I would if he was trained by a juicer. Cecil is just horrible. Either he's as honest as they come or retarded.

Isn't Temple City going to hamper his chances a bit? As much as I'd like to see a horse win the Pacific Classic 3 races after winning a 25k claimer, he seems outmatched in there.

I want no part of The Usual QT or Awesome Gem. Hold Me Back is interesting and I think he's going to hit the board. I'm between Hold Me Back, Battle of Hastings and I think Crowded House is interesting at a price.

Hold Me Back and Richard's Kid are the only two horses that don't have major flaws in my opinion. From memory because I haven't looked at PP's

1) I think I heard Mullins was O-fer the meet today, all eyes must be on him, No
2) Didn't quit last time but no thank you
3) No
4) Need 7 turns
5) No
6) Win over surface and distance
7) Same as 6 although not the specific Del Mar surface
8) No idea who he even is
9) Trip of a lifetime last time
10) Drugs already talked about him 0-fer

I think Hold Me Back is the most likely winner, but the other horse could be like 6x the price.

Even though 3 back Temple City went very fast early, look at his last 2 races. He is out there crawling. Plus look at the jock, then think about the Rail Trip debacle. I think Isle of Giants has to clear early from the inside with P Val... Maybe he runs away from them, kinda like Mast Track.

Richards Kid is clearly trained by the GOAT 1.....
He can win, but something IMO is not right with him. Maybe the Dubai trip?

I hear you. I don't think Temple of City is going to be dueling with Isle of Giants, because of who is riding him as you said. But he'll be close enough. I just don't know if I want a front runner going 10 furlongs on that track. He should be a price at least.

I don't think it was the trip. He just stinks.

Guano? I'm curious as to how you came up with a term meaning bat excrement as a nickname for me.

To answer your question however, which to most people is entirely obvious, is that your Beloved is dodging this scary race, which was mentioned previously in this thread. I was giving you justification for skipping this race and pointing to the Zenyatta stakes.

Please tell me you really aren't that dumb though and were just teasing me.

If that joke of a track is playing like it did today, Isle of Giants has a good shot tomorrow.

I think Giant's Causeway himself would have a legit shot in this race. Even at 13 and off a 10-year layoff. He'd have to be at least second choice. He's won as many times on the synthetic as the favorite right?
