Win one, lose one. Win another, lose another. It would appear that Overanalyze purchased a one-way ticket to Inconsistentville. On the other hand, he just might be ready to pull off a Belmont Stakes surprise. Since his career debut on August 9, the Repole runner has a perfect win-every-other-start r...Read More

On May 23, Rail Trip worked 6F in 1.14 flat (6/7) at BHP.
1 - Nate's Mineshaft, 2 - Scatman, 3 - Mister Marti Grass, 4 - Seruni.
1 - Ausus, 2 - Ice Cream Silence, 3 - Hooh why, 4 - Absolute Crackers.
Lucayan for now..but ML Odds will be factor on bet
1 - Admiral Kitten, 2 - Fordubai, 3 - Brown Almight, 4 - Dorsett.
Based on dosage and adjusted 12F times, my top four would be: Revolutionary, Golden Soul, Orb Unlimited Budget. I'd throw Oxbow and Palice Malice in the mix, too.

  • jinlie01 · I'll be focusing on three horses and possibly narrowing that down to one or maybe two the most...Oxbow, Code West, and Overanalyze. I remember when I was a kid just starting to appreciate thoroughbred racing that dosage was mentioned all the time when discussing derby contenders. It seems that formula/theory is not as leaned upon since the 90's. · 25 minutes ago ·

Off at odds of 15-1, many were speechless when Oxbow won Preakness 138. What a fluke! What a horrible race! Why was it so horrible? Because horseplayers didn’t see it coming due to being blinded by Orb's so-called brilliance. Read More

  • Sully · I was not at all sucked into the Orb hype, and I turned on him in the derby only to eat that from what I believe was the track condition to his liking (even though there was a $10 win wager placed in my honor by a friend that I turned onto him in the FLA Derby). I'm mostly baffled by these "I told you so" or "this is why you should've had the winner" articles coming out after the race. It's so easy to analyze after-the-fact but where are the predictions??? I hope this shit isn't the effort to revitalize the sport because it's f*ing nonsense! · 6 hours ago ·
