You're exaggerating a bit and I know why he went to NY. I agree he's better on dirt, but he has handled synth before. The point was this is a totally different situation than the east coast horses going to Santa Anita to run in the Breeders Cup.

exacta box.

Beware the wise guy pick. This horse was absolutely destroyed when he faced this level of competition and didn't even do well at the group 3 level. He had one huge race on this surface, but the rest of his career has not been strong.

Buena Vista! I really like her.

I'm going to get my hair done and am bringing Dubai pp's to work on while there. Bet that's a first for my beautician lol.

I've read a bit about the tapeta surface. It's not as synthetic-y as ours here in the States? Thoughts anyone?

I think the whole point of liking him is believing that the Golden Sword at this year's Carnival is vastly different from the one we saw in 2010.

He is going to have to step up but his win last time out was awfully good and if he moves forward off it he'll be dangerous.

I'm betting Buena Vista.

Buena Vista should be tough as she is a wonderful runner, but I think Victoire Pisa has caught up with her. As great as Golden Sword did look in that race though, it was only an allowance. Twice Over was rated even better in his prep on the track in a Group level race (119 vs 106). Much easier to look good against weaker competition. He's making an enormous jump up in class in this race. With others who have banged heads and succeeded at a world class level getting prices that you won't come close to getting the rest of the year, I think they will be much the better overall value than Golden Sword. There's always a wise guy horse and this time it's him. These horses almost never win.

Since advance wagering is going on, shouldn't current pools and odds be shown ?

joanied · 03-25-2011, 12:16 PM

Thanks!!

Don't fixate on the American pool numbers. You want to look at good betting numbers, go to attheraces.com and see what action is being taken on the runners by the books. There will be a little bias toward Brit runners but no where near as big a skew as the American pools have to US runners.

olddaddy · 03-25-2011, 12:19 PM

The card is being shown on both Tvg and Hrtv.

Thank you...I finally did find it on the Tv scheduel for both TVG & HRTV...because of the time difference, I was in a panic that I'd screw it up...I think I'll opt for watching it on HRTV...better picture quality and I prefer it over TVG...now I'll set the Tv to record.

Thanks again.

I hope the races are more exciting than last year, with the synthetic in place...we all noticed that every race last year was a field of horses all bunched up until the stretch...made for boring races until the stretch run.

yet...I can't wait
