Took a quick look at Keeneland's opening day card and it looks pretty good.Jack Milton looks vulnerable as the probable favorite in the GIII Transylvania.We'll see when they put up the ML if Battaglia makes him the fave.

Battaglia made Jack Milton the second choice at 4/1. Up with the Birds the lukewarm Fav at 7/2.

[mikemca]

Up with the Birds the lukewarm Fav at 7/2.

I hope that ends up being true but I don't see it.IMO Jack Milton, Fire Guard ,and Bambazonki will all be shorter than Up With The Birds.Race looks wide open though so I guess nothing would surprise me.Think Brown Almighty looks tempting at 15-1.

Yeah I saw that.Both the derby preps this weekend look formful imo with Verrazano,Vyjack, and Normandy Invasion contesting the win/place spots in the Wood and Flashback looks tough in the SA derby with Gomez replacing the anchor.Liked Tiz A Minister last time and might give him another chance depending on price.

[harthebar]

mikemca take a look at Sugar Ryan is entered to run on April 4, 2013, at GULFSTREAM PARK i do not have a form to day, and i have him in my stable, do you think he has a shot in top 3 speed horse..

His 4th and 6th back are competitive but I'd want more than 8-1.I'd go with Tom Kitten just looking for the winner but 3-1 is too short for me.

goldencents one more try?

There is a ton of speed again just like last time but don't think Flashback is going to have to keep him honest this time.Think that is why Baffert put Super Ninety Nine and Power Broker in there to go with Goldencents letting Flashback get the run of the race and then Hear The Ghost/Tiz A Minister to pick up the pieces.

Nice find...That's a crazy price for a 6 horse field with Irad Ortiz on it.I guess she got dismissed for being a 3 yr old against 4 & 5 year olds this early in the year.

The 2 horses I was going to single got scratched...

Let me know if you like any to be singled. I have two races that I have narrowed down to two horses. Race 9 the 4 and 14. Race 12 the 4 and 11.

I would like to single at least one race to keep the $$ down. Today is the day I should pay up and go for it, but I don't like throwing money away when I am doing well to just tread water.

Damn don't know why I don't listen to you about Goldencents.I could have won the DW Saturday 10K game .I was down by $14 going into the last race and used Power Broker instead of Goldencents thinking Power Broker could rate.Ended up 6th of the 100 in the tournament and won the survival tournament so can't complain but would have been much better if I wasn't so stubborn.

[harthebar]

He did look good ....still alive in pick 4

Normandy Invasion is the Kentucky Derby key horse for your EX,TRI,SUPER boxes assuming he gets through the next 4 weeks without a hiccup.

that pace was glacierly slow lol and to me he had a bad trip or would have won, now depends on who gets in and post draw for me before constructing a few tickets.

[harthebar]

yea I think so, but I also think you should watch for mr. palmer but he wont even get in right ? he cant have enough points........did you like goldenscents the way he ran,
