Title: Pacific Classic
Post by: Michael D. on August 27, 2010, 04:24:31 PM
Crowded House - not a bad close in the Dubai World cup, over a surface difficult to close over. add lasix to that \'2.75\', and who knows? 1st lasix last was on short rest off the trip across the pond, and there was no way he was getting up at 9f with the :11 final 1/8. was that just a prep for this one? might really like the 10f over the Dmr poly. quite speculative, obviously, but I\'ll be using Crowded House at the ml of 20-1.

Richard\'s Kid - also closed well in the World Cup, better than CH. but, again, he was against the grain there. comes back with a pair of 2\'s, similar to last year, with the mile and a half race a 1/4 beyond his liking. very strong figure in this race last year, and I\'m assuming this has been the target since Dubai.

Use Crowded House and Richard\'s Kid.

Thanks Michael. Nailed this one on your advice. Would not have used Crowded House otherwise.

Congrats!  It seems like at least one of you main handicappers on the board hits a pretty nice one that you posted every week!  I would do well to scrap my lame handicapping skills and just bet all the exotics you guys have strong opinions on...
