![]() Am I the only one that thinks that Irap may be getting good right on cue, for connections that know how to do this, and will be able to make his own trip?
That, to me, is the one that if I don't play, and it pays $56, will be saying out loud that I should have had it. Am I crazy?

Some of these HAVE to be higher for the line to balance. Moving IWC and Always Dreaming both to 8-1 makes it much more reasonable. Here's my attempt: Horse ML Odds Girvin 12 Classic Empire 5 Gormley 20 Irap 20 Irish War Cry 6 Thunder Snow (IRE) 15 Always Dreaming 8 Gunnevera 15 Practical Joke 15 J Boys Echo 20 State of Honor 25 Conquest Mo Money 20 Tapwrit 25 Malagacy 40 Hence 20 Fast and Accurate 50 McCraken 8 Battle of Midway 25 Patch 30 Battalion Runner 25 |

By Steve Andersen http://www.drf.com/news/reach-world-...k-euthanized-3 ARCADIA, Calif. – Reach the World, fourth in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby on April 8, was euthanized on Saturday after suffering severe injuries to his right foreleg in a workout at Santa Anita. Reach the World was nearing the end of a team exercise when he was stricken. Jockey Martin Garcia was able to pull up Reach the World, who was vanned off. Garcia was not injured. Trained by Bob Baffert for Don Alberto Stable, Reach the World was considered a candidate for the Belmont Stakes on June 10. Reach the World had his stakes debut in the Santa Anita Derby. By Tapit, Reach the World was bred by Don Alberto Stable and had one win in four starts, a maiden race at 1 1/16 miles on Feb. 4 in his second start. Reach the World was second to Battle of Midway in an optional claimer on March 9 before finishing 1 1/2 lengths behind Gormley in the $1 million Santa Anita Derby.

![]() In the DRF:
Shirreffs said that Royal Mo wouldn't be on the plane to Kentucky (with Gormley) because he needed four to exit to get in........he didn't think that would happen. Of course two took a hike soon after,so I wonder if there's a plan B. ![]() Last edited by taxicab : 04-24-2017 at 12:49 AM. |
