Dynamite edition of the Miesque and am anxious to see Internallyflawless go. Had hoped to get her into the Juvy Filly Turf at the Cup. Won't be priced as attractively here obviously, but she has the makings of a really nice runner. Will be able to play this race on ATR Friday along with the Clark..

Maybe I'm missing something, and I know there are a lot of savvy handicappers on this forum, so I will ask the question:

What am I missing in this race today, because it looks to me like Whatsthescript towers over these and if I can get anwhere near the 5/2 on the morning line, I should unload?

Any thoughts on this race are appreciated. Thanks.

Exactly what I was thinking. 9/5 is the highest, probably closer to even..

He can win though I wouldn't "unload" my wallet considering Hyperbaric is a serious contender in here and he'll be twice the value.

Thanks to all. I guess will play him as a single in the P3 and P4, and then box him in the exacta with those horses you mentioned. Good luck, and thanks for the insight.

But today, breaking wide, with Samyn leads me to believe he'll be coming from off the lead. Whatsthescript can absolutely win, but I can't be him to win.

I thought Lord Admiral was a bit interesting at a price.
Many will look at Whatsthescript's 3rd to Goldikova in the BC Mile and think wow that was quite the performance, however that was a well beaten 3rd and though Goldikova is a special horse, Kip Deville was a clear 2nd in that race. Again I respect Whatsthescript but to me it was a bit of suck up for 3rd in the Mile, he sure can win today, but I'm not sure he is the best bet per say of all of the races today.

And again you don't need Hank Goldberg to tell you Whatsthescript can win today.

Any thoughts on Emmy Darling? More I look at it, the more I like. Any chance getting 3/1 on her?

I've always liked W-T-SCRPT, but I didn't care for that last race. Maybe GOMEZ was too confident, and gave him too much to do (to come from last off a pace that looked like the front horses were being very cordial with each other.) I didn't care for that track though. They obviously slowed it down so even a parasite like 'Code could get up in the sprint. He may not have cared for it. He likes this track. Has a cheater trainer, and the best money jock. He probably looks like himself today. He has more speed than what he showed the other day(again a sign he didn't like the track that day). Kip didn't look himself either (that day.) If he is mid-pack full of run, then he's himself again. Hate to take low odds against 4 horses who haven't run on the course before. Also, Ferneley could be a horse for the course. I could do without the race. I hate a race like this. So little reward. We hem n' haw about a horse who will pay nothing.

I do like Emmy Darling today and think you just may see 3/1 or better in that field.

Ferneley and Hoss's longshot I looked at after he mentioned it, I'm not sure of either judging by their last races I used both past p's and video to see incase I missed anything, the favorites would have to throw a clunker in my opinion if they were to win. Formal Decree you have to give a chance to off his last 2. I tried getting creative but I couldn't make a case for anyone else in here.

1-10-9 here.

I should mention Rebellion also, but isn't he a poly horse and not a turf horse? 2nd in the BC d mile however 6-7 maybe his better trip?

With the scratch of Galantas, I'll adjust with a tri key of Formal Decree on top of Whatsthescript and Medici Code

I think Pretty Katherine is gonna run better today than people think. I think she has a big chance at boxcar odds.

11.63 penultimate 1/8th
10.95 last 1/8th

while Goldikova ran 12.03 and 11.03 for the same splits.

of course, she ran a lot more earlier (though she was pulled around the track, as she was drafting) so, yeah

this was a SUCK UP effort.

Not saying he has to win but let's, at least, interpret his last race correctly.

P.S. he also didn't change leads in the lane.
