My issue with Paddy O'Prado is that he was given an extremely clever ride by Jesus Castanon (one of the best riders no one knows about in my opinion) and took advantage of an absolutely baked turf course at GP that played kindly to speed and frontrunners. He scorched a ton of money in three starts prior to the Palm Beach and just seems to me like a horse who benefited from circumstances last time out.

He has shown the ability to rate, though, so I think he'll be ok in here.

Is Stately Victor just entered here to toy with me?

You will never live it down if he wins...it will be my sole purpose in life, to remind you of the heckling.

I thought you were trying to dig out, betting this horse isn't going to help that, even if he has been sitting in the hyperbaric for the last 60 days.

haha, yeah that is why Maker wins his races...the oxygen chamber.
It must have been broke down this winter...He is ONLY 20% for the year.
Big drop off from the last couple of years.

Are you saying it isn't a huge part of his program? Lets be clear I am not slamming him, I know he is your boy and I am not about to get into another thread war

a % is a %. You can make it what it is. For example. Doug O'Neil's % is all combined, all those comedy Beulah and CharlesTown wins count towards his %.

The $10K suitcase of cash was bet on Paddy O'Prado at 7-2 (down significantly from the morning line of 10-1).

Aitkenite looks appealing at 6-1 (with Gomez picking up the mount). Also, I do like Pleasant Prince at 6-1.

Kinda happy for Ghostzapper. He just got his first G1 winner. First graded winner too right?

See Shit happens on dirt too and it sucks since I bet 200 on Super Saver.
