I've never liked this horse for any race, but will be using him on Saturday.

I'm going to be using him too. Mike Welsch reported that he worked exceptional and that he's liked him all week. Good enough for me. Plus I had him in the Belmont when he won. Drossy owes me nothing and I'm a big Distored Humor fan.

I’ll begin to handicap in earnest tomorrow, so all I have right now are largely sentimental favorites and hunches (some might argue that that’s ALL I usually have, but this is in esoteric so what the hay).

In the Marathon I like two horses to surprise, Meeznah and Pleasant Prince.

Juvy Turf: Finale.

The Sprint: Giant Ryan and Jackson Bend, with Aikenite in the mix just because I’m a fan of him and of Cot Campbell.

Turf Sprint: Regally Ready and Chamberlain Bridge, if he can overcome the outside post, and good old longshot California Flag.

The Mile is really interesting, with The Factor, Shack and Wilburn, but I will also put down a bet on Tres Borrachos.

In the Juvy Union Rags, Dullahan and yes, Hansen.

The MILE: You know who, but also Goldikova, and Turallure, and Court Vision for old time’s sake.

The Classic: I'm all over the place. Absolute favorite (real and sentimental) is Havre de Grace. Would love to see Flat Out win for Scooter Dickey, and I believe he's capable. Uncle Mo – I’ve loved him since last year’s Breeders’ Cup win, and he seems fully mended and ready. My longshots are To Honor and Serve and, what's his name . . . Dressaagemeyer? Of course So You Think is a wildcard. But my past experience with wildcards is to get burned, so I’ll stay away – at my own risk admittedly.

Safe races to all.

I'd like to see "Scarface" run well. Might in a little over his head but always liked the horse.

Tossing Mo. He's this year's Quality Road. At least QR had won a couple 1 1/8 races. Mo hasn't even done that.

Fine work...excellent comparison.


At least there is one girly here who knows what she is talking about.

Clydiepoo:

If Drossy wins you owe me a dozen roses. Poop head.

[clyde]

Man.

But fine...and when I announce the winner and when he does win then you owe me 50 Hershey bars.
