While I like both of those horses, if Commentator pops like he does with rest (three -5's off extended rests) he has a hell of a shot.

off the board, this is not the kind of field or distance that he can pop with a negative 5.

the key for commentator is simple, if he can clear off easily at the first call, he's golden. if not, well he's never passed anyone. i don't see him easily clearing off against this field.

Who is going to ride Park Avenue Ball in the dirt mile. Is it possible that this may be Joe Bravo's only mount in a BC event all weekend?? Talk about sentimental favorites.....the horse and the jock.....would pay decently if they won the race!!

La Traviata.....connections decided to keep her versus her own sex

good idea.....showdown now between her & Wild Rush, who gets the lead between these two?

Shaggy Mane definately gets the lead here. I also like the fact that La Traviata has a race over the Monmouth surface. And that race on 8/25 was very very good. However, Dream Rush has two Grade I wins.

La Traviata gets a ham sandwich

Commentator couldnt get away from Talent Search with a head start

What's the story behind Shaggy Mane? CA invader? Multilpe owners.

Why do you even bother with jag offs like this Whodey idiot. Besides being the master of the obvious, he is a Grade I prick.

Anyways....back to the race....Shaggy Mane has zero shot.....Will most likely get cooked with Dream Rush and La Traviata who both are need the lead types..... I think the horses to look at here are Wild Gams....Maryfield...and even Miraculous Miss isnt impossible here if the pace is hot.

Extremely speed favoring track for sprints, yet the field is loaded with early speed types. If pace makes the race,this would bode well for favorite Midnight Lute. However, I don't like the lack of progression that led to Lute's last speed fig. Don't want to cal it a bounce, I just doubt that fig will be replicated. Lute has never run on an off track, and I consider sire Real Quiet to be a non-lover of off tracks

So, I have to take a stand against Midnight Lute, and will side with Commentator,if the track is indeed wet. 3-3 on off tracks is no coincidence, as the horse is sired by Distorted Humor.

The Dirt Mile(on Friday): Wow! Dubai Jinx for Discreet Cat last out or what?

Enough superstition, though, this looks like a bad field and I'll not go against Discreet Cat here. Will investigate the pick 3 and DD that conclude with this race

Mike · #52 10-24-2007, 09:32 PM

Filly and Mare Sprint;I'll side with La Traviata. This is the 8th race on Friday, Discreet Cat should dominate the 10th. This makes the 9th race, the Juvenile Turf, a race I can really go deeper in the Pick 3

The Bid · #53 10-25-2007, 01:57 AM

Stone, I think Wild Gam has a huge shot, think she will win, my bet.

with it being sloppy, I'm taking a flier on a 3-3 winner on slop for the Sprint. I'll take Commentator (might not be the best horse, but proven winner on slop).

Yeah, I'll say. You are right about that. Second most impressive performance of the day in my mind. If they keep this horse sound, healthy, etc., who knows. He certainly looks like he has the talent.
