The Classic

[cakes44]

How many of these horses can actually pop the 108-110 BSF needed to win this race? I’m sure all the horses are “coming into a big race”, and “can’t be doing any better”, and are “training great”, but I think we make things harder than they are sometimes.

When in doubt..... use Bob.

West Coast has run a 117-as a 3yo!- and is now second off a layoff.
He doesn't even have to pair his top to beat this field. A normal second out improvement could bury them all.

In My opinion based on who I feel will be improving the most and has best chance to win here

A Horses - Catholic Boy and McKinzie
B Horses - Accelerate and Axelrod
C Horses - Mind Your Biscuits (real wild card here) and Discreet Lover

I think West Coasts best days are behind him. Although you never know

To be fair you've always loved CB. I think he's a cut below.

Absolutely have liked him from last year. However he gets better every start and that Travers run was very good. Distance is no issue, the horse is tough, training well and is a major player here. This is a tricky race this year compared to the last few. Accelerate may be still be the cream of the crop here and Ill have him covered in pick 4 but my win money will most likely be on the Boy.

That opinion that he’s a cut below has been wrong three times in a row. What does he have to do to convert you to Catholicism? No reason to think anything changes in the Classic. He has the will to win. He will win the classic. West coast second, yoshida third.

I agree...probably not that simple, but I'm going to build around him running 1-2.

One of the more puzzling editions

It’s a simple race. If he handles dirt, Roaring Lion wins easily. If he doesn’t handle dirt, don’t waste you money playing any horse unde 8/1. The winner will be Roaring Lion or over 30/1.

After watching The clip of him on YouTube it looked to me that he wanted no part of dirt. It was autotossola mama Mia.
