Dominican hasnt run on the dirt since they snipped his goods, right?? He has wise guy written all over him. I know I said the same about Notional, but I absolutely love Dominican's stretch running. He has a good amount of tactical speed, enough to keep him prime for the pounce of the pacesetters. A big plus (for me only probably) is that Bejarano stays up.. This kid has the right stuff and it's only a matter of time that he wins a TC race. It may be a biased point of view, but I can see him roping some dead horses in mid stretch. Hopefully he can hit the board as my group of cronies will be keying him (along with CQ) in all three spots..Also, looking for a pricey pick 3/4..Fever's kickin in.

you know, Curlin is starting to sound a little like Bellamy Rd. Who won by open lengths in the Wood then was morning line 3-1. He crept up a little to I think 7-2 then went off at 3-1; I guess. However, BR got hurt, I hope Curlin doesnt get hurt.

I must have missed that race.. Louisiana Derby, fast fractions. Juvenile, fast fractions. Breeders' Futurity, fast fractions. Hopeful, sizzling fractions.

I like Circular Quay as much as the next guy, and I agree that because he has such a strong kick, he's nearly a lock to hit the board, but unless a bunch of jockeys decide to go nuts on the front end, I think he's a tough pill to swallow on top, especially at about 8/1, which he'll be, not 10/1 or 12/1.

This one wil be in my plays, unless his pp is so far out it's useless!

For what it's worth Scav's...Pletcher said ATRAB yesterday that he felt Scat Daddy would gain more benefit of the likely pace scenario than Circular Quay.

He also said that he wants Garret to take Any Given Saturday off the pace, which makes no sense at all to me.

If he goes, Slew's Tizzy will be the wise guy. I would kinda like to see him be the next "big fat horse who likes to run every two weeks".

Although, for the horse's sake I will admit I want him to skip the Derby and whoop some booty in the Preakness. He really is a good looking colt. LOVE that little blaze.

Me either...

A little indecisiveness has crept into Scav's head and it is possible that if I can squeeze 7/1 out of Street Sense, I might move tack to him. I doubt it though.....

Uh oh.

I don't think there is anyway you'll get 7-1 on SS. Then again, I didn't think SNS would be the chalk last year, so what do I know.





Did you really have 40 putts this past weekend? If so, how did your putter survive the round?

I won't touch him at 10/1 plus. I don't think this one will run. If I'm wrong, then so be it. Still with Quay as of now.

I forgot to look at that thread, I had a couple meltdowns, I shot a 49 to open and thought I would break a 100, as the back is easier then the front at my home course but then I busted out an 8(4), 7(3), 3(1),9(4) and just caused all sorts of problems. I did sink about a 20fter for par though that was pretty cool. I got all Chi-Chi on my friends. I am still the guy that thinks he can control a 5w 200 yards into the green, instead of laying up....

Well Scav... you might want to re-evaluate because I'm using the same horses MINUS Circular Quay.

That is why I think SNS was the wisefuy pick last year. Everything I used last year pointed directly at Barbaro and Pletchers Cat. The night before the derby I drank the Kool-Aide and fell for the wiseguy horse. All the talk was that regardless of his PPs Barbaro couldnt win because of some age old tradition. We all know what happened. The best prepared and the best horse won.. To me there are three horses that can be talked about and You could sub there name for barbaros last year, Curlin, CQ and maybe Dominican or SS, This years SNS is AGS. Beware every thing thats being said sounds like all the comments about SNS last year.

Funny Cide.

If Desormeaux didn't forget to turn on his brain, he would have competed with Barbaro to the end, he was loaded for bear until Kent went to the rail and got stopped. I doubt he beats Barbaro, but he at least competes down the stretch IMO

I totally disagree. . . What has SNS shown since the Derby that makes you think he could hang with Barbaro?
