Uncle Sy
« on: April 28, 2014, 10:41:07 AM »
Any thoughts? I am disregarding last due to a troubled start. I like the fact that he exploded the first time he went long.He ran very well against Samraat and will be at least twice his price. I realize he is inexperienced but can\'t overlook the fact that he ran a 1 the first time he went two turns.

You will find some very well respected people who share that view in these parts but two turns against New York Breds and 1 1/4 against open company are two totally different animals in my view but I know others have legitimate points for him. At least you will get paid if you are right!

Hear Uncle Sigh adds blinkers...ugh, when Palace Malice did that last year a disaster with crowd noise and the overall insanity running past the stands first time around. Any horses ever win the derby off a blinker change...dont know.

I don\'t think he will be \"at least twice the price\", my guess would be 15-1 on Samraat and maybe 22-1 on Uncle Sigh.

And as somebody who bet Uncle Sigh two times against Samraat, I don\'t know how with any common sense you can bet Uncle Sigh to beat Samraat after Samraat beat him 3 straight times.  Yes, the last one was with a better trip, but geez the first two were \"on the square\".

Pass...

That guy has to be one of the 4-5 longest in the field. Stunned if he\'s less than 30.
