Getting high props from his Conditioner. Considering f the guy has had 2 Derby Winners. Much higher than one could possibly imagine!! Time will tell.
-
Can\'t wait to bet against him this weekend - given his reputation, he is slow. From that post at that weight at that price, this looks like a great spot to beat him.
-
You may very well may be right. Pletcher is always tough at Tampa. Has won the Derby or Sam F or both for like the last 4 years running.
But 2nd guessing a low key under the radar trainer who unleashed two 24-1 runnerup bombs last week on Holy Bull Day could be big mistake. Loaded barn will be progressively making a Spring impact. No doubt they are looking down the road at bigger and better things....
-
His pattern suggests a move forward here, but I confess I was surprised to see how he stacks up against the rest of the field. A must bet against at 2-1, especially given the running style.
-
Was 80% today. When a low-key guy says it might be the best horse he has ever laid his hands. You divide by 2 for hope and multiply by 4 since he has NO concept of hype....
-
Hoping that was a 1 to 2 and not a zero!
-
Was wondering about the fig myself. Track record time, the high-weight, and 4w on the turn. Looks to stack up pretty well against the filly race. 4 horses within 3 1/2 lengths doesn\'t scream track record though.
-
7 horse ran a nice race too, which was where my money was.
-
McCraken didn\'t really lose much ground. He was inside through the first turn and only tipped out late in the second turn. Trakus only has him travelling 9 feet farther than State of Honor.
Wild Shot was the wide-trip horse in the race, but I often wonder whether ground-loaded figs from Tampa are a little more suspect than those from elsewhere.
I liked No Dozing. Hard to find an excuse. I wonder whether Union Rags is going to get precocious 2yos.

Join the club. An American Tragedy, on multiple levels . . . despite the all-out \"I WILL save ground on the final turn, by God!\" ride.

A rare poor decision by Ortiz. But that was a sweet exacta price.
Tapwrit may be a serious horse going forward. Then again it\'s Pletcher in Tampa in February.
Good Luck,
