Sunday-Oaktree Race 5

Cal Bred filly (Velvety Smooth) will hopefully be in this trifecta,and could win it.She had the worst post and the rail was out(usually intimidates a closer stuck on the rail like she was) the last time she ran down the hill.She is a definite horse for course (late closing sprinter.)If she gets blocked,can probably still fill out the super.15-1 morning line.Will probably get bet to 5/1-7/1(hopefully not.)

Del Mar Cat freaked wide at the apron,and my filly freaked in reponse to it.I'll play her back.

Kev was all over the winner. Hes the man when it comes to turf.

Yeah,a very average filly.That's what happens when guys f up rides left n' right,and Valdivia doesn't.She had an o.k. 2nd down the hill.

Seems like those kind of races are very hard to ride in. You either get great trips are titanic like trips. Who do you like in the 8th Scuds?

I have bet 2 down the hill turf sprints since the meet started and that makes me 2 for 2, as I caught Early Anna at 8-1 on Friday.

Yeah,hard to ride down that hill (because of that apron.)Your dead if you're behind a horse who freaks.Your horse will go wide and just stop.You lose momentum,and it's over.I like the # 8 Celtic Sword.If I can have another,I would take Richebourge.Would use longshot Deputy Kris if I could take 3.

I was looking at Railroad with Gryder. Doesnt seem to be a heck of a lot of speed and I know he likes to send. Wouldnt be the worst stab in the world in a race full of question marks. Good luck.

Could win,but I need a better rider.

I like Osidy

Gander · #11 10-01-2006, 06:17 PM

Nice call with Osidy. My horse Railroad ran pretty good but was never a threat to win. Would have been nice if he at least got 2nd.

TitanSooner · #12 10-01-2006, 06:19 PM

Railroad ran very good considering how slow they went on the front end.. (22+ down the hill is pretty slow)

Gander · #13 10-01-2006, 06:24 PM

Yes, I was surprised Gryder didnt have him on the lead, especially with Richiebourg breaking dead last and never being a pace threat. Oh well.
