Am I the only one...
« on: May 16, 2008, 06:20:58 PM »
who thinks that Macho again..from the rail..has a real nice line if you throw out the bad race over poly.  I know the distance may be a question but he figures to get a real good trip from the inside and a pair up isn\'t out of the question is it?  He only bounced a couple points off a big effort as a 2 year old...and ran his best race at 2 coming off a poly non effort.

Can\'t get the distance and a bounce is likely,IMO.

from Haskin in the Bloodhorse:

\"With Macho Again, the question is whether he’s ready to go 1 3/16 miles, never having won beyond 7 1/2 furlongs. Two of his poor efforts have come on Polytrack, which he detests, even in the morning, and in the other (Lecomte Stakes) he came out of the race with a pulled muscle so severe they thought at first he had fractured his tibia. In all his other races he’s run powerful races, and his Derby Trial score was particularly impressive, especially the way he galloped out well clear of his opponents as if he wanted to keep going.\"

Seems a case can be made for everything in the race. Just the kind to go
unnoticed and hit the board at a massive price.


Good Luck,
