Toss...

I like Proctor's horse alot. he never does something like this (huge step up) and her numbers are competitive. I am going to be betting that Guidry is going to try and save some ground and then push the button.

Using Honey, Rich and Film

I am really REALLY going to try and figure out where to strike with these pick threes, This card is HARD....If you have a serious bankroll you could quadruple it or be broke by the end of this day. All you need is one ticket to hit.

I am CONSIDERING right now an English Channel/All/Showing Up ticket for like $10....That might be my big ticket of the day

Oh, and reason I am tossing Gorella is that she is going to have to go awful wide in this race, and this might be one of the first races she has company in the back with a couple of these Euro's, going to have run the whole race, I am looking for a horse that will be sitting 4-5-6th and try to get first run. Proctor's horse is that horse

I realize there are tons of other great horses in this race, but this is turning out to be a great rivalry.

When carrying the same weight, EC is 2-0 vs. Cacique
the one time EC lost to Cacique by a 1/2 length, he was carry 2 more pounds.

Every little bit helps in these routes.
I look forward to their battle for third place too, Kev.

There is no need for all this Gorella talk and debate about the Beverly D.

I'm telling you right now. Rising Cross is your winner

The weight break definitely helps her, but she is about 10 lengths slow of Film Maker, thorograph wise. RC top is a 7 and FM's is a 2...She is an exotic playa for me

I sure do Kev. He won't be finishing very far off of them, and might get fifth by 1 1/2 lengths. But that is where I feel he will be.

You can get a share of all of my money if your boy wins, and I'll gladly put it in the tote for you to collect when he crosses the line.

Why are you so confident in Rising Cross? I'm looking over her PP's and I'm just not getting it. Would like to know your reasoning if you don't mind.

your nuts Mood, only way that English channel finishs off the board here is a horrible or stupid ride by Johnny, which is like maybe 5% of the time(unlike Laviolette which is 94.6% of the time he rides like a moron)

EC is 2-3 lengths faster then everyone in this field besides Cacique. Cacique will get overplayed because of the Arlington idiots/Frankel/arabs and I personally feel he has distance questions at longer then 1 1/8...I know he won at 10 panels but that ride was a masterpiece and he was still getting tired at the end...

More to come later, I have some surprises for you folks, should make for an interesting day
