Title: Tampa Derby
Post by: Michael D. on March 17, 2006, 10:14:24 AM
bluegrass cat - coming off the \"2.5\", carrying 122 lbs... he\'s no lock. problem with trying to beat him is that you have the jr/pletcher team, and post two. who\'s going to beat him if he gets the perfect rail trip? i will use irish majesty. decent figure last, fair pace up front, and the jock switch to castellano. i\'m not sure the son of arch is going to appreciate the cutback in distance, but odds will be long. thoughts out there?

Yeah that pletcher is a problem, the post looks bad to me, as BRIS has posts 1-3 at 7% over 172 races. Posts 4-7 are the best. BC looks very vulnerable at 3/5. I am looking at Storm Treasure and/or Little Cliff.
