Default Awesome Twist

Everyone is throwing out "Twisty" today.

Wassup with you guys?? LOL

Where are all you Budweiser long-shot people?

I've been thrown OFF other message boards for using the phrase "Chalk Eating Weasels", so I'll be sure NOT to use it here... LOL

Who has the the PP's on Twisty? Does he not fit in this race? I saw one of his races where he was DEAD last going into the stretch.. then he passed the whole field like they were standing still and won by 12 / no whip.

I think he recently ran second in a tough 7f sprint. I think he's DIEING to go long. PLUS,,, I like Javier on him. He fits Twisty great.

Kimmel seems to think he'll do well and I personally think he can at LEAST beat half the pack.... which of course is no good from a wagering standpoint but I'm not so sure you'd want to leave him out of your superfecta wager today... LOL

Seriously though.. Be careful friends,,, If he's right and the race unfolds in his favor,, he "may" do some good today. Don't forget,, he's already got 2 wins over that surface. That aught to count for something.

I'm gonna call the groom on his cell... see if Twisty ate his breakfast this morning... LOL.

I'll be right back.

I think he's a nice horse, for sure. But i kinda feel he's best as a late running sprinter.good luck with him today!

there's lots to like other than the 12 post and the fact that he has never ran a 2 turn race that would threaten these.

They tell me that stretched out sprinters are always a threat.

This horse should not even be in this spot. He is the one horse with zero chance. Nice horse, mismanaged in at this distance.

Just in case you're right,, I'd be interested to box your trifecta picks. Can you help me out?

sometimes a threat, not always. depends on the situation.
His wins are at 6.5 furlongs or less. I like the horse but not in todays conditions. For these times this is one of the deeper Gr1's you'll find.
