Title: ROTW - Poker
Post by: shanahan on June 18, 2016, 07:29:53 AM
The board has gone off it\'s rightful axis when the ROTW is a 6 horse field and the analysis says it won\'t try to beat the favorite.  What?  

Takeover Target will kick the favs ass all the way to Central Park.  Obviously isn\'t, and doubt he gets better than 3rd.

I rarely consider pace in turf races and occasionally to my detriment, it matters. Could be Takeover Target gets bet down by the Chad & Joel fan clubs but I think this one is at a disadvantage.

The race is only one mile. Not a lot of stretch. Rosario will need to begin his run on the turn. Hard to find trouble in a six horse race but his timing will be critical as the pace is going to result in Obviously and King Kreesa separating at some point.

Appears to me that those two front runners could sneak off and steal (as they say) this race.
