Title: Pimlico
Post by: T Severini on May 15, 2025, 10:12:42 PM
Not seeing a word on the Black Eyed Susan (BES) nor the Pimlico Special (PS). What\'s going on boys?  Where\'s Silver Charm? Light the fire!

No insight whatsoever on the BES. It does appear not an Oaks runner is scheduled. The Pimlico Special looks like an opportunity.  More handicapping to ensue.

Regarding my affinity for Burnham Square, noted the trainer says he\'s pointing to the Matt Winn on Belmont Day. Disappointed to hear that, but Grade I won\'t inure to a gelding\'s benefit and perhaps the trainer has second thoughts about ability. We\'ll see. (He\'s taking the Neoequos Route!)

I don\'t have the sheets for this race, but on PPs, I like Amarth because I think she has a class edge.  She ran 2nd to Oaks runner up Drexel Hill & beat the Oaks show horse, Bless the Broken last November.  Nobody else here has been competitive with the Oaks fillies.

T, How about River Thames in the Preakness, paired up and moved forward & paired that number again last out. Looking for him to move forward again and a 2-3 point improvement puts him right there , 10-1 on the early betting.

Maybe box him with the \"Silver Vet\'s\", LOL, horse.

Taking the cue from TGJB and tossing Journalism & let him beat me at what probably ill be around 4/5 or lower.
