It's always easy at 7:00 when the race goes off at 5:00.

wow!

this is one of those days everything came in and i didn't go to the otb or track

touchdown peyton in the 2 mile race , and Gotcha Gold

of course if this "bad luck" continues this should mean that lava man will infact win tommorow and my only bet of the weekend will pay out less than i invested...

15-1 !

Gotcha Gold is a nice horse! 9 furlongs was certainly the factor every critical eye was concentrating on but 15-1!

it is worse than a bad beat , a few no-bets and they pay huge

i wish things came as easily to me as they do to you.

IMO, this is probably the overlay of the year so far. He not only beat Lawyer Ron over the track last out, he was MUCH the best, doing all the work setting an insane pace and holding on.

well, yeah, sure, now you say it 10 hours after!

anyone who thinks this horse was a big overlay is guilty of redboarding!

I am from Jersey but did not bet the race, had I not been getting my Butt kicked at the SPA I might have played but would have boxed the winner with Master Command and Papi so I wouldn't have cashed any way. In the finale at the Spa I was live to the 4 & 6 and was too busy thinking about that to really focus on the Islen.

Anyway my take on what people were thinking is that:

When he beat Lawyer Ron and lets not forget he barely hung to win and he was the LONE speed on a Speed Favoring track.

I think people thought that there would be a battle for the lead and Gotcha Gold would not actually be on the lead.

The real question is which BC race should the connections enter him in The Sprint, The Classic or the 1 mile & 70 Yards?

When your two favorites are Master Command and Papi Chullo and u have a horse that just beat Lawyer Ron last time and u are getting better odds on him this time, u have to take a shot. Unfortunately, I didn't make it to book in time. I wouldn't have picked him to win the race but I surely would have bet him. I cannot ever bet Papi Chullo. He didn't get better with any trainer change. He got better with the competition level change. Put back in against stakes horses, and he's still the same horse. When he's one of the favorites, it tells u just how wide open the race is.
