Woodbine Mile - Gr1

[PhantomOnTour]

I think the :9: Jack Milton is an undeserving favorite here.
Kaigun offering good value at 4-1 currently.

Thinking of trying a few longshots... :7: and :10: ...but is Gary Boulanger really gonna win the WO Mile?
Ran close to Kaigun in his last and gets weight today...late closing sprinter needs pace and a sustained run.
The :10: is a stretch with a clear preference for poly over turf, but comes from a top outfit with a top jock up today...sharp and maybe can get some.

Who ya' got?

Here's the play:

EX:
2-5-11 w 7-10
(small) EX:
7-10 w 2-5-7-9-10-11...been a good day so far so let's swang for it.
WIN:
7-10
TRI:
5 w 2-9-11 w 7-10

good luck

I'll take a decent Euro @ 9-2

I had the winner in the mile and a half race earlier from the same stable,
although he was lucky not to get DQed.

20secs into this race and I'll tell you now that I am not hitting this

[PhantomOnTour]

Good call fellas - a few of you had that winner

I bet this race every year and cannot remember the last time I hit it. :bang:

[jettroofer]

Thank goodness for the box. Had my wps bet on the 5. Had the 2+5 ex 10 times and hit the $2 tri. I'll take it

How often do you see a million dollar stakes race closing out a card?

Not too often.

I had some Tri's with the 1 to be 3rd behind a packet of contenders.....i tossed the 4, and he hurt me by not going to the front like his PPs said he loves to do. If he's on the lead, the 8 isnt 3rd. :bang:

Cant remember when and a good pick. 9/2 and 5/1 on the other euro were gifts considering the competition.

BC Classic is the only one I can think of.
No point in running another one after that race.
Best to end with the best on BC days.

Euro trainers are on a mission when they ship abroad.
Unless they are trying to sell a horse after bringing it over,
or the owner intends to change stables and base the horse
in North America, you can't leave them out when figuring
a turf stakes race. Especially, if the odds aren't too low.

Btw, trainer states the Woodbine Mile winner will likely
race next in the BC Mile. No surprise there, but the
competition will be stiffer.

The selling or changing stables always freaks me out, I dont know if they are doing that and hard to play not knowing what they are doing.

I guess they have to supplement to get into BC Mile and dont know what kind of chance they will have riding on the pool table grass surface.

Interesting stat on Pletcher in Graded turf races - 2 for 50 something?
