Title: These aluminum pads on Birdun are pushing me to the other two longshots
Post by: covelj70 on June 10, 2011, 12:21:20 PM
I don\'t like either of the two favs in the Brooklyn and I thought Birdrun was the one but I don\'t like the aluminum pads so I think I will try the Pletcher horse and the Afleet Alex. They are both faster than the two favs.

Ashame about these shoes as I thought we were onto something with Birdrun

Hey Mr. Intel, where did you read that about the aluminum pads?  Did he wear themlast race?

They were announced with the rest of today\'s changes.  He did not wear them last time, but I\'m told he has run with them in the past.

Jim,

You discarded a 5/2 shot on a sound handicapping principle. Going a mile and a half in a Grade II with 2 aluminum pads, come on ??? At 15/1 yes you can take that shot not at 5/2.

My wife tells me all the time, \"Stick to your first decision!\"  And yours is likely saying the same thing to you right now!  When Jerry asked if us guys were looking at the sheets for this race, I pulled them up and it confirmed your initial outlook.  And thanks to roundman for mentioning that he had worn aluminum pads before.
Migliore was saying he didn\'t think Birdrun would get the distance.  But didn\'t Birdstone win the Belmont.  And why does everyone doubt the Shack going 12F?  
Wire to wire double-one down, one to go.
