Practice? We Talkin' About Practice!?!?

BrianZipse · Not sure about Mr. Iverson, but ... I know the teams I played for always performed better in games when we practiced well. It's the same for horses ... they tell us an awful lot in the mornings. Loved your take on this aspect of handicapping, J-Money! · 89 days ago ·

Winplacsho · Another pattern I like to look for is a horse who has 4 evenly spaced workouts at 4 furlongs (for example) & each work gets a little faster. · 89 days ago ·

Winplacsho · Shug McGaughey well meant 1st time starters usually have a 3 furlong blow out work 2 or 3 days before the race. This workout usually doesn't show up in the PPs, so you have to be on your toes to find out about it. · 87 days ago ·

travel_vic · Unless you are THERE on the grounds to SEE them evolve, in what company under what weight in what path in what conditions with what equipment AND you know or do not know the medications they are on (no drug tersts after workouts you know) then it is a guessing game which are worth noting an which are worth passing. Read Dr. William Quirin in this regard or wake up early several mornings, go out and see for yourself. · 66 days ago ·

travel_vic · you have a horse with breathing touble, as many do who are inside the dusty dirty inner parts of barns. In order to help the animal to breathe you give him a standard dose of clenbuterol. He is breathing well and you make sure to give him said dose at least 4 days before he runs so as to not have a drug positive. Having open bronchi, he works out is a time augmented not by talent or conditioning, but by pharameutical bronchodilation. Now tell me that work out will tell us how the horse will run on race day without the medication? · 66 days ago ·

Rossington · Honestly, Tizway being knocked out the JCGC will very much put me off of him in this year's BC Classic. I think this was a race he very much needed to run in. For one thing, Tizway hasn't ran over a 1-1/4 since the 09' JCGC, and he ended up a distant 3rd that day. Some 5 or 6 length's behind Summer Bird and Quality Road. I think Tizway needed to cover this 1-1/4 at Belmont again to get him fitter for the taxing Churchill Downs 1-1/4 that's coming in the BC Classic. TJMO. · 138 days ago ·

mdracing69 · It is probably a good move for Bond to give Tizway a shot in longer races. The Handicap Division is weak and the Met Mile winner could be a player in races like the Whitney. They could always turn back and shoot for the BC Dirt Mile if the distance thing doesn't go according to plan. · 249 days ago ·

xMystix · I agree. Might as well take a shot at the longer distances since the competition in the older ranks is lacking. It doesn't hurt to try, knowing that he can get a mile distance. I would like to see him go further, as his pedigree does suggest he can go further. It will definitely add some possible intrigue and excitement for the Breeders Cup. · 249 days ago ·
