Not much question he was an overlay @ 11/1. I preferred Silver Stetson Man, because i thought his stalking style was more conducive to a winning trip with so much speed in the race. But i had he and Johnny Eves ranked pretty close. They had run right together a few starts back, and if anything, Johnny Eves had the better recent form. <BR/><BR/>PS - It's worth noting that the 2yo Bob Black Jack (Race 2) ran faster than the Malibu horses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-31831857565411450692007-12-27T20:21:00.000-05:002007-12-27T20:21:00.000-05:00I liked Carillero.

If you gave me nine or ten picks in the race I still wouldn't have had him.<BR/><BR/>Can't believe he only paid $24.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
