Is there 'enough pace due to presence of DRIFT KING and SIPHON THE KITTY'?

For what it's worth, I used Redefined as my NYRA Showdown pick. That doesn't mean I'd actually bet him in the race... I just think he's got the best chance to hit the board of the runners today.

You too, I think both are the right plays on the card. We need Storming Off to run like the reason he's dropping in for the claim off a good effort... 90% of the entries gone in 7 days. Amazing. I have two of my three left, the only dinger was Street Magician getting beat a nose in the last jump for third.

Haddafort is certainly the class and the deserved favorite. The only thing is that i am scared that it is too short for him and there might not be enough pace. What did you think about the pace scenario?

Does Around the cape have anything left?

My thoughts exactly on Hatta Fort, however he;s probably good enough to hit the board anyways. and on Around the Cape... no. Too bad.

I dont think anyone will be near Drift King especially if he rips off another 23 second 1/4.

I wasn't agreeing with you fool. That was an idiotic statement that you made based on the fact the horse has never run on the turf and has never had the lead at the quarter faster than 22.3. So explain to me why Siphon the Kitty can't run with this horse.

A little testy today kgar? Way to jump right into the name calling.

Redefined could probably have the lead if he wanted it, but may end up trapped inside Drift King and StK. For a horse that seems to like making a wide move, this may not be the best trip.

Snowstalker and Hatta Fort for me so far....

I normally like to either see or hear a race if I have money on it, so wether I put money on a horse is my business. And its funny you make fun of my pool but you would be very surprized which owners, trainers and handicappers are involved in it.
And to know little old idiot me is the leader after 7 days.

And your little statement about Drift King being a speed demon shows how much you know.
