I like DATALINK here as well, but I think the 2 DOUBLES PARTNER may have a better shot at closing late if the pace is as quick as I think it will be. My top 4

2 DOUBLES PARTNER
11 DOMINUS
7 DATALINK
5 WISE DAN

If you guys really think Wise Dan is going to fail to hit the board then you guys should hammer the place and show pools .

Do you guys really think Wise Dan won't hit the board?? To me, his figures look solid; I really can't see him loosing. Last year, he came fourth to Gio Ponti, Get Stormy, and Sidney's Candy. Also, the trainer has 36% win rate with Graded Stakes. The only thing is that Velazquez is not riding. I am curious to what you guys see that I have missed. Thanks in advance.

He is wheeling back quicker than usual and main goal is Breeders Cup so may not be fully cranked.Still think he is going to be tough.

This is really my thought, don't get me wrong, I think he should be the favorite, and I think he will probably win, he will be on my pick4 tickets. But that being said I am really going to be watching those pools. And betting hard against him if the odds get where I think they might end up.

Its not so much about what I think will happen in the race, its putting my money in a place with the most chance at a positive return.

Welp.....Wise Dan was the best, and was the best by far.

mikemca · 10-06-12, 04:44 PM

Yeah that was pretty crazy.Definitely not at his best and he toyed with them.When he is at his best he is on another planet.

mrginandtonic · 10-06-12, 04:56 PM

Damn 5/4/8/2 paid $560 for $0.10. How did I miss the 4 in the second leg?? LOL.

Agree. Think it's between Wise Dan and Little Mike from the states for the Mile Turf.

BGboothA · 10-06-12, 05:07 PM

Yeah, he toyed with me too....I was thinking that he was definitly beatable coming around that turn, and then its as if he heard my thought, laughed and then made a mockery of me.

He is something.

Just tried to beat him. You can keep him at 3-5. These Keenland fields are great for squares but just to BIG to handicap effectively IMO. That being said Wise Dan is very Fckng good.
