Greetings Mr. Clown,
Here are the exact wordings from the Keenland Clockers report compiled by Joe Ridell.
\"Pyro has never trained well over poly and is a big underlay. We believe they’re just
looking to leg him up for the Derby. Both Pletcher horses, Cowboy Cal and Monba
have trained brilliantly and should run well, as should Halo Najib. We’ve gotten a big push on Kentucky Bear who bled through Lasix in Florida. His breeding says miler
but he could make for a gigantic super if he hits the board.\"
Later on Saturday his paddock observations were posted from the Paddock and posted on PaceAdvantage.
\"Asmussen barn has done what they can for Pyro spreading his shoes in front and filling in with acrylic to give him a bigger foot, but he\'s still smaller than average and very small behind where they\'ve done nothing. We\'ll take a shot against him using both Pletcher horses, Cowboy Cal and Monba and Halo Najib, all of whom looked fit and dappled. Zito\'s other horse Stevil is an interesting longshot in here.
Cool Coal Man, Big Truck and Visionaire look anti-poly physically. Smallish and/or very flat feet.\"
So lets analyze this. In a field of 12, he calls on you to chuck the even-money favorite from the board, as well as the 2nd, 5th, and 6th choice, leaving you with the 3rd, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 11th choice in the race, and the superfecta comes
back with everyone except the 9th choice.
From this you invoke criticism?
I\'ve watched Joe personally do his work at Keeneland. I personally hope that you don\'t have access to the reports in the future, for I am not going to read your criticism, but rather would prefer that those reports be kept silent so that I can inch up more mutuels using them.
Good luck!!
