Friesan Fire

[pointgivenpap]

Wow, 9/2 on FF, he's never been more than a 1 1/16 and the 7 week lay off is shady. Maybe the wet surface helps him a little, but I think his value is way off. Larry Jones and Saez are kinda the "public" play with Eight Belles story last year, be very careful here though, I say he runs up the track. Your call.

Well this was worthy of a thread. I'm making a thread declaring that Regal Ransom won't win. I know it's a ballsy move and whatnot...but f.uck it.

Just adding a post to a worthy thread

Rather take FF who has run on the dirt and also a sloppy track then POTN who has only run on tires until this week

FF is the best classic distance horse in the race, and quietly a triple crown threat with the Preakness being the real challenge depending on who enters,

but people aren't really handicapping this, so much as they feel this is a "difficult race" and Friesan Fire is being labled a "mudder" because he happened to win the LA Derby in the mud an probably has a high Tomlinson Wet score.
It also hurt a little that the DRF closer look calls him the one to beat.
