corinthian

[jpops757]

I like this horse but this nw/2 might be tougher for him than theJim Dandy would have been. The other horse in nthe entry and Scipon could be tough for no other reason than the age differance. Even if he loses he could have an excuse , tackling older horses.

The guys I live with were saying the same thing. Why not just go to the Jim Dandy. I am not a huge fan.

I can't find the conditions, but my guess is this is a tune-up....why supplement the fee to get into the Jim Dandy

Probably because the race has a $500,000 purse and is a grade 2 and he would have a good shot of running 2nd. Both races are the same distance and he clearly is using today's as a prep for the Travers.

how many of these are coming back off a layoff? not really a bad spot. he'll get something out of the race for sure....and there's no bernardini in the field!

corinithian could turn out to be first rate, while we already know most of the others he'll be facing aren't even second rate.

Yeah, I was curious about that, it costs $5500 to supplement into the Jim Dandy....not that much so I don't buy my theory.

I still think it's a better spot for him, remember how agressive he was, he's been a handful a few times out. I just don't think they want to push him that hard yet.

Well Reverberate, Sir Halory and Scipion are all very good 4yr olds and it is a $53K purse. In my opinion Corinthian will not win that race. I think he would likely finish 2nd or 3rd in the JD, depending on how good Ministers Bid is and there are 450,000 more reasons to run in the JD.

facing off against bernardini et al in his first race back would be tough, and i believe a lot tougher than this allowance, in which he only has to carry 116....it's a good spot to come back in, and i'd rather lose to older than to the preakness winner. payoffs be damned...just look at bellamy road last year, tremendous in defeat and hasn't been seen on the track in the year since!

They wouldnt go down because his entrymate scratched - probably stay the same though around even money
