He's about the only rider in the country skilled enough to suck the life out of Fabulous Strike and get him to run a 65 pace figure going 7fs after a good break. Clever move by Baffert naming him.
thats what happens after 3 months of not racing and shipping halfway around the world. the winnner had recent races over the track and was almost 6-1, IB 1-1. the bet(big city man) was a no brainer.

I guess US tracks aren't the only ones that soup up the rail for big days.

Yeah, ok.

Look upon the history of the race ... the record of American horses who enter the race off of similar layoffs and after shipping is utterly spectacular.

To suggest that had something to do with her getting left at the gate is a stupid comment.

With the way the track was playing and the lack of speed... 9/1 on Well Armed is sick. But, even sicker, are the prices underneath.

I had Muller at 40-1 to be placed!!

Good to see an Irishman winning the big one!

So you would have played her at 5/4?

Anyway, well done to Well Armed. A brilliant display in a below average DWC, on his third last year he had every chance, especially as Asiatic Boy has shown he isn't the same horse this year.

A very nice display though.

She was 8/5 for and almost 9/5 against in the exchange. And yes, I did take some 8/5 on her as it was a gift...even with Prado.

I had flat money on the top 3
but no exact or trifecta


I admit the 13 horse was just a last minute post parade bet
and never even thought to bet a trifecta with all of them.

I didn't ask you if you'd play her at 8/5. I certainly wouldn't have layed her at that price, I asked if you would have played her at 5/4 (the price she was pre race over here).

For me, 5/4 was just ridiculous and I had to take her on with all of the question marks surrounding her.

I cannot imagine you would have made her a play that the odds we were getting?

LOL...Seeing that guy with a golden whip is not a visual I could ever have prepared myself for. Seen it all now. What's next? A guy with a slit?
