Digger
Anybody see Digger yesterday at Laurel? He reminds me a lot of Fabulous Strike. Once he gets the lead he's tough to run down. He could make a lot of noise in the sprint division this year.

He is in a nice form cycle right now but is hardly a monster IMO. If he was racing agaisnt the better horses who are in the better climates right now he would be getting smoked. Will not be a factor whatsoever later on in the year. We shall see.

Ya, as if you have a clue about who or who not will have an impact.
Digger is a monster.

He's okay when he's allowed to set a slow to moderate pace by himself. But, monster isn't really the word I would use to describe a horse that was 6th at 4/5 to the likes of Cavallo Pazzo and More Than A Reason three months ago.

Ok folks, he's not a monster.
2 pro handicappers have now said so. I must be wrong.
Just make sure you don't bet on him next time out  .

Digger is a very nice racehorse, but don't even mention him in the same sentence as Fabulous Strike.

Here is a point of comparison for all the " Digger is a Monster " folks...
Yesterday's 2nd race at Laurel...
Next Post 1:33 Off: 1:04 | 6 Furlongs | 4 Year Olds And Up | Claiming ($25,000 - $20,000) | Purse: $18,000
# Horse Jockey Weight Win Place Show
3 Citigambler Pimentel J 124 5.80 3.60 2.80
4 Hasufel Terrill A 113 3.80 3.00
6 Legit Passion Navarro J 119 6.40
Times in 5ths: :214 :45 :571 1:101
Times in 100ths: :21.94 :45.02 :57.23 1:10.31
Digger's now imfamous victory.....
Next Post 3:57 Off: 3:27 | 6 Furlongs | 4 Year Olds And Up | Stakes | Purse: $68,200
# Horse Jockey Weight Win Place Show
1 Digger Luzzi M J 120 5.60 3.80 6.20

To anyone rational he does no look like a monster, Andy. Keep letting fools overbet bad horses - we will profit in the longrun.

If you are talking about the 23 46 splits. You haven't shown us the variant for the day, and the normal running time for those fractions.

I think showing his splits versus those from a $25K claiming race made the point fairly clearly.....at least for some.
