Looks like a series final.
Manhardt looking for 5 in a row.
Maltese Artist
Special Report
Mr. Feelgood
Awesome group. Manhardt looks tough to beat. I can't imagine they are going to be sending Maltese Artist from the 10 hole off the short lay off with the Levi series at Yonkers on the horizon next week. Special Report, while also in the Levy, will be blasting and Asher/Stalbaum win with horses who have a short break. Mr. Feelgood is obviously best, after winning the two biggest FFA series so far this year. He is also nominated to the Levy, leaving me wondering what their intentions will be.

The odds were bizzare in this race. Like you said, Mr Feelgood is obviously best. Mr Feelgood should've been the favorite and Special Report should've been 2nd choice. I made Mr Feelgood 2-1 and Special Report 5-2 and picked the $78 exacta cold in my usta picks.

Pandy,
What a gift that was last night. $78 exacta for the two best older pacers at this moment? And 4-1 on Mr. Feelgood to win the race. Unreal.
My reservations were correct about Maltese Artist, it looked like he was just out for the ride after floating away from the gate and than Sears sat in with him.
I was also right about Stalbaum blasting with Special Report no matter what was on the horizon, he only knows one way to drive and that is blast and improve position. Which I don't mind, atleast I know what I'm getting.
Manhardt looked flat but after a 58 second middle half, he would have needed to be tons the best to run past those first two.
2-1 on Free De Vie wasn't bad either after he unleashed a 26 flat second quarter to brush to the lead last week.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Manhardt, he just isn't quite as good as those others. Special Report is one of the fast leavers I've ever seen.

I am very happy to see the incresed number of posts in the harness section and the quality of the posts has been outstanding. The Levi series at Yonkers should be outstanding. I believe that Maltese Artist does his best racing on the smaller sized tracks, which will make that Yonkers series even better. A very very solid group of older pacers in action right now.
Would like to say this to all my s-bred betting friends once again, if your in an area that you can sign up with Premier Turf Club, then I would urge you to do so. They offer outstanding customer service, the best rebates in the business and a super easy to use betting platform that has "condintional" betting an item which no other ADW has.
Pandy----I of course do not know what your commitments are to the USTA people and there web site but maybe you could talk with Ian of PTC about using some of your software data on the PTC site. Sort of like John D does with his t-bred data.

Pandy,
I didn't mean something was wrong with Manhardt, that is why I said he looked flat but the race really didn't shape up for him. They went so slow in that middle half he had no shot.
They came home in 26.0 flat and he paced his final quarter in 25.3 ...

Good capping guys. I do agree that the exacta and win price were overlays. However, I have not seen anything in the last two months that tells me Manhardt is not the best horse on the grounds. No way he can make up the ground in those fractions. If the same horses ran next week he would be chalk again unless he drew extreme outside. Some of his miles in Feb are the best of the meet.All of that said, Feelgood should not have paid more than $6 and change and the exacta was huge. By the way, how about the mile from Artist's View after not kicking at all the week before.

Artist View was awesome. However, he was so awesome this week and yet so poor last week that it makes me shake my head and wonder why?

I originally thought that they just gave the horse a mild try but after watching the replay the horse was really empty because the trip turned out perfect.
