Title: FOY??
Post by: JEB on February 23, 2013, 08:01:43 AM
Is it just me or do none of these horses jump out?

Violence has the reputation but figs aren\'t great.

To me, Falling Sky looks like the best chance to move forward.

He\'s Had Enough has a competitive fig but O\'Neill not great at GP and coming back quick.

Elmutahid is interesting to me at 20-1. Trainer + Street Cry scream improvement to me. Typically, I do not like a huge step up in class (MSW to Graded stakes) but this field is underwhelming.

I think Falling Sky/Elmutahid will have to be my play.

Risen Star looks like a MUCH better race today!!

We scratched falling sky.

Just didn\'t want to run from the far outside and lose all that ground

Ground loss will be key in this race given how closely matched everyone is and we just couldn\'t figure a way where we weren\'t going to lose a ton of ground so we scratched.

Tampa bay derby is the target.

For what it\'s worth, I think violence wins this by a country mile. Can\'t bet him but I am not going to waste any money on anyone else.

Good luck all.
