Title: Nopex
Post by: Michael D. on February 14, 2005, 01:52:39 PM
tough to take the plunge there at 3-1, but that horse was impressive. i don\'t think 1:46.1 is all that fast for that course, but the horse rated nicely and just exploded at the end..... now you get JR and 1-9 on forest danger. i have been waiting for months to watch this horse. might want to see him lose though, get a nice carryover going into wednesday\'s card.

you will never make money betting on this guy, but forest danger might be the fastest horse i have ever seen run. i really hope they keep him sprinting.

Forest Danger is very fast, but he beat a bunch of allowance horses today.  He also has already been run off his feet by Medallist if I remember correctly.

i think it\'s fair to say he came back a much better horse, and i think medallist got him going 1m. i like FD staying short. medallist is a great one too though. he freaked last time out. can\'t wait to see how fast that race comes up.

beyer,
it\'s tough to judge the two performances, i don\'t know how the track surfaces compare, but i think FD just ran about five lengths laster than medallist did a few weeks ago going 6.5f (time wise). i think medallist was wound up pretty good too, he bore out badly at the end (he didn\'t want much more). JR just had a tight strangle on FD for the last few furlongs. no telling how fast the horse could have run. i would imagine the two will meet soon enough.
