Was that the weakest Frankel Odds On horse you ever saw or what?
lol
Bring it on
Too good to last, the top two both closed the hole. I bet Bahama comes down...replay is grainy....I was hot
oh well, I still think they both closed the hole...if Bailey was up on John they prolly take Absent down
These New Yorkers are pounding Frankel and Pletcher. I\'ve had my luck but with any continuation of the trend there could be some more good odds here.
4th- Rating Agency sure looks to be controlling speed, but he just can\'t win. I\'m gonna watch, but the firsters dont impress me. Neither does the field

Had to smile at \"Rags Sheet\" gettin tossed into the circular file in the 4th.
Is Shaniko an even money horse? lol
I mean he may turn out to be, but has he shown it yet. He\'s burned favorites money a couple times. Blinkers today. 4 A.p. Indy\'s in here...lol i want to take a shot at him, but I can\'t figure with who here. Portlandate seems like he must have the lead and with the weight Dansbury might make it hard on him. I just dont see late speed doing well yet, so Fragoso\'s horse is hard to back. If Shaniko don\'t win this one hes done.
Shaniko had the perfect set up. The ones with a chance battling everything else slow and behind him. He could mature into something, but that race didn\'t prove it.
Had to take Sinister and Value with the way the track is playing and Hope Eddington doesnt have his lead change thing together. I put the Not for Love in second. I just have an odd feeling about him. Feelings aren\'t the way to bet usually...its small lol
Well theres some good horses in Eddington and SwingfortheFences that will be watching the Derby. Great race. Guess I was somewhat wrong about Tapit. Still no standout lol
Maybe there is a standout. TCE did not look bad today.

if shaniko runs another eighth in :14.3 he wins the wood. could he have done that? he ran his last quarter in about :25.3 .... i\'m guessing he could have run another :13 or so eighth, maybe :13.3 .... either way, he would have won the wood i think if he had entered (just looking at the math, and assuming he can go two turns, which he can)..... i knew VP was a toss, hard to believe the jones/pletcher team didn\'t see the obvious there.... well, mr jones and his wife like good seats at the big events, if the derby field does not fill, i bet they give it a shot with shaniko (just wishful thinking i guess, hate tossing up 50-1 tickets without getting a chance)....... the jones forestry horse is an absolute freak. dam had the cal 2f record for years, and i think she won the hol oaks. just an amazing amount of speed there. the horse could have run a few ticks faster as well, although there was no reason. we will see him in the preakness no doubt, although that may be stretching his distance limits.
