REAL HORSE meeting Good For Nothing Turf Sprinters

[ArlJim78]

First Defence = off the board in the Jaipur.

Pace is a definite problem, but I still think E To D takes it. If he gets him stuck, please throw eggs.

[Bobby Fischer]

Fatboy likes First Defence about as much as he likes Ariel Smith entering the turn...

Pretty safe to say he is betting AGAINST.

Byk should lock this thread up. A friggin thread about a 3-5 shot. Takes real stones to tout a 3-5 shot......fat man must be on a strict diet of chalk bars.

That's right, DOUCH. This thread is about me picking a 3:5 shot. Takes a real sharpie like you to figure that out. Cause, all I do here is give out 3:5 shots.

perhaps, but I see enough question marks to go against for the win.

I'm sorry, then please explain this post.


I didn't " beat up on the Fat Man. " I was just joking with him. It's pretty clear I have a huge amount of respect for his opinion. Just as it's also clear that I thought betting against First Defence was probably a mistake. Win or lose, he's a dramatically better horse than today's competition and he has superior turf breeding ( probably better than dirt ). He wasn't great value at even money but to me you either keyed him or passed the race.

I understand. But, he was the dominent speed, that's all. I know it was obvious.

He was decidedly unimpressive today and even though he won it probably was right to bet against him in retrospect.

I think the 9 True To Tradition has a good shot. 1'st D has a dirt class edge, if that transfers to turf he'll be tough. Can't take the low odds though. I see him getting gobbled up in the stretch and hear the splashing of the bridge jumpers! I'll play a 4-9 exacta box. and a 4,9-1,3,5,6-4,9 tri.
