This potential field has me nauseous. It\'s abysmal. Chances R Heat Lightning and Master of Hounds enter the fray? R Heat Lightning would double the number of triple-figures Beyers in the race. As for the Master, c\'mon, Aidan, bring that beast over here to slay this fraudulent group of 3-year-olds.
What is it about a 20 horse field, where the favorite might be 8/1, that makes you
nauseous?
These are the kind of betting opportunities that do not appear often.
It\'s a great betting race, no doubt. As it stands now, the tri will be 10K-plus. But I would still like to see R Heat Lightning and Master of Hounds because I want to see the best 3-year-olds in the race.
I think that what he really means is that this group of 3 yr olds doesn\'t seem worthy as of yet. There is still a lot of time though. I agree that it would be nice to see Master of Hounds in the derby, but what a tough ship. Historically, that ship has not let to many positive results next time out.
Are you kidding? Master of Hounds would be lucky to run 19th against the prospective field.
But that\'s perfect. He would take some bad money.
This is true.
I think there\'s a couple waiting to explode in the Arkansas Derby as well.. I look for big efforts (TG 2 or better) from ArchArchArch, Astrology, and Elite Alex.
