Gimme about 6-1 and it's on

I think you will get at least 8-1 my friend. Definitely worth playing

Agreed, or even a little more which I doubt will happen. This horse has been beating the "B" league this year. The 3yo's were really inconsistent and some of these are proven, big time winners. Not saying it can't be done, but you gotta get paid to take the shot. He's good, but is he good enough? How can you really know by what he's been beating on?

I'm looking at Collected. He has never lost on a fast track.He and Arrogate have the fastest 1 1/4 time. 6-1 on the line. May be overlooked in the betting. However if Arrogate is back in form they are all running for second.

Win the Space ran 1 1/2 lengths back of a 1:59 3/5 in the Gold Cup which , based on time only is faster than Collected.

I'm not being confrontational. I always like to discuss bets before I make them. It's hard to find bettors with valid opinions before you make your bets. For many years I had my grandfather and great uncle, but they've passed away. Give me your opinion. I just think West Coast is a bit player here. Baffert is better off advancing Collected or Arrogate in the Classic. He has an ideal post to expoit the rest of his stable no matter the race shape.

Most likely West Coast but will consider Pavel or Collected if the odds are right.

So. Much. Speed.

Really like West Coast, but think he just might not be ready.

Collected is the horse to beat IMO, and Arrogate is scary good if ready. Can't see Gun Runner getting the distance with the speed in this race.

On TVG yesterday they were saying that West Coast resembles Will Take Charge, who won the Travers & PA Derby with similar beyers. Then came within a nose of beating Mucho Macho Man in the Classic.
I don't usually like betting 3-yr-olds in the BC, but it seems like they have been doing much better in recent years.

West Coast ran a great race, just like I imagined he would ( be the best finishing 3yo )

Keep in mind this horse will race at 4 and is on the way to the Pegasus World Cup. Hopefully a huge year for a very nice horse and an owner that is a class act
