Affirmatif

[pweizer]

Affirmatif returns off his much hyped maiden win in today's 8th at Keeneland. He is 4-5 on the morning line. He may be a super horse. Certainly from the medcia coverage of his debut, one would think so. However, in my opinion, this presents a classic opportunity to cash in on the hype and try to beat him.

Facing winners for the first time, this field is not soft. Rescue Squad is my top choice. This horse won at first asking for Shug (which says alot right there). Has since run two good races behinbd top level competition and has every right to improve at 10-1 on the morning line.

John Kimmel sends out Two Brash. This one also won at first asking. In three starts since then, he has run well. The winners of those three races were Theregoesjojo, Imperial Council, and Florentino. He is 15-1 morning line.

Bill Mot send out Strike Again who won his debut and then lost a close decision to Florentino.

Larry Jones has an interesting runner who lost by less than a length to Orthodox in his first try at this level.

Not to mention that Chris Clemente and Roger Attfield have horses making their North American debuts.

This field is loaded. Yet Affirmatif will be odds on. Could he win. Certainly. However, this race provides amazing value if you want to play against.
