totally random on Life is Sweet but....

[covelj70]

....I had forgotten that Life is Sweet is a full sister to Sweet Catomine.

In looking back at the lifetime figs for Sweet Catomine, she ran a 1.75 as a two year old.  My god, what a filly she was.  I had forgotten how fast she was until I was looking at the siblings section for Life is Sweet.

I am pulling for Zenyatta on Saturday because I think the undefeated thing is pretty cool but objectively, I think we have to say that Life is Sweet is the more likely winner as

1) her best number is just as fast as Zenaytta\'s
2) she is getting 4 lbps
3) Z\'s figures are always a bit inflated by the 7 wide trips which she is always likely to get given her running style

Cov,

Did not see the entries but they both have the exact running style. Anything in there that can run that will out position them?.One run closers with those wide figs always have my bullseye on their back.

Mike,

As usual, you are right.  I went back to look at race shapes and they are both projected to be 9L\'s back, roughly in the same spot.  

I had Life is Sweet\'s last race in my head which was a small field so it wasn\'t as much of an issue but it will be this weekend with a surprisingly large field.

That said, hard to see one of these two not winning this race given how much they lay over the field in term of figures, even with the weights.

I have a filly in the last race on Sat at Hollywood right after the Zenyatta race that I think has a shot so I will be playing the 2x1 late doubles as my filly should be a bit of a price.

Thanks Cov,

One on my best shots is to go after horses with running styles like Zenyatta, Life is Sweet, IF there is an alternative.If they both lay over, I\'ll probably pass.

Good luck with your filly in the last.

Please don\'t forget one big thing if you\'re going to bet against Zenyatta tomorrow.  She will probably improve off her negative numbers from last year as she has had almost 7 months to mature even more.  Still think Life is sweet is the most likely winner?

Any opinion on AllIcansayis Wow--she ran a 3 on synth in Europe--her winning race at Hol was the race in which she clipped heels and Talamo somehow gathered her up and won--visually, it was impressive. I don\'t know the figure she ran last out, but she is ML 20-1. Biancone seems to be winning a little after a very long dry spell upon completion of his suspension. I\'d think you can use her underneath at that price. Talamo has won stakes races the past 2 Saturdays on long shots--one was for Biancone. Aside from the 2 Sherriffs/Moss horses, who else is in the race?

[covelj70]

I do think Life is Sweet is more likely as I don\'t think that they have Zenaytta is fully cranked given that they have plans for a long campaign for her.

I will use both of them in the pk 4 though as it\'s pretty much a free space by using 2 of them as I can\'t see anyone else winning this and there should be some prices in the other legs.

Miff. You remind me of Rocky Balboa

Cov,

Nice win, congrats!

Thank you so much.  I was so excited that she got popped first time on the turf and going long like that.  Breeding gives her license to be any kind but you never know until they do it like she did it today.

Thanks so much again.

I thought your filly ran a great race. Congratulations! I hope I get to see her run at Del Mar this summer.
