I don't get it. The horse is a nice horse and he runs a nice race; no one is saying he's going to win the Classic. Why do you have a problem if people think he ran well today...? Again, I don't see anyone going over the top with this. I'm not trying to be defensive - I just don't get the antagonism towards this horse.

and i don't get why you're so concerned about my opinion, or why you get so defensive-or think lack of enthusiasm equates antagonism? yay, he won an optional claimer.
and i do believe i've seen some posts on here in day's past saying this horse would have a say in the classic. hilarious.

He has good tactical speed. He's going to sit right off the leaders and if it's a fast pace, he'll get first run on them.

if casino drive didn't have two belmont winners as his siblings, everyone would be laughing their asses off at this horse and his hapless connections. but since he has better than honour as his mama, he suddenly has a shot-a legitimate shot?? and then i have to read how zenyatta is too lightly raced to attempt a shot as the classic as well.....we're nothing if not consistent on here.

Why on earth would any smart handicapper leave off either of those 2?

I may consider it. Both will be HUGE underlays... especially considering the conditions they'll be running in. It all depends on the type of bet you're making and how much you are risking.

She is proven over the surface unlike the other main contenders so she certainly has the home field advantage. I dont think that her going in the Classic would draw more than 12 extra fans or coverage and I dont think it would have any "effect on the sport" but I would be interested to see how she matches up against the big boys.
I'm with you, I don't think it's a stretch at all to run her. She'd be 3rd or 4th choice, at worst, for a $5mm race.

If Curlins' connections decide to pass, it's going to be the weakest Classic field ever. Id give it a shot if I owned her. That being said, if Curlin goes Id stick with the Distaff.

I thought this was a great line from Crist's piece...

"With or without Curlin and the others, it's the best and busiest racing and wagering event of the year. I plan to handicap and bet until it hurts."

Yeah, I don't like that its on "Pro-Ride" or that they've split the card into two unnecessary days, or that some of the best horses aren't running, but I think its still a great event and look forward to it every year, even this year.

Casino will be overbet, but nobody can say they would be shocked if he won the race. He is very talented and there is a shortage of talent in the older horse and 3yr old division. If Curlin doesn't run, forget about it. Casino could easily win.
