  • travel_vic · Gulfstream has been running early on the main just abou the while meeting. Any horses not closer than about 4 lengths at the 6 furlong call in routes, have not done well.....When it is wet that is even more a factor · 9 hours ago ·

  • icyhotboo · It was only a prep race for Fly Down.Personally I bet Morning Line because the has been playing to speed. I was surprised a closer even got up let alone win. · 366 days ago ·

How does a horse go from finishing first in one out of nineteen starts the past two calendar years to becoming one of the most respected older horses in the country in a time span of less than two minutes? Yesterday we found the answer, as the long untapped potential of Giant Oak exploded down the G...Read More

  • zatt · Point well taken Mike, this could be the year where the 3-year-olds take it to their elders later this year. I am especially thinking of one in particular ;-) RL, I thought I Want Revenge ran quite well in the Donn, all things considered. · 367 days ago ·

  • RachelLover · Zatt, I absolutely agree with you that IWR ran well (I didn't mean to give the impression I thought he ran lousy - sometimes sharing thoughts in print doesn't always come out the way I want it to!) I had hoped to see his connections start conversatively and work him up. Of course, they aren't interested in my opinion! HA · 367 days ago ·

That's two Grade 1 wins in a row for Donn winner Giant Oak; that comes after 14 losing efforts in a row (15 since he actually crossed the wire first) of mostly reliable rallies that nonetheless fell short on various different surfaces. He earned a career high Beyer of 105 in the Donn, benefiting fro...Read More

I like Rule in here with Square Eddie. This race is a little tough to handicap, so thats why I'm gonna do multiple wagers. Rule Square Eddie Giant Oak. Morning Line, Rule Exacta, and tri with Fly Down. But i really like Rule for my top pick
  • bband · Agree. This is a very tough race. But as we can see with the poll, people are going to really hammer Fly Down. While I believe he will be the best of this bunch in the summer, he's just a bad bet to hit the exacta at 8-5 or less in this very tough race. · 369 days ago ·

How strong is the field for the $500,000 Donn Handicap (gr. I)? Included among the nine starters is a horse that enters off a win in a Breeders’ Cup race, another that bagged the Clark Handicap (gr.

  • tiznow · i really hope IWR does not go in the Donn...he needs an allowance race to get some foundation back. Throw him in a G1 off the long layoff again? Look what happened last year, he very clearly needed a race and you bring him back in a G2 at 1 1/8 and then bring him right back in a G2 after he very clearly showed how tired he got. IEAH imo doesn't put the best interest of the horse first. This horse has always worked lights out, doesn't mean jump right into a G1. · 374 days ago ·
