Indy so you won't see her racing for much longer before she retires to be bred...I say at the end of this season regardless of what happens....
I'm with you 100% on Happy ticket, she is a special mare. I would like to see Happy win a few more of those fights, but she is a pleasure to watch. I'm giving Indian Vale a mulligan, thinking maybe she didn't like Belmont like she didn't like Philly Park last year. I also thought she was the best coming into this year, and I think she will be vindicated. We already know she loves Saratoga, and Churchill, and 2 turns. I know she spit the bit pretty bad in the last out, but Take D'our proved last out that she is a possible force in the Distaff division, although I'd like to see her transfer those Belmont races somewhere else.

I really think Tour D' ur will prove to be a one-turn specialist...I can't see her wiring top-class fillies and mares around two turns....not gonna happen and I can't wait to bet against her when she stretches out around two turns because I know she will take a lot of money off of her recent form....she is purely a niche horse, which doesn't make her a bad horse...she has really blossomed nicely but I think her run is about up....

Don't know how bold this is, but Lava Man will go undefeated the rest of the season (even against FA) and take the older horse division and HOY.

I personally think the sprint division will be the most exciting this summer/fall. TMB, LITF, HH...I might give the edge to TMB for the BCS.

Now that I've used up my daily allocation of acronyms, it's back to my thesis. 10,000 words due by tomorrow...gaaah.

Well, yesterday I predicted they would set a new track record in the CD 9th at 7.5f. It happened. BFD. Bought a coke and a couple of Twinkies this morning. Still cost $2.

It says bold predictions doesn't it? Watch out for that horse at 6F. I guess saying Pletcher will win a BC race is really bold.

I doubt he runs 6F anymore anyway (the guy's pretty clever).

He will be a very good horse going 7F to a mile. Should be @ his best (for money earned purposes) going two turns up to 9F.

Only one or two sprinters a year make any serious money.
Now that is bold....you won't be able to van Henny Hughes 9 furlongs....write that down right now..

Lava Man will lose his best friend when he has to travel away from the West Coast just like he did last year.....nice horse though....

I predict Minister's Bid will win the Travers, I have been a big fan of his since his debut and boldruler, I remember you saying everyone knew about this horse: How did he go off at 10-1 in his debut, if everyone knew about him?

With the exception of Bullish Luck (and I say that only because who knows what will happen with SW and Vengeance of Rain - although he's doing nicely in his recovery), there will be a changing of the guard at the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong races at Sha Tin this year..... out with the old, in with the new. No surprise with Super Kid retired, Best Gift and Russian Pearl (still) injured.

Their names are Armada and Bulldozer.

Armada... worked his way up quickly gaining those precious HK points. Unbeated and in the final Sha Tin race of the season (the Sha Tin Mile Trophy) defeated All's Well to take the Most improved Horse Award (he deserved it). Size trains..... undefeated (6 out of 6).

Bulldozer..... a little different but worked his way up from Class 4 to Class 2 (3 wins, 1 place out of 7 starts). Trained by Yip..... he fights and fights and shows heart every time. Lovely horse and imagine the headlines! Bulldozer Crushes the Field.
