Can someone explain to me how Stay Put is ranked so high this poll?
You're on! I'll see your deep dish pizza for a couple of Philly cheese steaks.
I don't mean any disrespect, Invasor, but you might be dipping into the Mint Juleps a little early. Noble's Promise is nothing more but an also ran here and throughout the Triple Crown run.
Had everything his own way. Maybe pace insurance for Pletcher in the Derby
Agree...top horse in that race given slow pace. Deserves a shot running at a normal pace set up.
Cigar, I agree with your assessment on City Trooper. He has the pace figures to tangle with D' Funnybone and A Little Warm and not flame out. That six furlong race on Jan 9th run by Wildcat Frankie and A Little Warm resulted in a unusually high BRIS figures. Toss that one. The next race run by Wildcat Frankie confirms the freakishness of that sprint race.Do you have word that Radiohead might scratch today?
I think you are both on to something. Even Bruce Levine, the trainer of Buddy's Saint has his "lay off" excuse ready as you can see below in the Kentucy Derby Contenders section below. I know this isn't a track that is kind to closers but for upsets I agree that Pleasant Prince and Ice Box are live. Also, consider Pulsion. Finishing less than two lengths behind Lookin At Lucky in the Norfolk was no fluke. Toss the freaky BC Juvenile race as you can for so many others that ran in one of the slowest paces ever run in this race. If you like value, take a look at Radiohead in the Hutcheson. Hey Nation, what other potential upsets do you see in the big races today?
It will be interesting to see what kind of horse General Quarters will be this year. I have my doubts.
Nice hit Jarrod on square price winner!
Just want to draw your attention to a Turf Maiden race at Fair Grounds on Monday that has huge exotic pay offs written all over it. Great handicapping challenge.
