OK, Hesanoldsalt is entered in this race. Seems like his last workout was good. I like him in this spot.

Yet another example of why Handicaps are absurd in this country.

Invasor is giving five pounds to Magna Graduate and six to Strong Contendor.

I agree.

And it looks like the post draw offset whatever little edge those two might have been given from Invasor on the weights.

On second thought, I like A. P. Arrow here too. I need to look at this stuff when I get home. I wish I was going to be down there this weekend.

Confusion: are you saying Invasor should be carrying more weight or less? I'd say if it's truly a "handicap," he should be carrying considerably more than the others entered. I'd like Magna Graduate if he hadn't ran so terribly last time I saw him on Breeders Cup day.

Invasor should be carrying more than 123lbs and the spread of weights should be greater than they are

Of course he should be carrying more. DrugS is too stupid to understand common sense.

Magna Graduate is the biggest pitch in history. His phony win at Aqueduct was as bias aided as a race can be.

I didnt get this either. I thought 5-6 was pretty fair. Its a prep anyways, and you know they wont be trying very hard. Good bet against in my opinion.

Magna Grad looked pretty darn good last time I saw him run. Granted he didnt beat much that day and there may have been a speed bias, but he looked like a new horse. I mean really good.

AP Arrow looks like a strong second to Invasor in this one.

Invasor gets the #1 hole will blow this field away

LMAO

I'll take my chances.

Lori,

I can't make it down, unfortunately... I have my son this weekend. Last weekend was his Dad's weekend to have him, so it worked out.

OK, but when my 20-1 shot comes in don't say I didn't tell you so....
