Title: The True North
Post by: Tavasco on June 07, 2017, 04:19:01 AM
Whitmore is increasingly impressive visually and otherwise.

If he can be beat it will be in Belmont\'s 8th race Friday. Maybe jockey Santana can get a trip but as of now I\'m stuck trying to imagine it.

Navarro\'s speed merchant on the outside may only be able to go 4 furlongs but :44.36 @ Charlestown is obscene.

With Roy the SoCal visitor, who has learned to chase and run down :21 & :43 fractions, just to the inside (with the same running style) big as Belmont is he just seems very disadvantaged.

Not to mention the problematic inside horses and the expected price? Six (6) in a row?

Whitmore did not have an easy time of it at Pimlico. Haven\'t looked at his competition yet but I wouldn\'t be surprised to see him run an off race.

I feel like Jay Trotter.

Hell of a show tonight, Tavasco, enjoy every second of it.

You might want to use everything you know about sheet theory to minimize the consequences of that inevitable bounce, though..!

The not so surprising failure of Apple Betty signaled the end of the line.

I\'ll be a spectator tomorrow, other than the impossible one from U Carrot Farms
