Weekend thoughts

[danmurphy jr]

Anybody doing Woodbine this Weekend
Saturday August 4th
Saratoga Race 9th - Darley Test(G1) - 7 Furlong
#12 Cotton Blossom 9/2 Will win with bounce back. Pletcher.
#11 Appealing Zophie #11 12/1 - Terrible post. SCRATCHED
#1A High Again 10/1) Has a chance if pace collapses.
#10 Boca Grande 15/1 May surprise.

Sunday August 5th
Monmouth - Haskell
#7 Hard Spun 5/2 - Victimized by two stupid rides in Preakness and Belmont
#2 Cable Guy 8/1 - Very playable as early speed.
#3 Stormello 15/1 Playable as big priced speed.
#6 Curlin 1/1 Will have to win as an underlay; not how anybody should play this game.
#1 Any Given Saturday 3/1 is my favorite; not quite fast enough to go with top 3. Interesting note. Pletcher ducked running against Street Sense in the Jim Dandy for this deeper field.

Just a perfect Saturday. The humidity is gone and lots of sunshine.
Dan, I like your Cotton Blossom but I have to put Dream Rush in too.

#7 Dream Rush Looks like the horse to beat
#12 Cotton Blossom beat DR

Going to play these over the top of

#3 Akronism
#10 Boca Grande

Gl Dan!

Dan, TVG just reported that Stormello looks like will be scratched for tomorrow.

What is your scenario for Cotton Blossom?? Will she get out and go straight to the rail and look to make her move top of the stretch?? Is the 7F long enough for her to get up in time or do you think the pace battle up front will help her.
I personally am with Axle and Down ridden by Edgar Prado.

Good Post. If you are personally down with Axle, go with it. The purpose of anyone posting is to lay out their thoughts for others to agree or not. We're trying to beat Curlin. My preferences are Hard Spun @ 5/2 and Any Given Saturday @ 3/1, not heartstopping odds.
If you believe in the bounce back and Pletcher.

Yeah it was really busy. Amazing to me how crazy people get over a t-shirt. I'll be going again later in the summer, maybe even next weekend. I need to get my free 50.
