^^ LOL

no such observation here, he just has been on the list of overrated speedballs for a while now. He is a fan favorite so you have to look to races where he is vulnerable. If everything goes his own way sure he can look great... He actually was grade I or II, a year or two ago.

Months=Years?

Check out a little known race called the Vosburgh from this year.

Not that it's any real surprise.....but this is a terrible opinion.

They might be able weigh in at the scheduled weight.
Somehow I can't help but think the legends race was misplaced, the one Hawley won a month ago. This would have been a perfect race where Stevens, Bailey, Cordero ect...could have all made the weight.

What did I miss from the 2008 Vosburgh??

Strike reverted back to the 5 1/2-furlong-horse-fetal-position he is prone to , the race was a muddy mess, scrubs like black seventeen kodiak kowboy and first defence... the race looked like about a grade 3 event. nice early speed, but not a real grade I 6furlong race.

There were times in 07 and maybe 06 when Strike looked like he had a shot to put it all together. I think he punks out on turkey day.

I could come on here and talk about when Commentator was in a vulnerable spot and the responses would be from the same mold...

the vulture list is separate from the favorite horsey list

have to see the odds.

If enough money is on Strike and Songster, you wouldn't need an opinion. If they are 9/2 you have to pass unless Idiot Proof is a big underlay. EDIT OVERLAY

And now you want me to participate in a contest involving said race? Yeah that makes sense. What happens if you win?
looks like fischer will win his 'contest' by default.
