ROTW - N.O Handicap

[nyc1347]

You all kno who I am wagering here.  General Quarters ran a top out 2 races ago and only regressed a point..  horse is in the best form of his life. with that angle and with 7 weeks off looks great to me here.  7-2 wont offer good win odds but im all over him $1500 to show tomorrow.  Should get out with the speed so the 10 post shouldnt be a problem for him losing any ground.  Im looking for around double the money here to show which would most likely be with trainers like PLetcher, Asmussen and Mott in the race and bet.. also star guitar will probably go off no where near 10-1 but may also lose ground.  This looks to be a very open betting race with the public and on paper.

GQ has run his heart out the last 2 races and no reason to think he will stop tomorrow being in the best form of his life! May also run a new top. He is in line, running great, and im sticking with him to make the top 3!  Good Luck!

Well you got your price on GQ. He is 7-1.

The public is in love with the Potential Pletcher Freak Battle Plan now 9/5. Does not look like a lot speed in here so he could got to the lead and be gone. But I don\'t thinks its gonna be that easy.

I like the way Giant Oak finished first off the layoff. He had to be ridden along a little but probably needed the work and has been training stoutly since then.

Winding down to 5-1 from a very early check your form twice, did I miss something, 8-1 early on.

I like the form cylce in the last three and like the ground saving trip and a chance for NEW TOP early at 4. Giant Oak to win.

Battle Plan with dream fractions..  That race was over 2f in.

Nice call on GQ.

General Quarters ran VERY well, good call.

Put him on your watch list for the year everyone.  I know hes not as fast as many championship horses right now but he is running amazing this year and is improving as time goes on...very very much within himself.  No reason to think why he couldnt improve to negative territory and still run consistent as the year goes on.  He will be HUGE for BC Futures especially now.  I think he is something like 50 to 1 or so now.   It may be worth a few dollars now at this big price just in case he wins on BC Day.
