I like Noble Causeway much better. He is a real racehorse who has just had some unfortunate physical ailments. Andromedas Hero is nothing but a plodder, always ready to pass dead tired horses but never threatening the top 1 or 2.

Wild Desert is going to win this race, absolutely will win it. Dutrow loved this horse last out(I did not, I liked Gouldings who is a very nice horse) and was sure he would win. I got very lucky to have Gouldings get up that day. Wild had to make several moves into the teeth of a fast pace and had to stop and start a few times and was still narrowly beaten. After the race I turned to Lansdon and said man did I get lucky, Wild was much the best.
He needed that start and since then has trained awesomely. He drew the rail which is a HUGE advantage at this distance which starts on a turn. Make sure you key him in your gimmicks.

Wild Desert--nope, he falls short against the pathetic field. A race VOID of speed. Invasor will be tough, but watch out for Noble Causeway.

Euro, Wild is the speed and he drew the one hole. Catch him if you can.

I know, but there is no way, IMO, that he lasts. He has no choice but to go for the lead since he is in the one hole. I think the horse would prefer to be on the outside.

I'm glad you don't like him Tim. Good vibes.

And Mike I think Wild Desert will also run a nice race.

No problem Randall, and dont worry, the Mets will soon be back taking on those NL East slobs soon enough. Clearly exposed these last 3 nights. Good thing for them they have no competition in that poor excuse for a division and for that matter league.

I won't deny that the NL stinks in general....But isn't the goal to get to the World Series and then win it? They have an easier chance to get there and by the time they do, they will have made some moves to be a better team.

Good luck with your play Randall. There is a small tiny chance I may play this race but I doubt it. Going away to Hampton Beach, NH to see some relatives this weekend. There is a dog track which has simulcast of Belmont nearby but that is a longshot. Love the card though. Hit em good.

As far as the Mets go, I am really pulling for them to do well this year. How can you not like that crew? Between now and the playoffs they need to get involved in some tough games, going into the playoffs "soft" is never a good thing. Look at the Cards of 2004 and 2005, and the Mariners the year they won 120 games.
