Maybe they think they have the better of the TWO PLEASANT TAP HORSES on the dirt.

certainly not the better of the two pleasant tap horses overall

but on the dirt, he just may be.

i like the other better in the classic, though there's no fighting pleasant tap's gutsiness.

Juvenile Fillies: Point Ashley / Cotton Blossom

Turf F&M: Wait a While / Gorella (if she runs this race)
Sprint: Henny Hughes / Siren Lure
Mile: Aragorn / George Washington
Distaff: Balleto / Pine Island
Turf: English Channel / Cacique
Classic: Bernardini / Perfect Drift (likes CD track)

any thoughts !!!
George Washington is pointing to the Classic.

I like a lot of your picks, and will probably use a lot of the same horses.

i think most of those are logical picks -- while i haven't made up my mind yet as i haven't really compared all the horses side by side with who they will be running against yet....i would say this:

Juvenile Fillies: Dreaming of Anna/Cotton Blossom (Sutra also, as slow as molasses as she is, if i decide that the pace is going to be wicked)
Juvenile: Street Sense
FM Turf: Ouija Board/Vacare as a bomber if she goes
Sprint: Bordonaro, and while I doubt she'd go, I'd take Malibu Mint in a second as well -- trying to stay away from the obvious here
Mile: Gorella
Distaff: Happy Ticket/Round Pond
Turf: Shirocco/Cacique/Better Talk Now
Classic: Invasor/David Junior/Bernardini in that order

Bernie, in the Classic take it from the horse's mouth or at least the trainer's. 'Bernie is the best I've had'. Good enough for me but for all nay sayers that's why there are mutual pools.

Im not an exotics player in the form of exactas, tris, or anything else.
I play w/p and pick 4s.
so what I say in this area may be completely worthless.
but if I had to play one exacta for the entire day, as of now, it would be Bernardini/David Junior boxed.
they seem like the 2 most logical 1-2 finishers of the entire day.

Pent no value. Enjoy the race or not from a fan point of view and single in pic 3 4 and 6's.
Run Hillary run is on my front right bumper!
Hope all is well.

yeah,
no value.
well, it will pay something if DJ comes in, but its not something I am going to invest in.
like I said, I simply dont play exactas, tris, or supers.

lol, awesome sticker. I hope she does run. would be a lot of fun to watch her humiliate herself over the course of an entire campaign.

all is well, back in TX now.
hope all is ok for you.
you are still in Chicago right?
sucks that the IL Horseman's association could work something out with TVG.
I still watch The Thorne on HRTV, but I wish it was on TVG.
is there any talk of it around the track?

I plan on putting $50 WP on Happy Ticket and although many are disagreeing, I think that Perfect Drift has got a good shot to win the BCC.

you know,
I disagree with the selection, but the Happy Ticket thing is not totally off.

she beat what I considered the best older female at the time at Churchill Downs earlier this year at the same distance of the BCD.

PDrift is a very game performer, but when you cant hold off Seek Gold, you are not going to beat Bernardini.

Most here see Hawthorne and laugh. Haven't made a wager there all year. Splitting time between Chi. and Lake Geneva as that's where the G/F and kids live. Saw a black bear this w/e up north though. Can't hunt though as I'd rather kill a human than an animal.

lmao,

thats the best line Ive read since I have been on this forum.

I like betting Hawthorne b/c it has a dirt track and a turf course.
thats something I cant say about every track running at this time of year.
forget Woodbine,
forget KEE,
and now forget Hollypark.

you know thats totally dependent on who shows from Europe.
if Shirocco and a few other show, you would get at least that.
if not,
then those are going to be your 2 favs.

what sucks is that the Tin Man is not running.
he would have taken a lot of stupid(and a mean really stupid) money.

for what its worth (not much b/c I will not cap it until Nov 3 at 6PM), but here are initial thoughts.

BCJ-dont really care, but go with CQuay. if nothing else, it will p*ss the polytrack guys off.
BCJF-really dont care. PAshley if she runs. I have a friend named Ashley and she is really hot.
BCMFT-go deep. Vacare has a shot to hit at a price.
BCS-Bordonaro seems the most likely winner.
BCM-Librettist. Aussie Rules and Gorella rounding out the tri.
BCD-Spun Sugar. same reason as CQuay and I think she is the best of the Pletcher fillies.
BCT-uh, who is coming? Shirocco if he runs. If not, English Channel is the best of the US horses.
BCC-Bernardini. DJunior is the unknown and the next most likely winner. what does that say about the field as compared to Bernardini?
