Eddie Kenneally will win every baby race he's entered in and Andy Serling will become the number one twitterer on the web.

I will be sad to not be there!

A maiden by a first year stallion (probably by Rock Hard Ten because so many have a weird fascination with him) will be the hype horse of the meet.

The Whitney will either be won by Commentator - or a very slow horse.

I won't be shocked if he wins a few. . . trainers change gears all the time - i.e. Zito w/ his babies a few years ago. I just need evidence of such a change first.

why , once you get the evidence isn't it too late?

if he puts over a couple in the 1st week of the meet , then when do you jump on the bandwagon week 2 , week 3 ?

Then what do you do? Blindly guess at who will all of a sudden change their training style? That sounds profitable.

steve created this board for horse players to share opinions , talk about the game , help each other out

i got word from 1st hand sourse that he likes what he has this year, now what does that mean , it may mean nothing he can be wrong and his stock may stink , he may be wrong because he maybe going against other monsters , but maybe this year is his year and he knows he is loaded



but what do stats from last year or the last 5 yrs have to do with his 2 yr olds in the barn this year ..... they are not part of his 3 for whatever the last 5 yrs....maybe just maybe they are all studs and he has them ready , problem is if the 1st couple run well and win and you pass because of stats from other years by the time you and the rest of the public jump in the price is no longer good later on in the meet

Default saratoga predictions

Pmac, I predict that you will have success with your predictions. I further predict that there will be big irish guy at Clancys with a pocketful of money from track winnings, slits for eyes, singing Johnny River songs at an ungodly hour, sucking down pint size drinks.

I predict there will be 36 days of racing. Unless of course, there are not.
