Scav, Da Skill says mid 80's and dry, so I go with the top weather handicapper in the country. It's like he makes the weather Morning Lines and others follow. Looking forward to a great day of racing.
I like being prepared.

Is this the European odds Brock? No doubt the Euro's always go off higher over here.

Somewhere, I hope The Tin Man read that post and laughed...

Why is that? This horse burns on the front end and runs them off their feet early by opening long leads or is able to ACCELERATE once headed late. If I remember correctly, The Tin Man got good setups, set slow paces, and won the cheap way.

You really need to watch of few of PP's races; especially the last one at MTH. Might wake you up.

Da Skill is unbelievable. I have been messing with Jerry Taft lately, only because of Giangreco sports reports are great but for important days, I rely on Skilling.

I was skeptical of him when I moved up here in '05, but I'm convinced he is much the best.

Arlington has an error on their website - Mr. Sidney wasn't even close to being first in the Met - he was 11th.

Ross Graham also said on Friday's video that he just received a phone call and that Forever Together was going to scratch from the Diana for the Bev D.
I wouldn't rely on there information.

Damn, hottest day of the year. It's been such a cool summer that sometime had to give. Better than rain I suppose.

Lucky for me I can tolerate the heat much more than the cold and wet.

Gloria De Campeao won in Singapore when it was high 90s and humid as anything...don't think the weather will affect him.

If the turf is on the firm side you know who that favors 4th place finish recently, apparently he wants firmer ground so hopefully he will get it at Arlington.

I couldn't agree more with your assessment of PP. I just was commenting that The Tin Man almost won two Millions in a row on the front end.
