Steve,

Why did you decide to dismiss Kiaran's horse in the 7th? I actually took his comments on the show Monday night to be a "ringing endorsement" without so much as saying so. He is usually pretty straight forward. You'll get the old "he probably needs a race" from him when they need one. Numerous times at Saratoga when asked about horses he stated the old "he probably needs a race" and sure enough they did. But I didn't hear that yesterday, and the "I've had him long enough to know he's a nice horse" got me a little excited about getting a little bit of a price. Only thing I didn't like was no Garcia or Bravo aboard, and he looks much better than the one Garcia is riding.

I wavered back and forth about him and Rabatash. It's a very tough race. Waiting for scratches which might help. First pass at the P4 had both the 2 & 3, but I couldn't make the play work. If I play the 4 I'll likely use them. The Godolphin entry looks to be real; I like the two prices (Sensational Humor and Ground Hero); and the favorite while vulnerable, isn't a stiff either. This is why I was so stunned when I came across the race Monday. It's a corker...

agreed, extremely difficult and enjoyable card for an Aqueduct Wednesday. The turfer is particularly hard, I can make a case for just about everyone except the 10.

Think the 9 rates a strong look at a price as well. Might not be good enough to win but can catch a piece at 15-1

I guess Kiaran left out a word on Monday when decribing this horse, he meant to say "I've had him long enough to know he's a nice RANK horse". It was in black and white too, he was rank in 3 of his 4 races overseas. BLAH. I tossed the 5 in favor of him, smooth. Didn't like that he was still for sale after running 3 pretty good ones in his return to the races. With all of the overnights being written in these parts I would think they wouldn't want to risk a useful horse like that. Oh well, onto tomorrow. Good Luck in the remaining two races Steve.

Had a nice win bet on the 5, just the way it has been going for me...
Was the DQ warrented? Did not see the race...
