Why no love for Cupid? (couldn't resist)

But, seriously, I would be all over Cupid at 30-1. Would be happy to get 12-1.

I think Cupid will run a big race today,he seems capable enough.
He has alot going for him:
He's tearing it up in the morning.......always a good sign for a Baffert runner.
Baffert doesn't ship them cross country unless they're razor sharp.
And it's not like Baffert doesn't have a history of doing well with fast/classy/well bred 3yo's when they get good......
Cupid's the morning line third choice @ 5-1......that's probably what he'll close at.
I think I'll play him....

Off that bias aided dressed up win at mountaineer.....good luck with that. Maybe review the fast track form of Nyquist and Gun Runner before you dive too deep

I'll carry Nyquist in the P-4(along with Cupid/Sunny Ridge),but I can't do anything with him in the Win/DD/P-3 due to his short price.
Gun Runner might be the wise guy mover.......value might not be there,I don't like him anyway.
And speaking of track biases,Gun Runner benefitted immensely from strong inside/front end biases @ the FG in the Risen Star/La. Derby.
Cupid will be a square price in all the pools......he's good enough for me.

If the two also rans in the travers go 1-2 in the Penn Derby, does that mean Arrogate destroyed a meh field in the travers?

I'm having some trouble with the PA derby results.

consider this group

Nyquist - winner of BCJ, Kentucky Derby, Fla derby, San Vincente, Best Pal
Exaggerator - winner of SA derby, Preakness, Haskell, 2nd in kentucky
Cupid - winner of The Rebel, VW derby, Indiana derby


THERE IS SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT THEM NOT BEING IN THE MONEY AT ALL

61-1 shot Wild About Deb returned $21.20 to show, In earning her first grade I-placing,


WHAT HAPPEN HERE ?

Trainer Steve Asmussen was pleased with the way Winchell Thoroughbreds, Three Chimneys, and Besilu Stables' Gun Runner raced, but confessed he was thinking bigger for the son of Candy Ride , who finished third in the Kentucky Derby, winner of LA derby, Risen star..
"He's such a nice horse. He ran a solid race and beat the horses that beat him in the (Kentucky Derby)," Asmussen said. "He was second, but I kind of planned on winning today."
Nyquist's owner Paul Reddam had no immediate explanation for the off-the-board finish by his Derby winner and wasn't sure a Breeders' Cup start would be realistic.
"The winner ran well and we didn't have any apparent excuse," Reddam said. "We'll have to check the horse over and make sure that he's (well) and we'll work from there. That was definitely the worst performance of his life, so that's not how you want to go into the Breeders' Cup. Maybe it'll somehow look different tomorrow, but I'm not sure how


these results are very odd

how does a 61-1 shot get past all the grade 1 winners
