Very intrigued by this race and the extreme probability that Forest Boy is going to regress. I\'m still wondering whether to buy into this whole \'bounce\' thing. While its a virtual certainty he won\'t repeat his 3 or exceed it (though the pattern indicates a 40% chance of a new top). I\'d love to hear what you guys think he\'s likely to do Friday. And Harty\'s horse ran an amazing 6 against a pretty severe bias in his debut - he should bounce as well, no? Starzilla is exiting one of the key races of the year (it would appear). With just a fondness for the trip and a little maturity, he could easily go to a 7 or so, I\'d imagine that would win a lot of 2 turn msw\'s....
FB ran on Nov 18th at Hollywood in a 2 turn race and was a \'sure winner\' in midstretch and somehow failed to hit the board while \'pulling himself up\' in deepstretch and moving to the lead \'too soon\'.
Today is 2nd time Blinkers and he\'s possibly lone speed...with that said, i\'ll be looking to beat him with some fancy bred horse who is bred to be a true route horse. Of course, if speed dominates early in the card, that could change my opinion.
