Great betting race.
New top coming for Yawana Twist???
Good Luck,
Joe B.
No thanks on Yawanna Twist. Just good enough to beat these.
Gonna key Tizway, giving him one more chance this year. Thinking it comes down to him, Haynesfield or Caixa Electronica.
I like Iboyee to catch a blistering pace setup by Haynesfield, Tackleberry, and Tizway and nail them at the wire.
Agree with the blistering pace, which I think sets it up for Soaring Empire, a horse that was very disappointing last year, but now seems to be improving and living up to his potential.
Jimbo:
Tizway will definitely be on my ticket.
Would love to know how ol\' Todd revived CE to run a # like that as a 6 year old.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
Ibboyee broke my heart when he could not get up in the CDH and flew by all of them after the wire. His pattern is explosive IMO and suggests another forward move is possible, although by the sire profile he is only due 2 pts of development this year (understand this is not a hard rule but more of a guideline).
But if the track plays as speedy as it did yesterday, it will be hard to bet him with much confidence. Granted there were a lot more 6f races yesterday and that may have had something to do with the appearance.
The other with an explosive looking pattern is Storm\'s Majesty, who might be a bit closer to the pace. Agree that Yawana Twist, at least on pattern and sire index, is eligible to throw a big one as well.
Tizway has to be respected for certain. Caixa is not for me, he has never strung 2 races together before and just ran a lifetime best. Looking for a bounce from Aikenite, and not sure what to do with Haynesfield. Agree Soaring Empire should run well also, although he is likely to get shut off on the rail and will have to find a chance to move off it and get around.
Think I\'ll use both Ibboyee and SM as keys with B-horses being Tizway, SoarEm, and YT. If track looks very speedy use Haynesfield and Tackleberry (1st time lasix, strange) as a C tier. A large spread, but with the odds you\'ll get on the keys it should be worth taking as stab.
EDIT - Also give me Naples Bay to defeat Winter Memories in the race before

I don\'t think TAP revived CE as much as he brought out the potential that\'s still left. I saw this one as a maiden and later in his career at Calder and always wondered how good he would be in the hands of a top trainer. He was often placed there very badly. I will reluctantly use him in the race.
I am also throwing in Rodman...he\'s not there for nothing and on his best?......hoping one of these beats the obvious entries.
Aikenite lies the Track and the Mile distance. Put in 3 strong races this years against Top Competition and finished willingly in last to break my heart.
Solid price in what is really a good race and field!

Hopefully you guys put this altogether and hit the tri.... Nice competitive race, wish there were more of these..
Nice key there Jimbo. Hope you went deep enough in the first and last leg to hit the pick 4 with two singles in the other two legs. Nice verticals as well, hope you had them too.

good work Jim. he won like an 8/5 shot. hope you managed to mix CE in there successfully.
Nice call Alm on Rodman. Wow, that could have triggered a big hit.
Mj and Michael D,
Didn\'t hit vertically, I wasn\'t smart enough to use Rodman, bet heavily with Tizway over Coaixa and Haynesfield. Made some money horizontally across multi-races, otherwise would have been a wasted key!
Tough game. Felt good turning for him with Tizway jogging and Coaixa seemingly in position for 2nd. Hard for me to believe that was Rodman chewing up ground to get a very clear 2nd.
The two of them \"spreadeagled\" the field. 3 lengths between them and then another 5 to the 3rd place horse. Could be a very good figure.
Heard Bond today on Steve Byk\'s radio show and despite Steve continuing to talk to him about the Breeder\'s Cup Mile, Bond seemed more inclined to go for the Classic. That radio show is excellent, by the way, for those that haven\'t heard it. Steve does a great job of getting really informative guests. Unfortunately, the idiots at Sirius radion took the last 2 hours of it off the air as of a few weeks back.
