  • Horseracingirl · I really love Union Rags. I like Hasen, but yesterday, Majestic City (my fav!) ran the same distance 3 seconds faster then Hansen. He is visually impressive, but I'm not impressed by his times. · 232 days ago ·

  • Winplacsho · Of the 3 I would slightly lean toward Union Rags over Creative Cause because he looked so visually impressive despite all the traffic trouble. I think the book is still out on Hansen. Its good that he's been 2 turns, but he's never been on dirt & who knows what type of horses he was beating. · 230 days ago ·

  • shadowno · @wps Ditto on that UR coment. Still want to see him around two turns where they seperate the men from the boys. Granted, nothing suggest he won't be fine. · 231 days ago ·

  • keeneland dan · Good Points, I like Royal Delta to win the race, and to wear down Plum Pretty in the stretch. Also Drill is one of a few that can win the 2yr old race. West coast horses did not do so well last yr other then the dirt mile fluke which I took all so I was happy. Baffert horses this yr besides Drill dont look to promising. · 231 days ago ·

Creative Cause turns the tables on Drill in the Norfolk.

Ruler Of Dubai and Drill have the best chance to win.
Based on 20 years of Norfolk Stakes results charts and the dosage profile of all six entrants, the actual parimutuel betting line should be Drill 1-2, Creative Cause 5-2, Basmati 7-1, Ruler of Dubai 15-1, Loukas 25-1.
Ruler of Dubai gets tested for class and endurance in Saturday’s Grade I Norfolk Stakes for 2-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles, but Mike Smith gives the California-bred son Tribal Rule a speedster’s chance. “He ran very well (winning the six furlong I’m Smokin Stakes at Del Mar on Sept. 5),” said the Hall ...Read More
