Let's talk some racing.

Have any sure things next weekend even before the posts are drawn? I have one in mind, and no, it's not that Conquest Mo Money doesn't win another race in 2017, although I feel as confident about that as I do Catch a Glimpse's best races are far behind her.

That's almost as funny as you eating at Jims. Place doesn't even come close to top 5 in the city. Used to like it, but now it's as big a tourist trap as Pat's & Geno's.

My brother opened a bar in the Port Richmond section of the city late last year. Their claim to fame is the "Witorwitowski" which is a keilbasa cheesesteak. Now THAT'S a ****in sammich, brotha. It's a shame you hold that false stigma for this partially beautiful city. I will stamp a GUARANTEE that if you came down and stayed for a weekend that I would forever change your mind about Philly. Try me!
Indeed!

Not sure Mor Spirit should be favored of Sharp Azteca who has shown in tougher races to be a real racehorse, those Grade 3 wins for Mor Spirit are ok but this is a giant stepup

I wonder if Chad is sneaky live in the back five of the Mega-Card ?
He does have a habit of popping with price horses on big days.
Woody Stephens: LHB{5-1} Looked classy as can be in the last 1/8th of the Bay Shore.........LHB & The Money Monster look good.
Just a Game: Antonoe{8-1} The definition of a sneak play,it's all about her Euro form.
In three of her losses a Group 1 winner won the race,including the undefeated(8 for 8 now retired) La Cressonniere.
Antonoe also beat future double Group 1 winning Qemah when she broke her maiden by 6+ lengths.
Met Mile: Economic Model{15-1} CB rarely makes equipment changes,but the hood comes off Saturday(EM was 0 for 4 in blinkers).
Manhattan: Time Test{5-1} Wants firm ground..........badly,was competitive with horses in Europe that are half a pole better than these.
Belmont: Twisted Tom{20-1} Runs on anything,has won on Grass/Mud/Inner/Fast.
Undefeated in blinkers............the longer the better.

Sounds like the Japanese horse will be out due to a leg issue

The Woodford Reserve --- where Chad Brown has 3 going in a turf race and odds are against for even one of them to hit the exacta. Can't imagine seeing that too often!

Songbird hasn't run around one-turn since her 2yo campaign and never a one-turn route. Clutching at straws....

If someone could tell me how Rally Cry is 3rd choice in a Grade 1, i would sincerely appreciate it. Seems to be zero respect for those who ran in the Churchill sprint on derby day. None the less, i think this race falls apart up front and i'm fading Mor Spirit b/c i think his one and only tactic is to hope Sharp Azteca comes back to him, even so, i believe the closers will be getting into the action around that time.
