Turf at WO today 09.16.09

[stillinger]

I don\'t follow this venue, so grain of salt here, but when I look up last couple of days some one is wiring on the WO turf. Since the last turf race I was really interested in here was Lesroidesanimaux, a day that it was Irish in flavor, I was surprised. This seems a Kip Deville, Shakespeare, and Remarkable-Newsy, 5TH Try, kind of day here.
Host always has to go around everyone,looked old lately, like me.
Becrux I bet last time and got the trip and was disappointed, saves ground again.
Shakespeare will certainly be overbet, or would in US, not favorite distance, imo
Sky Conqueror is very nice, but longer and softer best.
Art Master got a trip and failed to a horse that likes longer imo,
Arravale I am sexist,
Galantas is gimmick only to me,
Cinqiueme Essai is old but 3rd off a layoff, still quick.
I would love Shakespeare at any price if the race were on this surface, but at 9f,
Or Remarkable News if Cinquieme Essai were\'t in the race or if he were inside that one. I would like Sky Conqueror if it were 9f+, softer. Kip Deville needs a trip, he doesn\'t POP at the end, so traffic hurts him, but he has lots of good stuff, including his tricky trainer - I think he could throw a 1 now, but him saving ground is dicey since he needs to get on with it behind the outside speeders.

With Retibution outside, and Red Zipper inside, and a practice run in the bank, I think the Zipper will win today at BEL. WO is too hard for me. ON the other hand, Red Zipper ain\'t the kind you write about.
