I agree...this is a one-time mount for Valdivia should Vacare come back east for the rest of the year as expected. Besides, like Pillow Pants said the money's better in the Met and the chance to get the mount on a older handicap horse is always better.

He rode Kip Deville in his last race and he looks like he could win the Shoemaker. Tough call as it's hard to know what my wife is thinking and I know her a little bit more than I know Edgar Prado.

Talk about sting. I had Political Force on top at 20/1 +. This stings much like the whip Prado put across the face of PF down the stretch!!! Damn.

Sun King just doesnt have it anymore. The horse doesnt have any improvement at all in him. This is sad, as I like this horse. I didnt understand him being 7/2 in this race at all.

I misread this race. I did not think they would go 23 1/5 and 45 3/5 for the half. Since the race was that slow early it eliminated off the pacers Sun King and Silver Wagon.

Thank you. I just didn't understand how Sun King could go off at 7/2 and Political Force (better than SK last out) could go off at odds of over 20-1. Would have been foolish of me to not take a stab with those odds. I know SK's last was a prep for this one, but I just saw PF as a playback.

I guess the discrepancy in the odds probably had a lot to do with the fact that Sun King has a heart the size of the Belmont grandstand......and his famed steely resolve is the reason for his popularity with so many.

In all seriousness, High Finance could have won this race at a fat price....if only he'd been entered.

They only ran .10 faster than the $46k allowance horses the race before. Pretty sad.

Thanks to everyone who talked me off of Half Ours- the pace wasn't right and I don't think the distance was either. . . Silent Name looked AWFUL before the race- the way they were giving him all that water in the stall made me toss him. . . That left me with Corinthian. . . hehehe
