Coolmore Lexington - Bombs Away!!!

[sekrah]

I love Summer Front in here, but holy cow

Hammers Terror (An Artie Schiller) coming back to the synthetics (where he ran a 6 as a two year old), coming off a buried race down at the Fair Grounds.  30-1 Morning Line.

All Squared Away - Trainer switch to Wesley Ward, has yet to have a backward move at 50-1 morning line.


And I really dislike some of the others thata will get bet.  The toteboard might be getting lit up tomorrow.

Sekrah, Summer Front appears to have missed a work 2 wks back, he\'d been going every 7-8days down in FL, and just shippedTuesday I believe to KY.  Clement not eye-popping off layoffs and this one has never lost despite trouble in last, the G3 win.  Could you expound on your two longshots?  Nothing is sticking out to me.

I like Golden Ticket - improving/great breeding for poly, the Guerilla, and will be watching tote on News Pending who looks to run good/bad/good /bad - today is the good day. I will add Johannasbourbon to the exotics.  5/1/10/3 box and in pik 4, maybe add your SF under, but not for the win.

I saw Castaway in March at OAK, and he started last summer on poly, but the ones he\'s beaten are rather forgettable at this point.

Shanahan,

How do you figure Golden Ticket has great breeding for poly? I know Speighstown is ok but the dam was clear dirt and GT\'s poly/turf races have been the slowest of his life.  While I love the horses pattern, I think he prefers dirt, so this horse was an easy throwout for me, especially considering he\'s really going to get bet.

Nice call.  I Dutched the win bet on your two selections

[sekrah]

I\'ll take a Cashier\'s Check please.

[ajkreider]

Another great call.  Hope you played him.

[P-Dub]

Geezus Sek, on fire today.

Thanks for the post. I also dutched both of your plays. Having a good day and put some of it on yours. Thanks again, tremendous call.

EDIT: Just noticed you gave out the $4k buck tri. And the $500+ buck double.  Congrats to you on crushing the race.

[boston]

i bet both because of you.  thanks!

[phil23]

Call of the year.  Congrats, and thanks.

TY Sek!

I loved the 2 in there and did like the 8, but you mentioning the 9 horse made me include him in one of my Tri\'s. i had a HUGE tri 2 with all with 8 but didnt flip the bet, cost me a ton and i usually flip those things.

I might have thrown that horse out because i know him as a cheap claimer from Calif, but the \'fresh ww\' angle was the key i believe.

COngrats, hope you made a monster score!

Thnaks Sekrah.  Played All Squared Away after seeing your post.  Thought about putting the #2 underneath, but did not.  Appreciate it.

Well Done Sekrah. Outstanding handicapping, as usual

[TGJB]

The three horses with the \"buried\" marks (\"!\") all made the super.

No, I didn\'t play the race.

[Michael D.]

3 for 3. $143 winner. 8k tri. not bad.

[PapaChach]

great call.

i was playing light today, didn\'t use tg, poached some free brisnet pp\'s on a couple of races.

liked hammer\'s terror off of what i saw on the brisnet stuff - two good poly #s last year , one of which was at keeneland, far better than his later dirt and turf #s...i know, i know, bris #s are suspect, but...anyway, he showed a dirt win off the lay, a wide fade in the lecomte, and a troubled/wide third on turf in stakes, three sharp works at keeneland since, beaten fave up in class...old skool, eh?  

looked here before i bet the race and saw your note, thought, well, guess i\'m not the only out there crazy enough to like this horse.

had decided ahead of time to bet hammer\'s terror to win and place...when stidham won the sprint race just prior to the lexington i went fishing for something else for a minute since i generally don\'t like betting trainers to win two races in a row but i just couldn\'t talk myself into anything else, so went ahead with the win/place and keyed him and the clement in top three spots in a tri with all squared away, gold megillah, and holiday promise in 2nd and 3rd...shouldn\'t complain too much because it was sorta half-assed handicapping and the only reason i threw in all squared away was due to your recommendation but still felt about ready to throw up in mouth after they hit the wire...i know boxing is generally bad strategy but even a forty or fiddy cent super box of my five woulda made my year...

again, great call. you da man. you must have been the only person in america to tout this thing in public today, hope you needed a brink\'s truck to take you home...
