Dang, I wish we could use the internet to do some sort of PvP prop bet on that one!

(I should probably look at the race before opening my yap, but I have a long-standing grudge against that filly... :D ...)

Okay, okay... don't want to mess up the Birthday thread, so I'll just lay it all out there. She's run well the last few - really buried me last time when she contested the fast splits for the distance and hung around to barely get beaten by a filly who I endorsed as a claim. The thing that has really gotten me is how much better she has been in the gate lately. She can be a plum idiot and has been scratched for flipping before. Just to make matters worse, Martin Bordieau has been getting some sort of ridiculous leeway in what he rides. He got hurt, yeah, but he rides the first, takes off the second, rides the third, takes off the next two, rides his last... The guy's a good guy and a solid jock at TuP, but with this filly's history, the rail draw, and two pretty fast mares outside of her (3 & 7 in particular), I'd have no choice to follow my useless instincts and play against, yet again.

Who to play? I thought Sailaway Lady ran a big one last time against some decent fillies, but I just don't find it a terribly encouraging sign that she came here from Justin Evans to this barn off of back-to-back wins over in New Mexico prior to her last try there. Just smells bad to me, but if the price was ridiculously good and not the 8-5 I expect... I kinda sorta like the outside mare here - She Can Roar. Not big on anything that Silva actually decides to sell, but... Got away terribly last time, rushed up, got a goofy trip into hot splits and faded. Outside today, better gate jock, presumably determined effort to get right on the pace and at the price, if the ill-conceived CO-bred claim and Sailway Lady disappoint, there may not be a whole lot of running going on behind the action up front and that would conceivably leave this pseudo-bomber in the right spot at the right time.

Of course, I have a strong policy about not playing opening or closing weekend at Turf Paradise, but since we're just posturing, what the hell. :cool:

[LottaKash]

Birthday Greetings to you CJ....I hope one of your numbers plays, is an outright Bomber, today...:jump:

No, I was there and it was around 7:00 PM on a Friday. He was the most precocious child one can imagine. Skipped a grade at 6 (1st to 2nd) and had to wait a year to get into the USAF, where he served 23 years.

So proud of him and his wife and children.
