Wise Dan - Horse Racing Forum - PaceAdvantage.Com

PoloUK6108 · 10-05-2013, 02:26 AM

Since his victory in the Shadwell turf last fall, I've been on the Dan bandwagon. He's my favorite kind of horse, a chestnut gelding who just plain gets it done.

He reminds me so much of my grandfather's horse who I've mentioned here before, Bet On Sunshine. He too was a chestnut gelding who had a long, successful stakes career, and he loved Keeneland and Churchill Downs. Over the course of his current streak of 9 consecutive wins, I've seen 4 in person, and hit the tri with Dan alone on top 3 times. He's been good to me.

Wise Dan goes for 10 straight tomorrow, and I can't wait to see it in person. Watching him run is really something to see. Wish my buddy hadn't crapped out on me, (who goes to work on Saturday, right?

) but I still plan to have a ball on my own. It feels like Christmas Eve! The real FallStars show up tomorrow, boys! Gunna be a fun day of exciting racing, will anyone else from PA be in attendance?

Hoping class rules here, as it is turf and a G1. My class ratings in ranked order (top 6):

Will bet the top 3 (

) at 2/1 or higher odds, so I'll likely be betting against Wise Dan due to his low odds.

Well it's not a Handicap so he not giving weight... that minimizes the gate position. He's a smart horse as long as JV let's him run his race should be #10.

I'll not bet against him.

I'll not bet against him.

If I were betting a single horse I would bet him at any odds, however that's not the way I play. I'd rather get beat by a low priced horse than take only 1 shot, in races like this, with a low priced horse.

Good chance of it, we all know that anything can happen in individual races.

So.. is it raining in Keenland now? Well it is..
and so how will yielding turf affect this. Will Silver Max wire it?

Well.. they just announced it:

KEE Race 9 = Shadwell 1 1/16th polytrack Stakes race!

off the turf.. wonder how many scratches... and if Wise Dan scratches or plays against a smaller field?

Tom · 10-05-2013, 04:47 PM

Do champions scratch when it rains?
He has been touted as not jut a grass horse ....he better run.

The connections don't need much of an excuse to duck.
