You’ll get way better then 5-2. It will be closer to 8-1 then 5-2.

No shot.

[knickslions2]

No shot.

If no one scratches the 1,2, 5, and 6 will be lower then that horse. Be happy if you like him you’ll get paid if he wins.

I dont see it. Its Shug and Ortiz always bet. Plus the speed in an overall weak field.

[blackthroatedwind]

He's the speed, but unless he has a strong workout report, I don't see how he's 5:2. 8:1 is silly but 4:1 doesn't seem impossible without scratches. He's not really that appealing on paper, save his pace advantage.

Is there some story out about him?

No story that i know of. The 2/5 and 2/16 works look good to me though.

[casp0555]

both outside runners first time blinks, if Jose can get the jump on the 1 and hold position on the rail, maybe the 5/6 slug it out....that Tapit will be tough, I think a 3,4 exacta box is my play barring any scratches
good luck

[RHT2004]

The 5 hasn't really done much running and he feels like the one who will be overbet to me. Botero who beat him last time was going 1st time Mott from Baffert. He ran OK that day, but then bombed stretching out. Not much horse IMO.

[knickslions2]

6-1 7-1 at best

[blackthroatedwind]

6-1 7-1 at best

It's a six horse field with one horse with no chance. He cannot possibly be that high.

[RHT2004]

6-1 7-1 at best

No freaking shot. If he's 6-1, he probably cant win. At worst Andy is right and its somewhere in the middle. But he is much more likely to be bet 5-2 then 6-1.

[RHT2004]

Ill go a step further if he's 6-1 at any point in the betting he's no longer a lock. This is the type that shows in the double, opens at 8-5, nd eventually goes off around 5-2.

[RHT2004]

Ill throw out another horse im interested im on Thursday.
Aqu 8th.
Storm Prophet. Obviously would need a fair track, but he feels very dangerous at a decent price. I love the way Maragh is riding....

I agree about the 6:1 and having no shot. He's not winning at over 9:2 and is unlikely to even be that high.

He's live but that's a very hard race. Probably the most interesting race we have run in a while ( no need for the obvious easy jokes:D ).

You don’t hear that every week.

[Alabama Stakes]

9/5 as joe Rockhead 5 star release is pounded by the bettors.

[herkhorse]

Thanks Herk !

Any time Casp!, I drove from Sunland Park to Dallas last Saturday. Pulled over a few times to check on the races and I wasn't allowed access. :mad:
I feel your pain! :D

[RHT2004]

Congrats! Great pick.

I bet....so thanks.

Thanks. You had the 6th at Aqu pegged. Really only considered the 3 after talking horses.

It's a good example of how guys like Atras create problems, as without him in the mix, the winner would have been a major play for me. It worked out fine, though, and the exacta was good.

Took a 92 Beyer to beat a switch to Atras.

From JUSTIN EVANS no less!

Who is this guy? Never heard of him and he's sent out 13 starters in the last 14 months and he's 62%?

[philcski]

Almost forgot- great pick Joe!

[Bogey]

Nice call, Joe

Congrats!!!

Another in a never-ending series of upstart alchemists whose talents make a mockery of so-called professional trainers. The man has skills. When you take a Chad Brown for 25 and six days later win for 50, you realize that the game is overserved with hacks that simply don't know how to get the very best out of the athletes they train. "I can stop hijackings, give all the passengers a piece."

Talking about Atras- Justin Evans has been around a long time and is difficult to claim off of...

[blackthroatedwind]

Fast Talking is back in on Saturday at Aqueduct. It made me think of Joe.
