Pool 2
« on: February 03, 2015, 01:40:09 PM »
morning line is out.

DRF Pool 2

Surprised to see Texas Red at 15-1, compared to the odds of Carpe Diem and Upstart.

We\'ll put up a file on Friday afternoon. If you have suggestions for others, now is the time to let us know.

Texas Red doesn\'t look like anything special on the TGs at this point vs a bunch of others but if I had to pick one right now, it would be him.

So many things will change between now and even a month from now but, slightly slower TGs notwithstanding, he\'s the top choice in my mind.

Given that this is likely a year where the Derby fav will be no lower than 5 or 6 to 1 given what at this point looks like a broad crop, I don\'t know about taking anything less than 20-1 in this pool though.

That said, if over the next few months American Pharaoh and his suspensory go the way of Calculator and Leave the Light on, 15-1 will look great on Texas Red.

best time of the year upcoming

Jim,

Re American Pharoah,its amazing how a relatively minor foot bruise went to a possibly disasterous suspensory injury.Forever and a day, connections have lied about the extent of injuries, especially Derby prospects...very tough on players.

...nice wins recently!

Mike,

couldn\'t agree more.

I am pretty sure that the news about the supensory wasn\'t supposed to come out yesterday, I have a sense that was a misstep

thanks so much for the comments on the wins, I am still replaying each of those races in my head about 10x each day!

thanks again

I\'m inclined to stay away from this pool altogether.  Horses like Ocean Knight and Ocho Ocho Ocho are tempting, but they will get bet down too much here.  Since they are both expected to run next in March, their odds should be better in Pool 3 (after everyone is in a tizzy over the FOY, Risen Star, and Lewis runners).

I think Prospect Park and Bolo are rather interesting.

Wrongly,

  After first considering a move to dirt for Bolo in the Robert B. Lewis Stakes this Saturday, Carla Gaines said Bolo was “unlikely to run,” with the trainer pondering whether she should leave well enough alone and keep him on turf for now.

What happened to Blofeld? Not even any works since his last win in November.

Regarding Blofeld, I saw this in The Bloodhorse. http://bit.ly/1C8OyVi
