I thought this was intriguing...

Anyway, as for Girolamo..... Godolphin never seems to rush there horses and off of 3 fairly easy races the fact that they are talking Classic tells me this horse is really good and has room for improvment still.

He could. Perfect running style to pull what many would consider a shocker, but I wouldnt. I'd actually bet Aweome Gem to win if he goes.

Girolamo would be a better play and I doubt he would be under 10-1.

I doubt very much Girolamo goes. 10/1, maybe. Depends on who else goes. I'm thinking more like 6/1-7/1 though, which is still really good if you like.
Awesome Gem will be no lower than 30/1 if he goes.

I highly doubt they run him in the classic and all all depends who goes, my point is... I would take 10-1 on Girolamo over 30-1 on Awesome Gem... I doubt its really going to matter... The 2 Euros look really tough, Rip and Master.

Gander and money are easily parted.

I just got some inside info from a Dter.... Hockey2315 told me Music Note might go in the Classic, and she cant get beat if he does. He said she will improve off her 107 Beyer last out and win it for fun. He says she will LOVE the distance.

Just like she loved 10F when she couldn't get by Proud Spell in last year's Alabama?

I was a big fan of this filly last year, from the time she won a NW1X allowance at Belmont last May. IMO, she was better last year. Her Beldame win over Unbridled Belle was fairly ordinary (I don't care what the figure was), and she won a five-horse Ballerina in which neither Indian Blessing nor Informed Decision did much running.

I never said I liked her... I was just reporting what I was told. As for her being better last year, I get your point, but I think most would strongly disagree, her last 2 races were back to back career tops. Faster then anything she did as a 3yr old.

I dont agree at all. I thought her last race was very ordinary by her standards. Her win at Saratoga was awesome but I think a lot of it had to do with track condition and the fact that Informed Decision just isnt a dirt horse.

Im a beyer guy, the 107 was a career top. I think her top as a 3yr old was a ordinary 102? If that high....

I agree with you for the most part, on everything you say, especially the bolded. But I thought Music Note's 2nd to Proud Spell in the Alabama was terriffic and probably her best race ever.

Steve, you cannot ban this guy. I used to watch Comedy Central and post on here at the same time. Now, I can turn the tv off.
