Samraat received a Beyer of 96 which will come up in the TG zero range if JB has the variant the same as Beyer.Very tough minded horse with a couple of gears.Cairo Prince and mysterious West Coast synth beast Shared Belief a tad faster so far.Sam goes back to Palm Meadows to train for Wood after 2 all out efforts, not great imo.

Samraat\'s Brooklyn born owner,Len Riggio,one of best multi millionaires on planet earth, have to root for this guy.

Richie,

I absolutely love this. Terrific (and I can\'t wait for tonight\'s episode)

Jimbo, nice call on Harpoon. I would have never bet him at 7 to 2 but I had to bet well ahead of the race because I had to be somewhere during the race. No good

Sadly, Harpoon wasn\'t my biggest problem yesterday. That would have been down in Hallandale Beach.  I played against No Nay Never in the multi race bets and was thrilled to beat a 1 to 9 shot with a 9 to 1 winner but I didn\'t use the Coolmore Horse in the Palm Beach as I thought I could get by with Chad\'s 2 and Shug. I also played Pleuven heavy and was counting my money at the top of the stretch only to come up empty down the lane.

No good. Only good news is that I dedicated half my bankroll yesterday to the derby and oaks future pools so I won\'t lose that officially for another 60 days. Lol

Happy hunting today!

This is so so great.

That weight was too much of a burden for any creature!

Yeah, I also found a way to beat No Nay Never and screw it up.

I thought that might have been you, driving down the odds on California Chrome.

Don\'t know what to think of the Gotham.  Half a second faster than some nice G2 mares.   Samaraat heavy and a bit wide to boot.  But three horses crossing the line together in a dirt route doesn\'t usually signal great quality - especially when the next two have looked a whole lotta meh. At least we know they can handle being pressed.

Am pretty sure that Secretariat did the Bay Shore, Gotham, Wood Memorial route (which in its day was a mighty light prep).
