Woodbine 10/14 Race 10 Canadian International G1

So many foreign entries, makes it difficult for me to pick. Gonna take a wild stab at this:

8- Joshua Tree
3- Forte Dei Marmi
10- Imperial Monarch
7- Reliable Man

But I think I really like Joshua Tree mainly because he ran third to Orfevre and he will be ridden by Dettorri again. So far, it looks like at least a W/P wager for me. GL to you.

Joshua Tree mainly because ran third to Orfevre by 1 1/2

This...The best horse on earth right now is either Frankel or Orfevre and Joshua Tree was a respectable length and a half behind Orfevre.I see 5-1 as gift.

Was wondering why he is 5-1??

Because they are weird over there,Its almost like they expect a horse to just win everytime.Once a horse loses twice without an excuse they label him "exposed" as if he will never be that good again.

6 Furs 1:17 and change!!!!! LOL It was over right there . Great Call fellas on the 8 and a very square price. Matt Carruthers called the 7 horse as his pick when they were loading. When that happens TEAR UP YOUR TICKET he is the KISS OF DEATH! He is either the worst horse handicapper in north america or he PURPOSELY talks around his horses because you cant be that bad!

IMO I thought it was great ride by Dettori; setting the soft fractions even though there were horses within a length of him throughout. Nonetheless, I'm glad that he won and paid pretty good I thought ($2 W/P for $16). If it ran 8/3/2/6 or 8/3/6/2; I woulda hit the tri and the exacta. O well, better luck next time.

How is $10.70 to win a square price on the most likely winner?He wasn't even the favorite.

The $1.80 on your 2nd horse was the squarest price of the weekend.

I didnt mean square in a bad way, I meant square as SOLID. I did not mean to be disparaging in the least. The ride was PERFECT and the odds were great. Apologies if you felt insulted. I read your posts and you clearly know your racing. I appreciate your input.

K sry then..I think the common understanding is that square = uninformed.To me it implies laziness and considering how much time I put in scouring over stats,figures,replays,and just keeping up with what trainers are hot,what horses are in form ,and what the track bias is track by track ,being called square is insulting.Not a big deal its easy to have a misunderstanding on a forum.
