Only ITM 50% (2 of 4 at 10f) and honestly I just dont put much into his effort at CD because that race was just too ****ed up with Chestnut going 45 1/5, 1:09 2/5 early...

He's not fast that fast, but I believe the pace will be hot. He won't regress off of that last race fig, he's already hit that level before, there's no reason to see a regression.

Appreciate the info Mwind, even if you are a Bengals fan

. Maybe Giac-strap can get up for the show but I'm leaning against. Sun King's my closer!

If the Bengals lose Sunday, that pretty much means Baltimore wins the Division...

Merrill Hoge lives around here and does a weekly radio program, he said the Steelers are still going to win the Division....

P DRIFT is the more consistent price horse for the exotics.I don't think he needs the hot pace,and he has been top 3 in every race he has had here.9 starts..1 win..3 seconds,and 5 third place finishes.

Giacamo has looked great all week. I'll box him with Bernardini.

I'm a "die-hard" STEELER fan, but Merril's comments are a longshot, like Giacomo winning the Classic. Last week's lost to Oakland was the back-breaker. Ben shouldn't have played and he might end up like Merrill, with a short career from too many hits to the head.

Look guys...

I'm well aware that Giacomo is slow, yada yada yada... but IMO, this horse has looked amazing working and I'm impressed. It'd be another upset if he won, but I just can't leave him off of my tickets.

If Giacomo wins I may quit the racing game, permanently. I almost did when he won the Derby and he upset my Closing Argument/Afleet Alex exacta box.
I was cursing up and down that afternoon...I can only imagine if he wins the Classic. Girlfriend will likely send me out for a few days.

He messed up my exacta box as well, BUT if there's enough pace up front, he has a legit shot.

Yeah, there would be nothing worse for the game than to see owners who actually kept their Derby winner in training for a 4yo season be rewarded with a BC Classic win.
