The track is a lot of speed though and they will have to run to beat the 1,3.
Why can't you just say the horse's name? Seriously, it's irritating as fuc1<.

There are 3 horses in the Hutcheson I'm a fan of but, looking at the pp's, I can't see any of them (or anyone) beating Manicero.

They are quite a few that could win the Hutch but, Manicero is not one of them.

Oh whew thank God you posted this before I was able to actually play him.

There's only a 9 in 10 chance of being right as to who won't win so, while I appreciate your concern (since you obviously have a crystal ball), why not just post your pick?

I usually wait for things like scratches and actual odds before I make my selection.
Capping 2 days before the race is for eliminating horses like Manicero that can't win.

To be fair though sometimes capping 2 days before any given race is because you know you won't have time on raceday.

I won't. I want to play Gulfstream and that was the first one I looked at fully expecting to like who I assumed would do well (and who I no longer think will). A couple of them are vastly overrated.

I look forward to seeing your pick.

So let me get this straight, you said that 'I can't see any of them beating Manicero.'
Now you don't he can win.
I love have discussions with females like you!

You can't escape him. He even made an appearance on the Zenyatta website with this gem, "@Hooves- not cool at all. I work with special needs people and have been accused of being one many times."

I saw someone post that here earlier in the day - I just assumed it was IC trolling as PG '85 on that site.

No, you must share the same bloodlines to say something as stupid as that.

I will be at Gulfstream today and am really excited about the racing program.

Are there any "can't misses" today? I believe we'll see competitive racing throughout the day.

Good luck to all on a great day of thoroughbred racing !!

I don't know what sort of a price you'll get but Achaemenes in the first was thoroughly brutalized in his last, is half to Unrivaled Belle and drops to Mdn 50. He doesn't need to beat much in here, and with a clean trip looks pretty bulletproof.

Thanks. I looked at him - He is probably well meant in here.

In the big races - I really like:

Oh Carole
Madman Diaries
THAS

I'll be in the paddock for the 6th.

Looks like great weather for today...

Hey, thanks for the "heads-up" on #6 in the 1st on SAT

I'm still recuperating somewhat from this weekend - A Great day of racing - equal to a Breeders Cup event in my mind - and I had the chance to see my Knicks beat the Heat last night!!

Achaemenes made my day at FOY 2011- he looked great in the pre-race warmups - like he was "jumping out of his skin" to run - you had to be blind not to bet him - and I made enough on the race to coast the remainder of the day
