As I get one over the top of the pile of work that has accumulated while I did all the seminar work-- anyone hear anything about the Rag seminar, or who Friedman likes?
I have to say the level of discourse about the BC has been pretty high on this site.
I also have to say that while I certainly feel for RHT\'s connections, that loud sound you heard at around noon was me.
Copied from another list:
Some may be interested to hear Len Friedman\'s take on certain horses. Here
are his opinions on some of the horses discussed here:
Juvy Fillies:
Along the Sea -- likes as a longshot key
Sensation -- doesn\'t like her
Juvenile:
Loves Stevie Wonderboy
F&M Turf:
Film Maker -- put him in the \"she reacts\" camp
Sundrop -- a use
Riskaverse -- he likes better than Film Maker
Wend -- thinks she goes back
Flip Flop -- would throw in if he was betting the race
Wonder Again -- no bargain
Intercontinental -- double top fried her
Mona Lisa -- a use
Sprint:
Attila\'s Storm -- his key
Lost in Fog -- 30-40% chance he bounces to a 2. Will save heavily with him
Gygistar -- likes him, a use, but will lose ground
Mile:
Artie -- overlay if above 6-1
Whipper -- could be key
Funfair -- nice pattern, could improve
Majors Cast -- a use, not a key, double top negative
Singletary -- just another horse to use in exotics
Valixir -- strong
Leroi -- borderline use at all. Could bounce to moon
Distaff:
Ashado -- thinks she\'ll run a 5
Yolanda -- could move forward
In the Gold -- outside chance to run her 3, def. value at 20-1
Turf:
Shirocco -- def. use
Bago -- low value
Better Talk Now -- nothing negative. 8-1 is good
Azamour -- most likely winner
Ace -- last was excusable. Use.
Shakespeare -- play him out of the money
Silverfoot -- no
Fourty Niners Son -- could run a 2-3. Use.
Gun Salute -- use lightly in exotics
Classic:
Perfect Drift -- probably runs 1-3. Possible key.
Sir Shackleton -- can run the 1\" -- possible key.
Borrego -- play against
A Bit O\'Gold -- use
Saint Liam -- won\'t play against, will use as major saver. Still prefers to
key on a longshot.
Starcraft -- most Aussies run on turf only. A stretch to get in the money.
Hey Jerry,
Give us your best gut assumption on what happens to Super Frolic tomorrow. While he is slower than some for the Classic his stle certainly fits this race if used properly. Here at Keeneland betting BC simulcast. Not as cold as you all are. Good luck tomorrow !!!!! The fact that RHT dropps out only has to help!!!!
Sincerely
NC Tony
