Title: West Coast
Post by: johnnym on October 28, 2017, 07:26:44 AM
West Coast has a very solid sheet and may move forward again.
Getting 4 lbs has the tactile speed to get a nice ground saving trip seems to pair and move forward.
Have to hand it to BB he handled him really well especially avoiding the triple crown non sense.
5-1??
Gunny has my interest as well underneath, very curious what the seminar says about him

The seminar will tell a lot.  I was almost leaning the other way on West Coast.  He seems like a bounce candidate.  Two top efforts back to back. Everything set up perfect for him in the Travers.  The Penn derby may be deceiving with the competition.

Also has me curious how Baffert who loves the camera more than anyone has horses that skip the triple crown series altogether and then become total monsters at 3 1/2.

If the seminar says bet him then I will be on him.

Strictly a sheet read, I won\'t be playing the guessing game on which Baffy gets the EPO, maybe they all do.  West Coast has improved 7 points this year.  Normally I like pair ups but hard to see him jumping forward again another 3 points.

He gets a point with the weight so really only a two point jump no?
A valid point though

Will it take -5 to win this race? I\'m not sold that Coll,GR or arrogate run their top. Obviously they\'re all win candidates but it wouldn\'t surprise me to see it done on their secondary tops.

if a -4 wins the race and west coast is getting almost a point, i would bet on west coast moving forward. won the last easy and the pattern is great for a move forward. should get a nice price with gun runner, collected and arrogate in the race.
