Agree for the most part, exceptions Honor Code, Arrogate, and Frosted. (Real good race but 51%+ to Justify-Ill have another, Animal Kingdom, Chrome, Bernardini, Barbaro) So, that puts him in the top 8-10. imo
Zenyatta could have caught him. Maybe passed him, maybe not.
Id like to say he will, but I dont think he will. I could careless about his lack of racing as a 2 year old. I think he has won in outstanding fashion in his last 4 races, from a walk in the park to a duel with Bolt, to everything that mother nature could throw at him (except fog) in the Derby, plus beating both Magics pressing attempt in the turn and Audibles late charge down the stretch, to another impressive win in the FOG and mud. But 12 furlong, against fresh horses and horses built for 12 furlongs. I give him a 40% chance.
Wait 0 for 51 isnt a Formulator Fact, its a SUPER STAT! Listen to the history. Also my point is on pedigree of Scat Daddy, 9 Furlongs and down, nice turn of foot, not a 10 furlong sire. BUUUUT if you like him, get him now at 9-1 because if he wins the Santa Anita Deby, he will be one of the favs.
Before I bet the farm, id research how many 10 furlong winners come out of Scat Daddy.
Agreed, a terrible call. Sometimes its as if the stewards have an agenda.
yes, all rankings on this site are simply a popularity contest, or a "who's hot and how is not" don't try and make sense of it
Lets go with baby steps, BC Distaff win first then think about the BC Classic. I would definitely take on some males in some G1's this summer.
Distance, malagacy will do better 9f or less
elhubbo, i handicapped the races myself, I think that 6 have a chance of winning, with a few others that could hit the board. so 6/9/9 thats $168 tri, that could pay over a grand, could pay 5k. Could pay $167. but Ill take my 336 combonations and hope it hits. as for the winner, im leaning toward IWC.
