valdivia on buzzards bay?? good one........ im sure pat v or jhonny would have been happy to sit it on the 750k public workout.

[whorstman]

Anybody think Wiggins has half a shot to crack the board w/ Bejarano
up? I saw him run that allowance last time and he looked pretty strong against those.

Key Drift in 3rd.

And Buzzards Bay and Jose valdivia are opening up in the stretch and they've gone clear by 4 and its all Buzzards Bay to win the Steven Foster by 5 lengths.

Johnny not 100% P.Val not 100% mentaly and getting old Validivia doesn't seem to be such a bad choice at this point.

Go Get Em Drift !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i don't think so, the Horse of the year is running here,
Brass Hat,
second in the world cup, put down to third months later.
he is the terror here, and prolly the winner.

I like him too, but don't like the fact that it's his first back from Dubai. Heck, one of my favorites, Pleasantly Perfect, finished second to Choctaw Nation upon his return and had until Augut. Not too mention Gaff didn't exactly light it up.

when PP returned his first race back he was rank and ran on the lead, a style he was not familiar with, he always closed within the last 100 yards. he was taken to the front by bailey for some reason. CN gave him a lot of weight as i recall.
further at 10f CN didn't even get close to him in the PC

Silver Charm and Captain Steve did not fare too well in the Foster after the return from Dubai. There's some others, but I can't think of them off of the top of my head....

Personally I do not think he has any chance to win and I would only give him an outside chance of hitting the board.
But if you like him you can take heart in the fact that he is 2 for 2 at CD. In fact, since the trainer change the horse seems to run well at Hawthorne and CD but can't do anything away from those two tracks. He is a decent horse, but I think he is in over his head in this one, and if you are going to use him at all I would suggest only playing him on the bottom of tri's.

the last time wiggins faced garde 1 competition he was 34 lenghts back in the whitney 05. hes out of the picture here at this distance.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I like Love of Money's chances to hold on for a piece in this one. Second back off a layoff (and he looked pretty solid the first time back) and this horse has some good 9f races in his past. There doesn't seem to be a lot of speed in this race, and although I'm sure he'll be running out of steam at the end, I think he will hit the board.
I like Brass Hat, Buzzard's Bay, Perfect Drift, & Love of Money in some sort of exotics, but haven't figured it out exactly yet.
