Some preliminary BC thoughts
My friend printed out the special that Thorograph put on sale yesterday and I was able to take a look at them at the OTB today. Quick couple of things that caught my eye
1) Sidney's Candy's race was not that impressive number wise. He is slow and won't get it done
2) Courgeous Cat's last was a prep in my mind, almost the very same situation as last year, he is a great use on BC Day, it looks very 'mad scientist' of Mott, don't know if he can win, but he should be very long price and could run as well as he did last year.
3) I have never seen two year old colts as fast as Uncle Mo and Boys of Tosconova. It is scary and not only that, but if they develop the way they are suppose to (from 2 year olds to 3 or even 4), they will break barriers, chances are they are close to their peak though
4) How scary is Girolamo. Look at last years pattern and compare it to this year; same pattern, only faster. He could be a very strong play
5) Lastly, in terms of Zenyatta, she is slow in comparsion to others. My heart wants her to romp but I will probably do what I did last year and leave her off, hindsight is I probably f'd up last year not using her as she was at home and had competitive numbers. I just don't see her beating Blame or Lookin at Lucky on this track with the trips they are probably gonna get.
