I was at Monmouth last month when Better Talk Now ran last month and it seemed like he just couldnt get involved in the race at all..wound up having no response and seemed to run quite evenly... I feel this race is goin to have lots of speed to run at and with the current odds I think hes a good play.. 2nd race off the 60 day layoff and Motion should have the horse ready.. I am clueless to how these shippers will run so I played $50 wp and wheeled him up and down for $10..Good luck all about 5 min or so to post
The tin man going 1:15>?! riiiiight...
actually, I have the tin man as the fastest at the D...not the greatest payout in the world, and I admit to favoring him from a fan\'s perspective...but it\'s still the first one I\'ve won.
Well it was a good pick Congrats... just cant believe they let him go that slow...BTN got bumped around and once they hit that first turn i had no chance... anyway off to doing some studying... have to try to see if there is a way to beat Lava Man next week at Del Mar
What a beautiful facility Arlington is! I am convinced that it ia as nice as any track in the world. Had the opportunity with my host to visit the barns on the backside in the mornings, go in to the paddock, and watch the races from an owners box and/or the luxury suites. Also had the pleasure of meeting the track owner Mr D, Jerry Bailey, Early Fires, Bonnie the bugler, and several trainers. Actually rode up the elevator in my hotel with Dick Mandella the morning of the big race. He said his horse was feeling well. Had Tin Man singled! $$$ Between the Million win and the early pick four...all my expenses were paid. Great time. Never forget it. Would recommend a visit to this track to anyone. Good people. I have now been to Gulfstream, Tampa, Saratoga, Calder, Arlington, Suffolk, Monmouth, Fairplex and Churchill. Keeneland and DelMar are still on the \"wish\" list.
glad you enjoyed the track that changed my life (baseball strike, had never been to ahorse race)...it\'s the cleanest track inthe country without a doubt & Mr. D does a first class job in all areas. Did Saratoga 3 yrs back, doing Del Mar this week..but never miss Keeneland - fall and spring!
Now about those field sizes here @ Lone Star....
