And Solis is better? I agree that both have had their moments, but they both fit certain horses now. Solis does not fit Daytona. It pains me to tout against Daytona because he has been so good to me (nailed him singled on the end of pick threes for Del Mar, Hollywood and SA wins for 4 figure scores) but I am telling you, go back and see what Solis did with this horse when he rode him, and then look at the difference when Smith rode him.

Daytona will not win with Solis on his back. I really hope that Smith rides him when he comes to Arlington because he will win the Million if he does

started from post 13 in the HB. had a rough trip in the La Derby, too, and only got beat 3-4 lengths by a very good horse (Peace Rules).

I agree. I'm hoping she's undefeated heading into the Ky Oaks, where I will UNLOAD against her. The Churchill stretch will cause her to drop anchor and another bomb will win.

It's going to take a serious effort for Euroears to go 6 for 6 on Saturday.

I was mostly kidding. Solis has killed me more times than I care to remember with bad rides, but lately he's been surprisingly above average. May just be on the main track, though, as I can't remember him getting me a horse home on the lawn in a long time.

Even if she runs 2nd here they will bet the **** out of her at Churchill

I'd be more than happy to see that happen, too. She should win again on Saturday which just moves it one step closer to her being unbeaten and insanely bet on Oaks day.

She's definitely not my favorite.

Tale of Ekati has never won beyond 7 furlongs, nor around two turns. He's coming off a big layoff and they select this race for the return?

Same scenario for Majestic Warrior.

Yeah, they both look like rush jobs with the KD in mind.

I can tell you this, if you find the winner of the turf race (Race 7), you will be able to get 35/1 or 45/1 on the Pk4, with Pyro (3/5), Indian Blessing (2/5) and Grasshopper (1/1). Good value as long as Daytona loses. How I would do it

Grasshopper($4.80)/Daytona($6.40)/Indian Blessing($3.40)/Pyro($3.80) paid $45 per $1 last time

If you find the winner and you can turn a bunch of chalk 'locks' into 45/1, not bad

Why are you conceding the race to Grasshopper? I'm not saying he isn't the likeliest winner but what if he doesn't get the same perfect trip he got last time?

and how will you beat daytona . solis is not the answer.......

Daytona looks too good to be true.

tha tagg runner may do it ..

He or Proudinsky are the logical other horses. Not a very compelling field that's for sure.

buffalo man... pyro is not a lock.
grasshopper and indian blessing are

mag graduate ..2nd off the layoff first blinks..take it to the bank..and prado..

you can count on robbie fng up one ride..maybe two.. and who knows if allday wil be in town..:eek:

I keep trying to convince myself that Encaustic will upset.
