Well with such expertise on the sport.......can you please tell us why you "don't like" Officer Rocket in this race? You sound very confident. Might I ask what your opinion is based on?

Well it is easy to pick against 1 horse in such a large field. But I will give you my reasoning as to why I do not like him in this spot. I think the distance is going to be a little too far for him. I also do not think his race at Arlington was all that good. It was 1 mile in the slop and he dead heated for first to Got The Last Laugh. His Iroquois race was not all that spectacular. He is facing some good horses in here with Xchanger and Birdbirdistheword.

Well, In reply to your Arlington qoute, I see that your "Top 4 2 y.o." pick was Street Sense.......Well, enough said. We know who lost to Officer Rocket's lousy performance in that race! As far as the Iroquois, you do know that the horse flipped his soft palate in the race and has since had a myectomy. That MIGHT explain his fifth place finish. Also, have you seen his latest works? His last work was three-quarters in 1:11 and change.

No, not at all. I am just giving my 2 cents! Nothing personal. I love to read this message board......don't post very often unless I feel that something needs further explanation. We'll all see how this turns out tommorow.

He's actually my choice for the win in there, so I'm with ya on this one.

First of all the race at Arlington was in the slop and there is no way i would ever take Street Sense in the slop. But yes, he is my top 2 year old. But the slop is not for him. The race was not that good at all in my opinion for any of the horses involved. I know he flipped his soft palate and had the myectomy. His works have been ok. I like how you mention just one work. He also worked 6 furlongs in 1:16 and 5 furlongs in 1:01 as well. I think that the distance is what is going to get him. We shall see come Saturday.
