Default Mr. Fantasy

97 Beyer first time out, nice pedigree and top connections. Faces a group tomorrow with no early speed at all, and Alan Garcia comes up to ride this NY Bred, everything points to him being 1-9. The question is, can you beat him ? If not, can you make money betting pick 3, pick 4 ?

You listen to 3 weather guys and you get 3 different forcasts. But it's seems that they are saying a possible 3-6 inches and then turning to a wintery mix.

The question is, will he get to run?

Looks like 2-5 inches of snow overnight here turning to sleet and then rain by post time.

If he does run, What do you think of him ?
I see him as being tons the best, against these.

94 beyer second time out, cruised again. I think he's a good one. I know he beat no one, but this again appears to be a subpar crop.

It's February 2. The crop can't be subpar already.

I should have said class.
I dont know about you, but The Holy Bull was very uninspiring IMO, and The fastest 3 yr old's speed figure wise appear to be sprinters.

Your next board moniker, surely there will be one, should be Mr. Fantasy.

Since it seems to be a race to be the first to say it every year, let me be the first to say that the 2010 crop of three year olds is one of the worst crops ever.

While I'm at it, the 2010 handicap division is awful too.
