Funny how no one is critical Bayern gets a G1 start in his third start, while everyone bashed Social Inclusion for it.

The rule used in handicapping here is when a field of horses has been taking turns beating each other, or doesn't look that different from each other in quality overall (I don't think Tapiture is a whole lot better than Strong Mandate and Ride On Curlin), take a look at the newcomers.

Bayern will crush these.

Smith - Pletcher - Winstar late Double.

As a complete aside if you're a UK fan an haven't read the piece in the Dallas paper about the Winstar/Trout and Julius Randle connection...Do yourself a favor and check it out. http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/col...ggest-star.ece

I'm with you here. Bayern is an A and Strong Mandate is my B. Ending a very nice pick 3 with those two.

I admit I was wrong about Bayern crushing the field. I didn't think he raced poorly...he just did not handle the pace pressure as well as I hoped.

Still fought at the end though.

I don't think so.
I'd say 2014 is definitely better than 2009 as well (Friesan Fire was the favorite and Mine that Bird was the winner).
