he has the best horse, by a distance.

Parading's race at Keeneland wins this race easily. Rail trip woke up least race nicely. I won't no part of him at a short price.His ML is a joke he will be 9/5.

Yeah I guess he's okay, I don't know why but I have never been too high on him and if I were betting I would play against him today. Problem is C John will be bet down off one turf prep and the others throw in a big race once in a blue moon, trying to pinpoint which one would be like throwing a dart in this case.

Congrats Vic on Joel's win on Rendezvous in the Del Mar Derby @ 22-1. Hope you hammered him.

no, she's too dimensional to run here...or something like that.

what's misremembered chances here? evidently the track 'capper doesn't think too good, since he's at 12-1.
