I nearly fell over when i heard Battaglia say that. Still though, the odds on everyone else in the race just took a major hit. And LAL/SC do figure to be the ones most affected. <br /><br />Which leads to a question, which horse who ran his last race on dirt will take the most money? Would i be too far out of line if i thought it might be the Sunland Derby winner Endorsement?DiscreetPicksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-33435469421895179862010-04-25T12:01:08.667-04:002010-04-25T12:01:08.667-04:00There is more than meets the eye here.

"Lexington is her home, but Churchill is her favorite track and she's surely giving us every sign of being ready to run. She's going to need another race before she really defines herself the way she did early last year but I think she's 85 percent to 90, maybe 95, right now."<br /><br />85 percent? Get the fuck out of here. So you were like 65 percent before the last race? She loses again for sure.<br /><br />DirtyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-60693571598153621882010-04-24T07:27:40.770-04:002010-04-24T07:27:40.770-04:00The alibi for Pleasant Prince is that he didn'...The alibi for Pleasant Prince is that he didn't like the Keeneland surface in the Blue Grass.

Should have been on dirt, somewhere.<br /><br />And he already has a runner in the race so what is so urgent about Prince running here on short rest other than to keep someone else out? <br /><br />Does not say much for Dean's Kitten's chances.<br /><br />I used to be totally against further limiting the field size but am now beginning to see the wisdom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
