BTW - Aqu 9th?
 

Who would you bet to win?

It's a pretty abyssmal race. I would probably bet Connoisseur or Likely Statesman. I guess Afleet Force is the horse to beat but he's not much.

Likely Statesmen looks decent. Taking a bit of money in the double.
Chicago Nate is taking a load of money in the double.

Good luck to Chicago Nate.

Oprah Winney, LOL! Thats Oracle's horse. Wonder if he had her in this spot and isnt dancing a jog right now.

Chicgo Nate is 5/1. Maybe somebody knows something. Hmmm?

Wow, thats pretty spot on. Hope you had it real good.

I made a very big bet on the winner.....I have been waiting for him to run since he was scratched out of a similar spot a couple weeks ago. I hit the exacta but unfortunately did not bet tris.

This was a putover horse. Why would they ship from West Virginia? This guy never even ran a horse in NY before.

Nice job. He took some late money, probably yours. Good thing you didnt bet Likely Statesmen. Didnt sound like you had that much conviction 1/2 hour ago.

There is a limit what I am going to say on the board.

I think I did enough.

meant to address this earlier..... very nice andy ...cant even see the problem here ,,,he asked you deliverd the good thanks..and good one..

Sharp handicapping. Connoisseur had been working out at Mountaineer. He was entered at Aqueduct in the 9th race on 12/17. He was scratched out of that race and had a 4f workout at Mountaineer also on 12/17. The scratch list shows him as a trainer scratch on 12/17. He was entered in Laurel on 12/22 but was scratched by the stewards in that race. Papers?
Normally I would assume that since Mountaineer is dark until 1/20 the connections were just looking for a race. Since the horse is trained and owned by the same person I believe that your assertion of a putover horse is correct. The connections certainly knew they had a "live" horse and did not want to wait for a race at Mountaineer.
Good call.
