Looks like it fell in his lap and got a perfect trip/very nice ride but the 1 had figures from the winter on the inner that were competitive.D'Bulldog is a definite bet back if the price is right.

Great ride by Ortiz benefited by a blistering pace duel, don't think I would reach any conclusions about the track with that race.

Even then he didn't close from far out, he was first horse after the duel.

Poppa Catfish · 08-10-11, 01:42 PM

and see pace prevails the very next race

nomar122977 · 08-10-11, 01:45 PM

Have to be on or near the lead

nomar122977 · 08-10-11, 01:53 PM

this next race should be fun 1 1/2 miles on the turf. i really like the 5 here with 8/9

I think the 2 is just the best horse right now.Wildcat Heir babies are at their best as 2 yr olds and the first half of 3 yr old provided they are in a sprint or up to 1 mile on turf.

This one is going to be a blast!

mikemca · 08-10-11, 02:18 PM

Damn the 10 was much the best but went 7 wide while the 4 rode the rail

nomar122977 · 08-10-11, 02:24 PM

wow the 6th race sucks

Poppa Catfish · 08-10-11, 02:30 PM

they should have just scrapped this crapfest

nomar122977 · 08-10-11, 02:32 PM

i agree, why all the scratches in a 6f fast track claiming race? i could see a turf race

Couldn't agree with you more. I am quickly becoming a rabid fan of both of them.

Yep. It just absolutely destroys the pick 5 and pick 3s in this sequence. I hate this race with a passion, its battle of the exes, only without Mike Smith destroying his ex fiancee.

Its hard to tell until they lose their bug.I have seen tons of apprentices who did phenomenal as bug riders fall off the map once they were on equal weights.

nomar122977 · 08-10-11, 03:12 PM

and here comes the monkey wrench in the pick 6 in this 7th race.

Thanks, although I am quite interested in this next race... obviously I've keyed the 3 in this race. Although, He's the only one in for the tag of $75,000. Now is someone really going to pay $75,000 for him (or any of the others)? Not likely, so I don't know how much that matters. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those, he's either gate-to-wire, or he's coming in dead last.

nomar122977 · 08-10-11, 03:58 PM

i think someone may claim him after that nice race

A lot of horses get claimed for 75k or 50k .Lou Brissie ran yesterday I think 1st off a 75k claim for Mike Maker.Then there is Calibrachoa for Pletcher who I think was a 62.5k claim and went on to win two G3's after the claim.There are many but those are the ones off the top of my head.
