FWIW, I think the ones on the Emirates Racing Association are far superior given the depth of the comments, and its been good enough to give me 24% winners from a Carnival averaging 12.36 horses per race. Not to mention, you combine the PPs from the ERA with the lifetime PPs available free for every horse that runs in the UAE...yeah, I'm a fan.

That being said...

You know, Cowgirl, you'll probably end up being the deep closer of the field!

Double for Super Thursday and triple for DWC Day?

I'm not worried about you. I want to say you'll pull a Zenyatta but so this doesn't turn into a problem let's just say you'll pull a Deep Impact!

PatCummings 02-24-2011 11:45 AM

Soumillon has had some awesome rides at the Carnival, but that was a tragedy on Mahbooba. They backed it down incredibly slow and she was going to have to be a beast to run into that dawdle. Any decent American jocks with an ability to read the form and have sense of timing on non-grass surfaces could, IMO, do really well if they went over.

Oh I have a few reasons for liking him... I mean did you see who the favorite is? Okaaaay. CV won't win again, best horse in the field (Mr. Brock) won't win... I don't need to explain my other reasons publically as they're silly :D but I do think he's good off the layoff and Barzalona seals the deal for me. I like Interaction too. Simon aside there's not much in that field.

Air of Grace... oh believe me I know that's a huge longshot but that's my strategy... to play one here cause of this...

There's not a real standout in that field. I know this one doesn't look that great but that was a tough, tough field last time... this one could conceivably win here so yeah... worth blowing a safer bet in one race and this is it. If it were about points for a win no way but hey... imagine the payouts here. Worth a shot!

Good luck to you and to everyone.

Come home safe, kids.

I agree there isn't much in the race - even worse, there isn't much pace, aside from the rail horse. That being said, I think Barzalona's hot hand and ability to read the form will keep in the garden seat and pounce. The form from the UK is beyond solid, especially the win over Arctic Cosmos. If he is 6-1, I'm juiced.
