About as good a field for this category you would see outside of the BC Mile.

[SniperSB23]

Wow, that is pretty loaded.

[declansharbor]

Shaped up to be one of the best races of the year so far. I don't even know which way I'll be playing it. Can't wait for this one...

Without looking at a Form, PG1985 posts his lock for the race in

[Scav]

your right phil, that race is LOADED.

any chance we see Firm that day or is the weather still retarded?

[Scav]

I just had a write up for each horse and f'n lost it. you guys get nothing now

[booner]

Absolutely loaded. VERY good field.

30%-50% chance of T-storms starting early tommorrow morning and continuing throughout the weekend. Doesn't look good for a firm course. I'm thinking yielding at best.

[zippyneedsawin]

wow.. nice field... especially for this time of year.

Yes, the Jacksons are in the process of looking for a stallion home for him, most likely overseas.

Is that off the top of your head, or did you look at a Form?

[The Indomitable DrugS]

What do you think?

He's got Rough And Ready 50/1 - even though he's a Pletcher runner who's 4-for-4 lifetime on the turf - with three of those four wins coming by margins of 5.5 lengths or more.

I think Scavs future as a linemaker is about as bright as mine as a song writer.

Top of my head....I just made them messing around.

Drugs, I did it because the horse is way outclassed....

[The Indomitable DrugS]

I know Scavarino - I know.

But you did say "let's see how close I can get to the ML odds" ... even if you (or an ML maker) have a knock on a horse or don't like it's chances - the ML makers job is to assign horses odds based on what he believes they will close at.

Well, IN MY WORLD, I assign what they should close at

I'll be sure to clarify if I am speaking of Scav's world or real world.

Love the addition of 'arino', a good touch

Is 8/1 realistic on War Monger, I have a little fun with him in this race if those odds can hold true, want to rewatch his last race at SA to see what happened there.

Thanks man.

But I'd say it was a bit of a 'bounce' after my James Taylor lyrics tweaking epicocity.

[brockguy]
