Belmont Race 3-Trippi's Storm

[robfla]

TRIPPI'S STORM = 6-1 ML - His last race at GP in mid-April was one of the most visually impressive races I have seen.

Of course I realize that he is stepping up in class today and facing ALOT Better horses, but this one deserves a play at least in exotics, if not on top. Value is assured as he is facing Lemon Law, sure to go off at odds-on. However Lemon Law seems to have a habit of either just missing of just winning ( see the last four races - all noses ) so he is no lock.

I see this as a wide open affair and will use TRIPPI'S STORM in exacta boxes and in Pick 4's.

Good Luck to everyone today and have a happy and safe Holiday weekend

Yup i'm all over this one. . .

I think he's a trap. Visually impressive, yes, but against much worse. I guess at 8-1 he isn't a bad play but I'm pretty dubious of his chances.

Good luck.

Yes, I realize he was up against MUCH worse. But I also see vulnerabilities in the others, especially the favorite. Sure Lemon Law gets an advantageous jock switch imo. But he also should have won at least one of his last two where he was outgamed in the stretch

There are no stars in here but doesn't the decided lack of pace really work against Trippi's Storm?

Yes, no doubt about the lack of pace. I guess Tiverton will inherit the lead? with Lemon Law sitting the trip. I also think that Trippi's Storm CAN be closer than the last two times he has raced. My feeling is that he was so much the best in his last two he could afford to let the cheap speed run off knowing that they would come back to the field and mow em down in the stretch. If you look at his dirt sprints he can be closer than he was last couple. his January 7f races he was rather close to a dawdling pace and also close to a fast pace ( jan 28 SONGSTER )

[golfer]

He showed alot today.. there was no pace at all, just ran by everybody anyway, like I said last month, this is a horse to keep an eye on.

Nice pick right here. I got smoked in this race

[blackthroatedwind]

That was a terrific performance. I won't be surprised if he's competitive in stakes this year.
