Ten billion WP on Invasor.

With that, I'm out of here for the day -- can't know who wins until I get home to watch it!

he is going to watch when he gets home-he just doesn't want to know the winner ahead of time.

It had nothing to do with the jockey. DC is a glass horse, a talented and but fragile horse. I wouldn't be surprised if that's it for him, something had to happen. I still don't think he beats Invasor on his best day. Invasor is a tremendous horse, I think he won on guts alone, he didn't look like he had much of a burst at the end, he just broke Premium Tap's heart.

To quote the sage, Harvey Pack, "Never bet a horse doing something for the first time as a favorite."

Good luck to Mr. Luck (I know, I know..... I'm not a moron) and to GB's pick, Kandidate.

Come home safe everyone.

Generally I would too, but Fernando knows this horse and never panics when he's aboard. Overall, of course Frankie is a better jock, but I think that given the horses they are riding and Jara's knowledge of Invasor -- I'd call it a wash today.

If Premium Tap had ANYONE else riding him he would get my money, but with Ken in a big race, you could have every other horse break down and he still would come in fourth...

I agree. If Invasor runs his race, I don't think Tap can win. But if Invasor runs porly, I think Tap can beat Discreet Cat. I played two modest Exactas:

Invasor/Prem Tap ($14 for $2)
Prem Tap/Discreet Cat ($33 for $2)

10 mtp.
