I still like Forever Together but I'm also maybe the only person on Earth who thinks the pace won't be that slow.

Granted, Mauralkana's body of work is more impressive than Dynaforce, but they were separated by a neck when they faced each other. And Forever Together beat her 3/4's. Are you at all concerned with Forever Together's run not being as effective at 10 furlongs? I think she would have been better off in the mile.

A little, but then again 10F @ SA isn't 10F at Belmont/Saratoga- partially because of starting on the downhill and partially because of the pool table cut of the grass. Plus, her best race was arguably the Diana at 9F, which I absolutely loved.

Then again, Wait a While could run her best race and crush all three of them, making our for/against arguments moot. Or, we could get mushed by the guy that throws in horses because they get hyped on here!

....and who has....she runs here best and its a public workout AGAIN.

Zenyatta is the only one I see as a lock. Horses that I'd toss that may go off at under 5/1:

Intangaroo, Ginger Punch, Albertus Maximus, Munnings, Cost of Freedom

I thought she ran well first time here and I thought she ran a winning race in the Diana. I'm not going to go crazy on her, but I think her best fits here. Mauralakana is going to be tough and I'll have a hard time leaving Visit or Halfway To Heaven off any multi race ticket I play. What about Vacare underneath at a price?

I've given up on Vacare. I had high hopes for her after her three-year-old season, but she's done nothing but disappoint me since.

It's not really debatable that Mauralakana had a significantly worse trip than Dynaforce in the Flower Bowl. Why wouldn't Dynaforce have "accelerated away" from Mauralakana? Soft course or no, that was Dynaforce's best chance to beat Mauralakana, and she took advantage. Good for her, but I don't see a remotely similar setup materializing in this race.

Bejarano on Smooth Air

Manny Cruz out after failing to show up today for 3f blowout.

Zaftig off the shelf.

As they say in South Fulladephia.... "" can someone give me a BOOYAH ""

I Don't Have A Clue, 3 Hours Later, Anyone Else

About tomorrows card. I know I am gonna throw a couple $20's at Be Smart in the 5th, but man I really don't have a clue what to do.

I am just looking out there and hoping I am not the only one. God bless good ole dirt;) Not saying I would do better at the windows of course but man alive this is a puzzle like no other............................................. ......:eek:

I don't think I will be playing too much tomorrow. It's bad enough trying to figure East Coast vs West Coast .. now we have that and the different AW surfaces to contend with.

really put off with the greatest day in racing being turned into the 2 so-so days.

as far as the 5th race tomorrow, Gotta wonder how far C.S. Silk is going to go. Will she set the race up for Stardom Bound. What about Pursuit of Glory?
