Friday At Pimlico

Race 1
Don't see how you can take 4-5 on the 5-Love Heart.Yeah she has the best figures but they are in sprints and this is the first time in 19 starts she goes this far on dirt.Only once has she gone even a mile and that was on turf where she finished 13th of 14.

1/1A-Potts Entry 8-1
7-Onegreatstep 9-2
3-Smooth Approach 15-1

Race 2
This race is a tough 14 horse 5F turf sprint.Like 3-Litigious 15-1 last race and 6-Love This Kitty 8-1 would be tough to deal with if she can rate at all.Then there is the G Motion horse who cuts back after stalking a fast pace at 1 mile 4-Race Hunter 10-1 but think she gets bet down some.

6-Love This Kitty 8-1
4-Race Hunter 10-1
3-Litigious 15-1
2-Eddie Gourmet 4-1

Race 3
This must be the race where they throw the retired female jockeys on horses for some reason.4-Big Lute looks tough at 4-5.Looking for someone else leads to 7-It's My Perogative at 15-1.Maybe cold exacta or box them.

Race 4
Spent a while trying to find someone to beat the 2-Concise 2-1 besides the 5 and 11.The chances are pretty bleak but I love the breeding on 10-Dance Craze 12-1 (Mizzen Mast out of Dynaformer mare) and with only 4 starts could still be improving.

Race 5
Another race you can go a number of ways and if the track comes up wet it changes everything.Every horse in here wants to be on or near the lead with the exception of 8-Flattering Bea 12-1.She may be a little too slow but she will be the one running fastest in the stretch.Also 4-Risky Rachel 5-1 can take back somewhat and she likes to fire big off layoffs.The third will be either Munnings Sister or Winning Image.

Race 6
Really hoping this somehow stays on the turf.Even though 5-Alkazan Alkazan 5-2 looks tough going from maybe the worst turf barn to one of the best , there are a number of bombs to use underneath.If for some reason the 5 scratches then it could be lotto time with 9-Tru Greek 15-1, 3-All For Peace 30-1, 4-St. Alban's Boy 10-1, and 8-Outofthedepths 20-1.The 15 is the obvious danger but stuck way outside in this huge field makes me want to try and beat her.

Race 7
Renamed the Wesley Ward Stakes with his 50% of the field.One of the first babies of Quality Road to hit the track in 2nd choice 6-Hootenanny 5-2.If it comes up wet 5-Bessie's Boy 10-1 is the way to go on a win bet.Would think going 4 deep trying to beat the fave Spanish Pipedream is plausible with the 2 Ward's already mentioned plus another in 4-Banksy 12-1 and then 1-Governmentshutdown 3-1.The fave looks among the best but might not like dirt.

Race 8
It's becoming apparent Graham Motion has a very strong hand throughout this card and he does again here with 3-Dido 7-2 who I much prefer instead of Lonesome Town.Also 9-Enchanted Party 10-1 and 10-South Andros 20-1.8-Harbingerofthings 8-1 would be next in line if wanting to go deeper.If it gets taken off turf 7-Perique 10-1 becomes a strong play.

Race 9
8-Ben's Cat 7-5 is the 5f turf sprint version of Wise Dan.Remarkably consistent for 5 years now.6-Wicked Tune 8-1, 7-Spring To The Sky 10-1, and 4-A P Elvis 20-1 are the prices to key him with in a box.

Race 10
Favorite Stopchargingmaria is one of many who can win as well as 2nd choice Euphrosyne.Will try to beat them both as well as 3rd choice Sloane Square.9-Fortune Pearl 12-1 gets better with every extra furlong.2-America 8-1 should also be getting better with age being sired by AP Indy and same goes for 6-Arethusa 8-1.If it comes up wet things change.

Race 11
Can't get past the 3 faves.I guess 4-Miss Behaviour 8-1 would be the price to try but she seems to be getting a fair amount of buzz in this race.

Race 12
Like 3rd choice 2-Cat Burglar 4-1 and 1-Valid 10-1.Only horse in here you can toss is 50-1 shot Major King so coming up with the 3rd is hard.I guess it's between the 2 Pletcher's for me with a slight lean toward Revolutionary.

Race 13
More Graham Motion with 1-Daring Dancer 4-5.Big edge here but not sure why she is in this race.Not going to try and beat her though.If she runs her race she should be the easiest winner all weekend.Can add some prices under in a straight exacta with 7-High Wire Kitten 15-1 and 4-Buttercup Bay 10-1.









If muddy/sloppy disregard all this

Good call, she just as easily could have won that instead of place.

Surprised as well. Looks like the word on the street is negative.

[harthebar]

mike, life in shambles, that was a tough one , ouch

[harthebar]

yea its all positive for the cc, i guess everyone wants to see a triple crown winner.....i wonder how much money is on that horse, just for that reason.......you know like playing a name or a number.......i know he is neither......im just curious....he is getting a ton of hype on tv....social that is

Not really following the NBC coverage. But I wonder if the scratch last race, and some of the things STR mentioned are playing a factor.

[harthebar]

ride on curlin
generl a rod
calif chrome
kid cruz
why not they are all here to win....it just seems like, everyone think calif chrome cant lose why are odds not one horse is under 10-1 except for chrome ? the bookies in vegas have strange money line props that prop looks odd to me you have a horse that is 25 and 10 -1 my math must be screwy

[mikemca]

I think it's just a case where CC is taking all the money which is comprised of mostly public perception.If this was just a normal race 6 at Belmont think the odds would be much different.

The public loves the story(Chrome) ,the girl(Ria Antonia), and the girl rider(Bayern)


I guess we'll see but in my eyes it just makes him a bigger overlay

[mikemca]

SI down to 6-1 now

[mikemca]

Damn , I backed 2 headcases who went nutz pre race in the Derby and now the Preakness.

SI ran pretty good considering

[mikemca]

On to the Belmont where I'll try to beat this fuker again

[harthebar]

So what's the verdict. Can he win a mile and half. .
