BR & BA - Both or Neither Bounce?

[Gator]

Haven\'t posted in years (yes a lurker) but enjoyed all your commentary.

Just seeing if anyone wanted to put out their opinion BEFORE the race whether BR and Bandini would both do ok (basically pair up or real close to that), or just one of them will (why one and not the other?), or will both blow up (ala Castledale, The Cliffs Edge, and Friends Lake last year)?

I figure everyone will come out of the woodwork AFTER the race and say \'see i told you so\' when all is said and done.

So I\'ll go first (albeit Jerry and some of you already opined to this obviously via other threads)...I\'m thinking along the lines of Ghostzapper in the BCC and BOTH BR and Bandini will run close to their tops (albeit i think a -3 for BR will win and a -2 of Bandini will be right there).  I\'m thinking they made major jumps but unlike the 3 horses last year these are quality numbers and they will be like a gymnast and stick their landing.  (I know technically a -3 for BR might be a bounce but point is it is not a blow up to a 0 or a 3 or 5 or 10 or such...it\'s another solid neg fig)

One worthless opinion, but it\'s in the open:)

Would be interested in what others think about what these two will do based on this pattern coming into this race...

my order of running based on tg for the race is BR 1st, Bandini 2nd, then NC, HL, GG, and AA all possibly running the same figs....may not pay much but hey every pay out in the KD is good if you look back at history - even when the top 2 favorites hit the board.

as someone here says - may they all come home safely.  gorgeous weather out this way so it should be a great race.

all you TG folk win some money today!  it\'s good to see the positive posts on the board lately and less of the bashing of the competition finally:)

I\'m also handicapping this one on the basis that they will hold form. The best value is obviously going to be Greeley\'s and hes\' very fast on TGraph and a must use.

well so much for that call...guess they both blew up like the other 3 did last year

as everyone on here is saying you have to laugh at this one as this had to be one of the worst run races ever

but at least i saw a $1.8 mil super-tri in my lifetime!
