Ottothelegend running in the 8th at Santa Anita today. He's a longshot but I will give him a little support.

I saw that. I actually like 10 Defunded.

you really had to dig deep to find a way to pick that horse to win the Wood..

72-1 $900 ex.. hope pletcher backed his 2 horses cause no one else did

I never ever would bet a longshot but I threw $2 wps on Bourbonic and won $198. Craziest thing ever.

So you could afford to throw a few bucks on Otto.

I am not ruling out Greatest Honour. Nobody sweeps the Holy Bull, FOY and Fla. Derby.

He's the horse you may catch at about 15-1 too. I will have to go back and watch the FL Derby again too. I am not talking myself into any foreign shipper this year

I like Concert Tour so far but if he wins this weekend he should be the favorite in the Derby

I wasn't a huge fan of Highly Motivated but ran big and pretty clear he loves that Keeneland surface

they should look at the largest attendance (120,139 in'04, i was there, Birdstone beat Smarty Jones) and then use that stupid 25% of capacity and and allow 30k in.

i think they now cap it at 90k, and even then you are looking at 22,500.

I wonder what the normal mid week crowd is. over the 200 days of nyra it avgs under 10k. Sar is over 20K on avg so I would say other than a few days of the meet they could open up to anything they wanted to allow

Belmont should be fine to allow 10K moving forward once they start there in a few weeks even with them using part of the facility as covid vaccine spot.

I think you will see Saratoga at 50% by the time they open

will have to throw a little that way just for the fun of it.

 

[phillydad]

A 2nd, a 3rd and a 4th in three preps, he earned those 32 points.

Going to have to regroup next week and see who is in and who is out. I kind of like Chad Brown's Highly Motivated who seems to be coming into form and answering the distance questions the past couple. going to take a look at Cox's other runners as well. I wouldn't bet Essential Quality with Bees' money

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Midnight Bourbon this might make you nervous

This horse might be worth a look too

The 20% limit for the SPA will be interesting until they decide if its seats or not.. I expect it will also go up a bit anyway by July hopefully

I think so to. There will be a decent crowd allowed, IMO. Really depends on the next 3 months for sure. They have options to space people out and could get creative

really the weekdays are never an issue other than 1-2 days of the whole meet outside.. even inside is usually pretty open.
