Robert, please tell me you had a few "pops" before you posted
1. It is not his responsibility to justify anything to you or anyone else - they are HIS opinions and many of us here both enjoy reading them and look forward to them

2. Roberts NEVER redboards. If you took the time to read some his posts you would know that before you make an ass of yourself by suggesting it.

3. Good thing we are not at the track, or YOU would probably get a few "pops." [/QUOTE]

----------------------------------------------------------------

I read his post twice and all I could clearly decipher was he liked Zing Zang to finish on the bottom of a tri or super which is cool, everyone has an opinion which is fantastic.

Wagering is about solid opinions and when players find themselves with differing opinions about the same horse maybe that's a race to watch imho. That's kind of what my original post was about.

His reply to me I didn't get through to be honest but I don't mean any ill will towards Robert at all and look forward to future post from him.

FYI you're my favorite poster Tom and first pops are on me.

First race I've capped in a very long time. Sadly I have nothing to write home about with regards to value.

It looks like a solid race to watch though. Pass for me. That said, I like the Pletcher horse... just not at 7/2.

Exotic gimmick for the Rebel.

I looked at this race, and I can't come up with much value in a conventional way.

Solomini figures to get hammered, and he's my top pick. Combatant is my next choice, but that's hardly a recipe for a score.

My biggest concern about Combatant is that he'll be forced to race wide, and either drop back again as he had to in the Southwest, or have to work hard out of the gate on the run to the first turn.

Maybe the outside posts will be at a disadvantage in this race? Maybe or can use their inside draw and their tactical speed to sit a dream trip?

Solomini to win. I'll roll the dice that an inside post bias will help the decently priced Title Ready or the Curlin's Honor to fill out the superfecta.

While I so respect Solomini a great deal I think this race sets up perfectly for Sporting Chance. I will put a bill to W/P on him.

Time for Title Ready to show the ability to move on along the triple crown trail.

Be interesting to see what kind of trip Combatant can work out from the outside post position. Winning doesn't appear to be his thing, picking up the pieces could be something to key around.

sounds like if the 1 wins most of the board would be pretty happy, we can have a group hug if he loses

It's 5 minutes to post. It maybe just me... everything's over bet... at these prices I'd rather bet the 2 horse then take odds on other horses that can't even beat the rake.

Nice win there for the Magnum Moon, pace seemed legit and he won the race when it counted, out of the turn. I thought given Solomini was probably a tad short in this race he ran pretty dang well.

The only thing against Title Ready in the Rebel is his running style, he'll likely be part of what should be a solid pace though I expect him run well.

If someone is looking to upset Solomini, Magnum Moon would appear as the most likely though there are a couple others in here who will will run new tops by lots imho
Magnum Moon wins convincingly @ 3-1

Nice race by the winner. Looks like we have another player in the 3yo division. Going to be a nice Arkansas Derby (is that next for Magnum Moon?)

Combatant ran well also. Horses like Combatant and High North seemed to opt to avoid attending the pace out of the gate for fear getting hung wide into the first turn.

Hard to believe Solomini ran 2nd from that poor visual performance. Baffert sure gets a lot out of his horses.

Sporting Chance ran OK. He was slightly wide.

My rankings were very close to yours: 3-10-4-1. Went with the 10 in a WP tourney.

Only thing I won on that race was a "coffee bet" with my buddy...I bet him my 10 would beat his 1. And I even had to sweat that for a while!

Equibase score for the winner is a 109. This compares to 107 for American Pharoah and highest since Will Take Charge snared a 111. The difference between this run and AP is AP got faster as the race went on while Moon got a little slower each split. Justify’s race was similar in getting slower each split. To me suggests neither a lock in the Ark.
