What is with these 5-6 horse stakes in NY?

no one wants to face Eightyfiveinafifty

No one wants to stay in N.Y.?

Baby, it's cold outside.

Does anybody know/recall why Peppi Knows was scratched out of the Count Fleet a few weeks ago?
I can't remember.

All it says in the DRF is that it was a trainer scratch.

The trainer wasn't able to come up with workman's comp in time and the horse was subsequently scratched from the Count Fleet.

Obviously Eightyfiveinafifty may just run away from all of them, but I feel like I almost have to play this race and bet against him.
An odds-on horse routing for the first time, stretching out 2.5f in the process, with Chop Chop up? I don't know if I can resist going against that....no matter how fast the horse might be.

Is Chavez riding some kind of issue?

NT

On a speed horse I'm fine with him.

I don't typically pay much attention to the jocks, but Chavez is a big negative in my book....especially in longer races.

Oops.

Peppi Knows is a nice horse however.

I didn't realize that nice horses have career top beyers of 74. With other figures of 69, 74, 71, and 52. This horse will be in for 35K at Saratoga this summer.

That horse never goes near Saratoga if he isnt sold.. He isnt horrible and they certainly made a good call buying him. He may get a little better

Mission Impazible had been pointed to this race...what happened to him?

I never herd or read that anywhere, where did you see that? The horse who beat him at Gulf did run and ran like ****.

He is in Florida.

He was in the noms....I just saw he was pointed to the Southwest Stakes at Oaklawn...now someone says he's in Florida.
