Good to know.

I had thought with the meet so close to over he'd be in must-win mode. On to the next one!

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 02:34 PM

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 02:41 PM

Just for fun, pick 3 ticket for all grade 1's.

mikemca · 09-03-11, 03:37 PM

The Saranac looks like an awesome race tomorrow.One of my favorite horses Seal Cove gets a class test and is 6-1.Brilliant Speed is the 7-2 favorite getting back on turf after the triple crown trail.Pletcher throws Queensplatekitten who I was a big fan of earlier in the year but hasn't quite panned out.He also has Clement Rock who is undefeated on turf.King Congie is interesting.Chinglish who ran huge on the Preakness undercard is 20-1.A lot of ways to go in this one.

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 03:44 PM

Why even run that last race, lol

They could run it over again and again and again... until they put some kind of pressure on the 2 he will win pretty much every time.

mikemca · 09-03-11, 03:47 PM

Odd ride by Johnny V on Protesting.Why did he gun it from the gate and end up 3 wide into the first turn when he was on the best closer?

I was wondering that myself, we have seen several incredibly odd rides by good riders today.

Castellano gunning it with the stalker in the first
Ortiz forgetting that its a route and running 5.5 f race
Johnny V trying to forwardly place his closer

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 03:54 PM

wow ask the moon just loves to run nice horse

PStrangers · 09-03-11, 04:03 PM

Because that pick 3 ticket worked out so well for me, lets try the pick 4 instead.

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 04:14 PM

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 04:16 PM

Great ride!

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 04:16 PM

PStrangers · 09-03-11, 04:18 PM

As he should be... in my opinion he's way the best horse there. Which is why I singled him in my pick3/4.

But, I like to lose my pick 4 bets, so feel free to be against him, lol.

PStrangers · 09-03-11, 04:33 PM

Wow, $100,000 to show on the 6th? Thats crazy.

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 04:36 PM

wow 5/2 on flatout is a steal. why would you place 100k on a show bet? dont she can can win???

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 04:44 PM

should be a great race. i think this is better than the weak travers they raced this year

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 04:50 PM

Great race it was, Havre De Grace shuts up some doubters, imo

nomar122977 · 09-03-11, 04:51 PM

shes pretty amazing. horse of the year imo. a very bad ride on flat out

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 04:55 PM

Kind of funny though that after whining about Blind Luck getting weight in their matchup she had weight on all her competitors today.

PStrangers · 09-03-11, 05:03 PM

Definitely shuts me up, I am impressed by her. That said, I did think that Flat out got a bit of a bad trip, bumped on the break, 3w first turn, i was surprised he got up there for second.

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 05:12 PM

shuts me up too

and she is just so bloody consistent, every time same race. Frightening if you are the competition.

Poppa Catfish · 09-03-11, 05:21 PM

lmao I'm going to change my username to Matt C

again hes on my pick

*burns up that ticket*

PStrangers · 09-03-11, 06:06 PM

Hey Mike since I didn't finish my picks I believe the last race becomes my best bet? If that's not the rule then no problem, but if it is my last payout should be doubled.

Also, I'll take the time to thank you for keeping the scores updated all meet. Great work and its appreciated!!!
