My comment dealt more with figuring out who the speed of the speed is in this field and then betting that horse. It's far from an easy task.

Even though the race sets up for Funny Feeling, she had no excuse in the Prioress so she's hard to take at 5-2. Zermatt beat a terrible MSW field last time out and also isn't guaranteed to rate. How anybody can eliminate LBT is beyond me.

I think NM clears.

Songandaprayer should have the lead early.

Based on what? Stormandaprayer is significantly faster than her early.

There's a 0% chance that Nonna Mia can beat the 1 to the lead. . . She has an incredible amount of speed. The only horse close to capable of running with her early is the 6, who has no chance to get to her from that post.

i agree, and if the track plays like it has, 5-1 will be a good risk on this horse.

You're the best.

I need to check these threads before betting.

I found these two paragraphs from the NY Times article amusing:

Hunt agreed and Snyder’s one-horse stable was back in business. But his filly still needed a name. He came up with Lisa’s Booby Trap, named in part after his wife and in part after a strip club in Florida he admits he likes to frequent.

Working with Lisa’s Booby Trap, Snyder figured out that the reason she was having so many problems was because of her feet. Not only was one a clubfoot, but another was inordinately flat, which caused her every movement to be awkward. Snyder experimented with different shoes and found a combination that solved the problem.

I wonder if the bleeding heart club will still find it a heartwarming story now and not one coming from a complete whackjob.

So now we have a reincarnated wife that's a horse with a name partly due to a strip club. If I didn't know any better I'd wager that he's in the Tea Party.

He supposedly had a 500k offer on the horse, if it is real money, and actually a real offer, he needs to sell that horse to help set him up for his future.

Unless the guy is a multi millionaire, which I doubt since he didn't have the full $5k to pay for the horse, this is a no brainer now.

I completely understand why he didn't do it before, but they are like tomatos, they eventually go bad

Well the horse is his wife so she probably has the final say on being sold. Just depends if she was faithful to him in human form.

Mista Sunshine. Even if he is a weirdo, it's still a cool story/horse.

I'm holding out support for the future reincarnation of Christopher Hitchens. He'll smoke Booby Trap and drink a handle of Old Charter when he's done.

Thomas, have you seen this dude? He has a foot in the grave already. All the money in the world won't change that. I hope he just keeps her.

You've got to be kidding! A Joke?? She won by six lengths! This horse is for real and a testament to all of us small breeders/big dreamers!! I couldn't wait to place my bet on her this morning. What did you think, Steve??
