Title: Turf
Post by: SoCalMan2 on November 03, 2012, 01:56:01 PM
What about Optimizer?  Horse will be 50-1.  Horse will be on the lead by himself as long as he can go.  Ran a 5.75 as a 2 yo.......after a somewhat lost season chasing the triple crown, he finally got onto the turf and finally has broken through his 2yo top.....he is going to be 1w1w with only 122 pounds.  If he moves forward to a 2 (not that big a jump in light of his 2yo top and recent turf performances)....then horses are going to need to run very big numbers to catch him with 126 lbs and problems with closing.  Just a thought.....need to figure out a way to make some money if I am right.

Can\'t get in front of Little Mike??  You must not have access to TG Race Shapes.

Have the race shapes...just thought I was smarter...wrong again.

He looked unrateable to me..Never headed before..Dominguez forced to tuck with speed inside and out and it worked out well...really well..I couldn\'t have him based on race shapes..The trip he got was what I thought turbo compressor was going to get..still didn\'t like either..Hope you guys hit as the seminar did mention as a contender..After reading JErry\'s comments I think think my exact words were ..Awww come on Jerry..
