Default Does Vacare have a chance?

I've loved Vacare ever since I saw her break her maiden live @ AP.

Heres her entry for this Saturday @ Keeneland, does she have a shot? I like the 20-1 ML.

With C.H. Marquez aboard, at least you know he'll be trying. The boy likes his money.

I definitely would use her. She's done nothing but blow away everyone she's faced. It's a class rise, for sure, but so was her last race, and she handled that pretty damn well. I was very impressed with the Pucker Up win.

Chris Block usually never puts horses where he thinks there is no chance as he is from Bill Mott U. Definately use.

Do you guys think she has a legit chance to win? Im thinking of a pretty large WPS wager on her. I dont know what she'll go off at but the 20-1 ML is pretty arousing.

I don't like her but she handled Ballet Pacifica just as easily as Germance, who is one of the favorites, did in Europe last time.

Yeah, I find that ML very hard to believe on a horse as hot as this one. I don't see her going off at better than 8/1, and I think that even might be a stretch. There are some nice ones in here, for sure, but there are no monsters, and I'd use her in all wagers.

On paper she has no chance. She did not make the races until June as a 3yo. She picks up big weight and catches a legit Grade One bunch.

One of the positives is that Marquez flew in to work her Monday and she was MEGA impressive. BBB

WOOHOO!! Thanks Intense for bringing this one to my attention. The only one I bet today. And it's great seeing one of my buddies win a big one. Carlos is always hungry for these kinds of wins.
