Ask The Experts

Its not the norm for TAP to send horses to the Preakness.  I personally don\'t see him running any of his colts in the Preakness next Saturday.  

I would have to assume he realizes that Materiality gives him his best chance in the Belmont, so why run him back in 2 weeks, which is something else he rarely does.

Jim:

Thanks for cementing what I\'ve heard as well.

This certainly adds to those that stated the same thing the last 2 days that were at the track.  He doesn\'t look himself.  They stated washy look and has gotten hot the last 2 mornings.

I\'m fairly new to the TG figs and such, but have gotten a much better grasp in terms of reading and interpretin the numbers and information given.

Let me play devils advocate with BB\'s numbers on 3 weeks rest, coming off a new top, relative to AP.

Due to the fact that AP was geared down, along with Victor\'s hands being essentially motionless the whole ride tells me that there is little chance of AP NOT moving forward off that trip.  I expect another new top.  

Fire away as I\'m failry new to this.

Where is the link to purchase the data for pre-derby?

Funny, you bring this up Jim.  I was on the phone with a friend, Saturday after the Ark Derby, and we talked about this same thing.

We concluded the best way to attack, and I could be totally wrong, is playing supers and trying to find prices to play in the place, show and 4th slot.  Easier said than done, possibly.  

The p4\'s leading into the derby may be a good bet as well, with no Wise Dan in the mix as a strong single.

Just my thought as I start to weight my betting options.

No doubt, come on Wes, your smarter than that.  There will be a lot of pissed off connections if he doesn\'t run.

He was referring to Chitu, I believe.  More of a general statement.  Hooper looked the goods this morning, to me.  Very nice work.

Yes, Alpha was another, if memory serves me correct.
