Im not a fan of the other major players as much as others. Practical Joke belongs in the Sprint. Im not sure about Pavel at all, his Dandy was good, but he beat nothing at Parx.
3-1 I guess. The layoff is an obvious concern though.

3:1 seems like a horrendous price given you lose if he doesn't run. I'll believe it when I see it, but I don't underestimate Baffert. Anyone else, and I would book him at 8:1.

You're not the only one that thinks that about Joke.

Practical Joke in the mile is frustrating, "the mile" is frustrating, perhaps around 1 turn but these phony mile races at tracks that arent big enough to run a 1 turn mile are silly. The whole year at so many tracks they run 1 1/16, 1 70yd , 1 40yds they get to Nov and they just start the clock 12 seconds into the actual race. I really dont get why its necessary to deceive people

I 100% disagree, but maybe thats because a mile has always been two turns that the tracks I have played.

Agreed on Practical Joke.

So if you've got a fair futures bet at 3-1 on MS, what would you take on Arrogate?

I dont play futures.
Arrogate is under 5-2 @ post time though and im sure hes running.

You can never be "sure" a horse is running.

For better or worst I'm standing with Arrogate. He wires this field.

What does that have to do with you saying you are "sure" he is running in a race a month from now?

anyone betting Drefong at 4/5 should have their head examined, not only is the pace but the track is likely playing against him.

I like Ransom the Moon a bit here, with Roy H a bit.
