Dixie Meister should be good to go this distance - he won the Californian last time out over some that he faces in here - Preachin & Spellbinder for sure as my computer isnt taking to the PDF link at the moment.

As for Giacomo, here's the Shirreffs quote from DRF

Quote:
"A mile and a sixteenth doesn't play to him anyway," Shirreffs said. "You'd like to see him moving forward. We need a nice finish."

Giacomo is an honest, hard-trying horse but he is dreadfully one-paced. He doesn't quicken to run past horses, he must depend on them to get tired in front of him. He can win if and only if (in math we abbreviate that as iff) there is a really fast pace in front. Like in last year's Pacific Classic, that had those insane fractions (and demonstrated loads of Lava Man's intestinal fortitude). If you can project such a pace in this race, he's in the mix.

perhaps he is trying to fool the competition into thinking the horse isn't ready, and at the same time seems to be fooling some of the wagering public. thats okay keep his price up.

he is in the money three times at this distance,
in the pollywood futurity he was 1 length behind declans moon in second and beat the BCJ champion wilko! carrying 121.
south africa was 4th in this one.

he will prolly carry less and be a good price.

I think you meant "like you're a....." I find it ironic that you would insult somebody's maturity level while using 4th grade level grammar.

Anyway I think this is certainly a tough race to analyze. I like Papi Chullo and
Preachinatthebar but most of these horses are about the same in terms of talent, so it will be a tough one.

Lose yourself in the moment, the music, you only get one shot, do not miss this opportunity it may be the only mother fuc-kin opportunity you get.

Hes chokin, everybodys choking now. But the words wont come out.

Its back to the lab again, whooops their goes gravity, whooops their goes gravity. Food stamps dont buy diapers.

Yeah yeah. The same nonsense you spit every time you've been embarrassed. "I don't want to argue," "This is childish," blah blah blah. Your actions show an entirely different attitude.

But fine. Your wish shall be granted. Continue with the San Diego discussion.
