11 top races..


Maryfield would be a fantastic start....

[NoChanceToDance]

Wow, how did you find that???

That track is one of the worst i have ever seen. If the turf isn't soft the drainage must be the best in the world.

11 top races..


Maryfield would be a fantastic start....Great pick on that one. I am able to watch the races on the Breeders Cup website. The track looks awful, but Maryfield sure did close on the outside to get up. Nice little $1 super of over $6,700 on that one.

[Scav]

What was the finish?

4-2-1

Real pissed at myself from a touting standpoint because I had the 2 on my thing and changed it to that rat Baroness Thatcher

[ALostTexan]

Ouch, just saw that one.

Nice to start out with a $374 Exacta...

[kgar311]

If somebody is at the track please find a gun, give it to trevor denman and let him pull the trigger. Maryfield made a gigantic move and didnt get a call until she was under the wire. Something needs to be done about him.

Something needs to be done about him.Very good point. You could her moving nicely down the stretch. He is 0-1 this year in BC races.

[whodey17]

Nice to start out with a $374 Exacta...Your horse finished 6th if you wagered on the 7.

[brockguy]

yeah i agree not the greatest call at all...

achill island up next, if he wins,its the start dreams are made of..

[kgar311]

All favs out of the money, 40-1 second and the super pays 6800????????????????????? wtf

[whodey17]

I like the 6 horse here Gio Ponti if for nothing else but the name.

I know I needn't play the "I wonder if you could do it better" angle -- but are you serious with this?

Missing Street Sense last year is one thing. Wasting time wringing your hands over the fact that he didn't have a super crisp call when nobody could see a GD thing until just outside the final sixteenth seems a bit over the top.

Then again, that is to be expected, I suppose.

Perhaps Maryfield was easy to find if Maryfield was the only horse you were following around the track. Cut the guy a break on trying to announce ten horses in the middle of a Jersey monsoon.

Too rational, I'm certain.

[NoChanceToDance]

Money coming for Achill Island. Top price 9/2 (on betfair) now.

I do understand the monsoon factor but the move in itself was spectacular! you couldnt miss it and hes calling the horses on the rail. Anything outside the 3 path hes blind to.

[whodey17]

Pretty even betting race with the 8 being the fav with 10 MTP at 3-1.

[IrishofNDMan]

Cherokee Triangle!

[kgar311]

The Leopard

[miraja2]

I like the 6 horse here Gio Ponti if for nothing else but the name.
I like him too, but with this surface this race has become a complete crapshoot I think.
Figuring out how they will run on a course that is a little wet and/or soft is one thing, but this bog makes it really tough to predict how 2yos will perform.

[whodey17]

If I was at the track or had a way to wager I would take a flyer on the 12 Domestic Fund at 9-1

[NoChanceToDance]

Done on the wire. Ouch.

[brockguy]

Damn

[IrishofNDMan]

Hopefully that tri pays good!

Here was my play in the BC Contest on here:

Juvy Turf
Cherokee Triangle
Achill Island
Nownownow
Strike the Deal

Put some good money on these races today to try to gain more for tomorrow, boxed those 4 for $1 in exacta and tri's. Thought Cherokee Triangle would run much better though.

[NoChanceToDance]

Damn

Thought we were odds on to collect at the furlong pole.

Coming wide around the home bend hasn't seemed like much of a problem. Good news for Excellent Art tomorrow.

[whodey17]

[ArlJim78]

the race calls could not be any worse if you ask me..

[IrishofNDMan]

I thought Strike The Deal got 3rd for me, fricken Cannon-whatever.

[NoChanceToDance]

I thought he got third, too. That sucks, sorry.

I hope it wasn't Frankie's fault. Although that wouldn't surprise me if it was.

[brockguy]

had to play the cat here, he could make the field (or me!!) look stupid, Ive a saver on park Avenue Ball as my exit strategy

[brianwspencer]

going with Lewis Michael, and playing Discreet Cat underneath him in 2nd and 3rd with almost everyone else in the field.

[whodey17]

I have always loved The Cat but I wouldnt take him here at 6/5. Horrible track, inside draw and who knows what to make of his Vosburgh race. I wouldnt be surprised to see him win, but if I had $20 to wager, I would look at Xchanger. We saw that horses can close in race 8 and I think this race sets up nicely for a come from behind horse like Xchanger.

[NoChanceToDance]

No bet in this for me.

If the cat is anywhere close to his best form there will be only one winner, but that is a big if.

I'm also not sure how he will handle a sloppy track.

I do like Gottcha Gold.

Much also depends on which Corinithian turns up at the gig.

We can get 15/8 here about Discreet Cat.

Still not a bet at that price for me though.

[IrishofNDMan]

I need to see that Juvy Turf again, it looked for sure that the 5 Strike the Deal held on for 3rd. I didn't even think it was close! I just saw the finish again, how did the 2 on the outside get the 5?

[kgar311]

Corinthian

[IrishofNDMan]

Corinthian

Amen!

[ALostTexan]

Damn, look at those P4 payoffs. Discreet Cat ain't bad, and the rest are over $24,000. Not a bad way to start out the Cup...

Many thanks to the winner of the first leg -- same trainer as Smarty Deb tomorrow in the juvenile fillies. Watch out for her tomorrow. Those horses from Seattle get reaaaaaaaal used to running in this stuff.

Very good point. Liked her already, and even more now with the crap from the sky...

[brianwspencer]

I loved that one in the JF already tomorrow -- but her having a winner with her already gives me a little bit of extra confidence.

It makes me think the horse wouldn't be here tomorrow if she shouldn't be, after the other shipper with her wins on the East Coast vacation.

[NoChanceToDance]

Brock, DC is 9/4 on betfair. are you on???

[brockguy]

i took 2-1... not confident now though..

[whodey17]

Ok that wasnt impressive or anything. Good job by Corinthian. Good pick you two as well. I need to find that old Corinthian thread--ha ha ha

[IrishofNDMan]

Bam!!! Nailed Corinthian!

[ALostTexan]

What will be the excuse for Discreet Cat now?

Rain? Throat Problems? MRSA? George Bush?

[brockguy]

corinthian did very well. DC ran an odd race. the dirt is in some state at the moment..anyway, enough to whet our appetite for tomorrow

[kgar311]

Bam!!! Nailed Corinthian!
Yes "WE" did. I got the tri

[whodey17]

Aww found it. It is always fun to revisit the old threads.

Yes "WE" did. I got the tri215.40 - congrats. i am excited for you two. i love to hear about people winning.

[ALostTexan]

$82,000 Carryover for the P6 is also nice...

[whodey17]

$82,000 Carryover for the P6 is also nice...Wouldnt that carryover into the next day of racing after the breeders cup tomorrow?

[NoChanceToDance]

I got the tri in a contest, but not in reality :(

I think we can say that DC isn't the horse of old. Again there was nothing there when he was asked for his effort.

Gottcha Gold has ran a massive race to stay on for second after those fractions he set.

I've just seen something on the Thoroughbred Times where they aren't certain to be running on the turf tomorrow if it keeps raining (it is forecast to continue)

[ALostTexan]

No, pretty sure it is going tomorrow. Seems like I saw that somewhere...

[brianwspencer]

No, pretty sure it is going tomorrow. Seems like I saw that somewhere...

It carries over to tomorrow -- mandatory payout tomorrow, regardless of whether it's hit or not.

[ALostTexan]

Well, you made me question myself on the Pick 6, and from the BC website...

The Breeders' Cup Ultra Pick 6 will have a $3 million guarantee on Breeders' Cup Saturday, but there will also be Pick 6 wagers offered on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday programs at Monmouth; and any carryover on Friday will be placed in Saturday's Breeders' Cup Ultra Pick 6

Nice little addition to the pool tomorrow...

$3,082,000 > $3,000,000. :)

[whodey17]

Funny reading those comments. Steppenwolfer, Jazil, ha!I got a kick out of the Steppenwolfer comments as well. And one comment said that Corinthian would win a Grade III at best. But it was a good thread with sound reasoning and debate.

Man whodey, it is a shame that you weren't around to meet the guy that started that thread. I think you really would have liked him.

Or have you already admitted that you are eurobounce somewhere and I missed it?
Actually, never mind, I couldn't care less either way.

)

The horse was pretty ill, according to what was published. An illness that lingered for a while, too. That can sap an animal's reserves in ways that don't show up until he is stringently tested. Sure he can work a fast 5f, but as we all know, a workout isn't a race.
