I'm glad I read this thread. I'm looking at Haynesfield now and starting to really like him. He had an excuse two-back when he broke through the gate, and he's getting the exact same spacing Curlin got when he won and ran arguably the best race of his life at Monmouth - race in early August, two months off and then JCGC to BC.

It depends on whether you think Quality Road needs the lead. I don't think he does.

its the same machine they strapped Drago to in Rocky III
the question is who is Rocky in this race??:zz:

He's certainly done far less rating in two-turn races than Haynesfield has.

B/c he's faster

Oh Joe, someday you'll learn. Nothing circular about that. Look to the pace thread Doug started to understand.

Don't talk down to me Rx boy. Haynesfield can't rate except when he's too slow. He'll get burned by the fast pace that he's too slow to keep up with. Quality Road can rate off the fast pace. He doesn't usually because he's too fast.

Ok, I get it now. I am only using two horses in that race, Lookin at Lucky and Blame, but it isn't one of my preferred betting races so I will be light within the race unless the day is going really really well.

Look to the pace thread Doug started to understand.

Lucky is very dangerous in this race. He can steal this off Blame and Zenyatta

look at the performance figures at chef-de-race.com
the top four are fairly evenly matched

How does that work? What do you look for?

You look at the word dosage and close the browser.

:tro:

Oh, I don't know about that.

I'd certainly like to know what dosages the trainers of these horses are going to be using.

knowledge is power
its another tool Dr Romans picked this years derby winner and has several times in the past
the higher the negative number the better the performance
check out the site its impressive

Everything on that site is worthless.

Thank you.

What do you base this on?
