6/9 (BEL): $930k C/O Discussion/Contest

[lemoncrush]

I'd like to take a shot with a budget ticket, but it does look tricky after looking at the pp's for about an hour. I could see no horse paying more than $12, but still being really difficult to string the 6 winners together.

my feelings exactly

Nice to see a complicated sequence, I don't see an odds on favorite that is going to be below 8/5.

Couple keys to this sequence as I see it.
1) Will a speed duel set up in the 8th and set up Starforaday?
2) Finding the winner of the 6th, horrendous yet one of the most challenging races I have ever handicapped

1) Will a speed duel set up in the 8th and set up for Starforaday?
2) Finding the winner of the 6th, horrendous yet one of the most challenging races I have ever handicapped

1) Starforaday doesn't need a speed duel to win, he never has, which is what makes him so dangerous as opposed to other one-run closers. Either way, West Coast Flier looks like the clear speed to me. Be Bullish might go as well, but WCF is faster early.
2) It's pretty tough, but Hooligan's Delight actually looks like the closest thing to a single on the card for me. It's a dreadful group, and he actually did a little running last time, tracking a fast pace and appearing beaten at the top of the stretch, getting checked and still running on to be second. The cutback should be up his alley, and the outside post should allow him to track Showme Zealous and perhaps Tudor King.

I like Showme Zealous as a price play. His maiden race was good relative to these and it looks like he is bred for the lawn. Trainer has positive lawn stats.

It's not noted on the overnight or DRF, but Crescent Moon Dr (7th) will have blinkers ON....hopefully psychosis off. For what its worth.

When they drew for this, did they know about the carryover?

Nice pic - that whole album is really disturbing.

West Coast Flier is big time speed-of-the-speed on the pace figs. I think he's a good single.

I'd probably use 2,3,9 in R6.

Its in honor of his Ali like return

Right now, I am 9,10 (A), 7 (B), 1 (C)

What do you see in the 2 and 3?

While we all know ole Rudy is up to something with his godly numbers, I can't use that horse in that spot, not even as a 'C'. While I hate to try and think that jocks will use some common sense, I don't see him clearing in that race.

3's dropping and getting blinkers - feels like he has shown enough early in his races to be competitive vs. these bums. 2's dropping and clearly they think he's a turfer. . . Obviously I'd love to have more coverage, but if I actually play this thing I'm not dropping too much in that leg. I'd rather have the lightly raced ones and hope one takes to the distance/surface.
