So What Happens If.......

[Bham41]

Still Think Royal ASS.ault has a exotic chance.  Based on the morning Line Odds and the post position.  Either the race will go off with a super box of 2,5,8,9 winning or the second best probability will be 1,6,8,9 getting the superfecta but alas even the
4,6,8,9 has an outside chance. Needless to say if I hit look for me as Bham41 no more! I am coming back as Dr. Derby which is the reverse of Derby Drive the main entrance to the track I bet at, also significant of my style of reverse handicapping which has its perks as HIND SIGHT is 20/20 and you don\'t have the wait involved but T Graph did that too.

I see no one beating Smarty...but other than RHT, I will play the Preakness undercard angle with him in the tri - remember Sarava?  Smarty/RHT,Royal Assault/RHT,RA

Smarty does things he isn\'t supposed to do, from a pedigree standpoint. Remember Conquistador Cielo?? Wins the Met Mile, then the Belmont in the same week! Just read the latest SI article, where a trainer who has been in the game for 30+ years talks about the fact that Smarty is the only horse he has ever seen NOT MAKE A SOUND when he works out. That means he has an amazing heart/lung mechanism that could overcome just about anything.

I\'m sitting this one out, hoping he wins the crown; the sport needs it!

ka-ching!!! IRS time.....$10 pick 4.

thanks Bit-player.



The 2003 Grade I Champagne winner at Belmont with a 120 late pace rating from BRIS off of the slow early Champagne fractions.

Some horses just run better when allowed to run to the pace that suits them best.  

From pre-derby favorite in February to 36-1  just because of a couple of bad races in the goo. I love this game!!!!


Good Luck,
Joe B.
