No ROTW for 9/10,11 Weekend

[TGAB]

There will not be a Thoro-Graph race of the week this weekend. We\'ll be back next weekend.

[TGJB]

All you guys should feel free to do one.

The board would be better served silent this weekend.

I\'m \"looking\" at the Super Derby and my only questions are how much will the rail horse be over-bet , and what are the chances a horse could repeat a Delaware number at LAD  ? However , with that said - if morning line odds hold up , it\'s probably worth a flyer at 3-1 imo

Is there some reason you wonder about a Delaware number being repeated there?  It looks to me like Delaware horses hold up pretty well when they ship anywhere.

Don\'t have time for my usual windbag analysis (lucky YOU), but in the Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf (Race 5), #4 Seniga pretty much jumped off the Sheets at me:

* just as fast as the two favorites (actually, a point or two faster!), and gets a few lbs. from both

* has run at Kentucky Downs before; had the lead in this race last year and got caught late. Some sort of evidence that a horse can handle the uphill stretch run at this track is a HUGE plus.

This mare has a gappy sheet so she obviously has some health issues, but she tends to fire when they do race her. Might be overlooked here by snobbish (or sleeping) punters who don\'t realize what a tremendous and tough meet they just held at Indiana Downs; the rider is quite capable and won\'t attract money.

I\'ll bet Seniga to win at 5-1 or more, and use up and down with Persuading, Leopard Rock, and A She\'s Adorable.

Not to start a pissing contest, but my experience is just the opposite. IMO, the inmates are in control at Delaware, and the guards have disappeared.
 
I don\'t just downgrade, I toss \"big fig\" Delaware shippers, unless they are running at Monmouth. Can\'t remember getting burned by this, at least not recently.

You\'re both right-- Delaware and the Mid-Atlantic in general is Dodge City,AND the numbers in general hold up other places (recent example being the Steve Hobby filly who was dq\'d from third in the Ruffian). Certain guys, however (Scott Lake?) haven\'t gotten the same results when they came here. Motion gets numbers wherever he goes, but that one is coming off a huge one, and shipping into Louisiana, so it\'s anyone\'s guess what he\'ll do.
