Why no Thors Echo in the Sprint? Is he skipping for Dubai?

Yeah I knew he got purchased, I didn't realize they shipped him out immediately. What the hell was I thinking with these guys??

well, much as we don't like it, we aren't the only game in town--or in this case, the world.

i don't think TE has actually left yet--but he has to spend time in quarantine before flying out....so we won't be seeing him on the track here-or in training i'd wager, before he goes to dubai.

Is Sabre Baby really running in this race? Pretty ambitious spot. I bet you Go Between gets it done. I dont see Lava Man winning but then again I didnt like him in the Sunshine Millions last year and he proved me wrong.

Proud Tower Too looks like lone speed, almost too good to be true. These are the kinds of race closers win because horses you didnt expect to be sent get sent.

Greaaaat day of racing, I for one can not wait until the next 4 days are over with and I am sitting reading my form on Sat morning with a hot cup of coffee and 3 glazed donuts.

Dang it Gander--I seem to always disagree with you when it comes to Proud Tower Too. I just dont think the horse gets it done here. I agree he is the main speed, but I think he gets caught. I see another 2nd place finish for this horse.

Lava Man - great to see him back. It would be great if he could come close to what he did last year. I could care less where is races. I just want to see him run.

I didnt say I liked Proud Tower Too to win Euro. I said he looked like the lone speed, "almost too good to be true", especially considering he had his tightener off the long layoff and should be set for his A race.
I wont be playing him to win, thats for sure. His odds will be in the 9/5 range and that doesnt cut it for me.
