Even his dirt figs seem a bit light to me. Never had a BSF over 98.

Steppenwolfer.....
 
Could be the Flashy Bull of Belmont day, and step up and run a big one.

Huh?

They are listed under Dove Houghton name because she was once an asst. trainer to Tony Dutrow. She is a good trainer in her own right.

ran 5 consecutive TG 2's last year. Only 3 starts so far at 4, two 5's and a 6 (turf). I heard Steve say he was going to try and get Dan Peitz on the show, perhaps he can shed some light.

see...you got me there Seth. My simple ass has ZERO clue of how to read those TG sheets.

mclem10011 06-07-2007 07:14 PM

Perhaps i phrased it wrong......
 
But I never cared for Flashy Bull, yet i thought he stepped up on Preakness day and ran a nice race. Perhaps Steppenwolfer could do likewise.

Kev, at the end of many a day, I am left to conclude that neither do I ;)

I don't understand what one could possibly have to do with the other.

Am I the only one who thinks Bordonaro is a horrible favorite in the True North? It's not like the horse has necessarily welcomed a challenge, and I expect Keyed Entry will put pressure on him from the beginning.

Both of Dutrow's entries look like they have a shot to be competitive.

mclem10011 06-07-2007 07:44 PM

Your right!
 
I don't! :D I have just as much right as anyone on here, to make random comments, no matter how stupid they may be. :D

Is Keyed Entry fast enough to go with Bordonaro? That is the question. If the pace does kill the front runners, I look to Suave Jazz or Will He Shine to pick up the pieces - Joey P has fallen on his face when he previously tried graded company.

COSMONAUT????:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Horse has never been better since Prado got on board, should have won the Dixie, and has won at 10f on turf. If English Channel needs one after his trip, Cosmonaut can take advantage.

Again...I would think BTN or SQ would be more likely than Cosmonaut if EC fails to fire.

BTN runs by them all to win by a half length...
