Dank by the length of the tote board in the F&M Turf.

Wise Dan is easily the best single. His race last time was far more impressive then people giving him credit for, being wide the entire race, against a loose lead short stretch cluster**** of a race.

At the very least, the loss will hopefully make people spread a little more in that race, when nothing is needed besides him.

My 'Lahudood' selection of 2013 is My Conquistadory in the Juvy Filly Turf.

Babies dicey as 'most likely', but Chad Brown's J-Turf/JF-Turf runners sure look imposing: Bobby's Kitten & Testa Rossi..

Its just so hard to put any confidence in any of the Juvy races because of the Lasix off rule. Its maddening.

Did it really have any impact last year other than Casse saying one of his horses bled and Baffert doing the same?

Its impossible for any of us to know if it 'really' made a difference or not, but we all have seen tons of horses move up first time lasix after not running on it (see KMC's numbers first lasix after horse has run without it).

For me personally, none of the Juv races get any action. Breeders Cup races are hard enough, don't need another wrinkle on a day with plenty of other opportunities

Tom..

Looking at the main track juveniles, who you'd expect to generally be more of a concern than the turf runners, last year saw Shanghai Bobby take the boys as the 3-2 favorite and top choices Beholder (4-1)-Executiveprivlege (3-2) run 1-2.. so 'form' certainly held.

I agree with Steve. Bobby's Kitten for me. Sure has looked super impressive.

I agree with this.

I agree. Thorograph loves the race too. Got a -2.25, which is about his career average.

Not to mention the "weatherproof" Polytrack was an absolute mess that day.

I find it hard to believe he will be overlooked. Maybe 4-5 instead of 3-5.

The Turf Sprint starts in the chute and they run downhill, cross the dirt at the bend and then finish on the turf (well duh). I just think horses who haven't run here before are at a slight disadvantage. I don't know who I like yet but, in this race, it'll be between the horses who have won here.

Good luck. He's a nice horse... just not for next weekend.

It's possible but, Romantica Euro form looks at least as good as Dank's Euro form.

I agree. I did not think much of Dank's Euro form when she came to Arlington, and in hindsight, did she explode - yes - exploded away from Gifted Girl and Ausus...

Romantica's win in the Prix Jean Romanet is the best form line between the two horses.

Especially with the way she was herded out at the top of the stretch.
