Interesting take, by a trip handicapper, on a horse that has had incredibly good fortune. If I didn't know better, I'd think that Motion (Mr. BIG ASS when it comes to racing luck) was the trainer of this horse.

OMB lucked out when facing Cherokee Triangle a few times on the turf early, when the latter was having seriously running-straight-in-the-lane issues and was probably best. (I'd venture a guess that CT DOESN'T LIKE OFF TURF). And, then, last time out, he gets Desormeaux's best ride of the year. KD steers him to the best part of the track early and gets a clear run in the lane while Seaspeak, stupidly kept inside on the backstretch--where divets are flying all over the place-- was doing left and right turns (and I mean this horse was all over the place) in the stretch courtesy of his jock's excessive whipping.

Just a thought.

Eaton's Gift.

(Sentimental pick, Overextended but not this time.....)

Not original, but I really like Colonel John.

Needs to improve a bit, but looks on the uograde and has no problems with the distance.

But hey, I'm a Euro, what do I know

Hickory Hill Hoff · #14 12-22-2007, 11:00 AM

MOMBA #10 - Value play
COLONEL JOHN #8 - Most likely
EATON'S GIFT #4 - Underneath top two
INTO MISCHIEF #12 - Underneath top two

Although we'll have to agree to disagree on his races with Cherokee triangle. You are right, CT did have some issues in the lane, but at no point, at least to me does it look like he is going by OMB. I suppose you can blame it on the turf, but it seems too convenient to me.

He was kept out of harm's way in the Grand Canyon, but I still think the best horse won that day. Sometimes horses that are the best going in, work out a good trip because they are the best. It's not like he is having the best trips ever in his races, just no trouble to speak of. I personally can't fault a horse for not finding trouble. I'm not betting the race as I'll be in no betting land in the Carolina's. But I just thought he was a bit interesting. I still think Colonel John might be a nice one. We'll see.

All I can suggest is that you take a close look at the headons of some of these races. OMB could win. I don't think there are any killers in here.

As for Colonel John, his last 2 races were nice but he got perfect setups (especially the last one) and I couldn't help but note that Grace Anatomy ran MUCH FASTER, at the same distance, than he did his 1st time out. Wonder why she's not in here. I'm serious
