Wish I had read Haskins BH piece for Saturday Longshots. He had the Classic exacta, Mizdirection, the Sprint tri, and the exacta in the Mile.

Much is said about his "dapple report" in the days and weeks leading up to the Derby, but in 2006 he wrote an article about Premium Tap before the Breeder's Cup Classic. I hadn't considered Premium Tap at all. My strongest opinion was that Bernardini and Invasor were the very best horses and Lava Man was not going to hit the board (original I know). I went back and watched all of Premium Taps races after reading his article and this was the ticket I came up with afterwards:

Bernardini / Invasor, Premium Tap, Giacomo / Invasor, Premium Tap, Giacomo

Obviously after the race was run I wanted to jump off the largest bridge I could find, but I never forgot that Haskin article!

I remember Haskin touting Invisible Ink for the Kentucky Derby. How I ever left Monarchos off my tickets I'll never know.

So much for the great theory we heard all week that horses that made their last starts at Belmont don't win BC races held at SA. Tell that to Shanghai Bobby, Tapizar, Fort Larned, Royal Delta,Little Mike,Zagora. SA -all Baffert all the time.(0-9)

Tell that to all the sand they added to the track to make it more like Belmont.
