Easy now.... I like him too, but maybe not enough to trust him in my surviving.

His pace figs last race were 79-89-103 meaning he has a lot more in the tank.What makes it even more likeable is that the 101 speed fig he got is the best in this field and he wasn't even topped out.

Of course there is the class hike to worry about but I think he passes.

**TonyP** · 03-09-12, 05:54 PM

not sure I want to go with that race.

**Poppa Catfish** · 03-09-12, 06:25 PM

Lady of Shamrock is looking like mine, though I like the thought of my selection being My Selection

**Poppa Catfish** · 03-09-12, 06:29 PM

Bode should romp, but I think I'll just watch that one and hope something screwy happens and eliminates much more than half the pool, which isn't exactly a great tactic but hey I got a 1% shot.

O.k.. I know your good at this and if you feel comfortable with a Baffert/ favorite perhaps, then by all means I wish you the best. I on the other hand have been knocked out and seen too many others knocked out in this thing by a Baffert horse that runs 4th. Of course he is like GOD now and is really on fire, so I am not going to knock you for liking him.

Agree... I like the horse A LOT tomorrow, but I got knocked out last time by thinking a Baffert horse was a "safe and for sure" pick.

I will bet him, but am going to try something else to land on for in order to survive.

**mikemca** · 03-09-12, 09:42 PM

Yeah I agree it sucks he is trained by Baffert as people put way too much stock in the trainer/jock and it kills the value.It would be much better if it was a Van Berg horse with JJ Steiner up.If I were going to try to take a chance and I would go with Zander in the 9th.Adds blinks and should be able to set an easy pace.

**TonyP** · 03-09-12, 11:24 PM

will post my pick and reasoning in the morning.

**TonyP** · 03-10-12, 12:26 AM

thinking of going with brother francis in the 2nd

**TonyP** · 03-10-12, 08:53 AM

I went with Brother Francis in the 2nd

**Poppa Catfish** · 03-10-12, 09:19 AM

Lol Look at who he met in his debut. American act, midnight transfer, castaway et al

**Poppa Catfish** · 03-10-12, 09:29 AM

Horse took a step down ub competition by entering a grade 3. Lol

**TonyP** · 03-10-12, 10:12 AM

**Arletta** · 03-10-12, 11:19 AM

Race 2) #6 Brother Francis

**TonyP** · 03-10-12, 11:30 AM

your car poppa georgio , hay just in time for a massage poppa georgio

**Hanger** · 03-10-12, 03:42 PM

6 looks solid guys, any 2nd looks at that 2? If he stays within 3-4 lengths of the 6,7 looks like he has the horse to come down strong. Plus with a 60+ day layoff for that 6. Whoops I am rambling again....BOL to all!! Looking for a 6/7/2 this am- but pricing will keep me off that one here...
