Often less than stellar horses win race because the pace set up or track preference favors them Bee Bee Bee Alom;a`s Ruler, Tanks Prospect....the list is long including Summer Squall and Snow Chief...SPEEDBALLS who went out on a track that favored them.
I don't care who wins as long as it is either super saver, lookin at lucky, conveyance, jackson bend, or dublin. i know this sounds wierd but i hate when crappy horses win prestigious races. i don't want a horse who has raced 8 or so times and has won twice. actually it doesn't have to be a great horse but if it isn't i want it to have a good pedigree or to be trained buy a top trainer. i hate when crappy horses like mine that bird trained by a no body of a trainer chip woolly comes and win a race that should be won by a trainer who races at a real track. and by a real track i mean: if it isn't in Kentucky, Florida, new york, Illinois, California, and i guess Arkansas (oaklawn) or Louisiana (fairgrounds ) your not racing at a real track.
I do not see much of a pace in this race - in fact, because of that I don't see this as a good race setup for Super Saver. Saver may be the one who has to set the pace - otherwise he would be "pressing" a rather slow pace.
I see a race with a lack of pace to benefit horses like Hurricane Ike, Paddy O'Prado and Caracortado.
Makes it a lot tougher on Super Saver.... big field, hotter pace, more trouble... will have to get lucky at the post draw!
