Random thoughts... Expect big try from SPANISH CHESTNUT (8-1) in the Gr. III Phoenix @ KEE. Using SILVER WAGON, JUDITHS WILD RUSH and ELUSIVE JAZZ with (8-7-6-1).. TEUFELSBERG could get away and be tough to catch in the Breeders Futurity. STREET SENSE makes sense, and given Biancone's ability to score on Poly, FRENCH TRANSITION (15-1) holds some interest at a price as we try to beat Circular Quay (4-7-3-2-1 as the .10 super players).. At Santa Anita, ARAGORN is obvious, but THAT'S AN OUTRAGE (30-1), SALTY HUMOR (30-1) and WILD BUDDY (10-1) could make the exotics fun to try (3-8-2-6-)..


We're off to Belmont withe Ateam and Pais.. Randall, Dell, Betsy and many more expected to be on hand!

Enjoy the day.. Good luck!

Steve.....
 

Are you just trying to be the chalk with a bit of a price, or do you really feel Super Frolic has a chance to be Lava Man, what is your reasoning there? Cuz I know you've liked Super Frolic before, just sticking with him?

Mc,

Super Frolic may be one of those horses that does his best running at a certain point in the year or campaign.. '05 BC Classic set him on his ear, and trip to Dubai was likely ill-advised.. Signaling his return to form lately and offers serious challenge to Lava Man at square price. Think he wins.. Note the significant weight Lava is giving as well...

Steve....
 

Can't argue with any of that logic, you make a fine case for Super Frolic, great point about the weight. Still I find it hard to go against Lava Man, he's just been so impressive, and this strategy of not giving him a CD prep, may just prove to be a smart move on BC day. Thanks for the response though, good luck today.

Silver Train missing the board?? That's kooky talk! I respect the attempt to beat him, but this is his home track!! Good luck!

I like the Balletto pick a lot.. one of my keys today.

Zip,

If she can't do it here with this pace scenario, I don't know where she will...

Be sure to use Sweet Symphony with her.. Mott would NOT run her in this spot if he wasn't 100% sure of her ability to compete. Note her big try off long layoff in the Rampart v. Oonagh and the readiness signals from the scintillating a.m. efforts.. Addition of Jara doesn't hurt either.. Will be 10-1..

thanks for the heads up... good luck today!

and look out for Old Dodge(BRZ) in the Shadwell.. not only could he get a piece at a price, but he could take this race.
