World Approval could not have gotten a better draw right outside two horses that will be sent. Should sit the perfect trip if good enough. Ribchester sheet#s are not unbeatable

I am ready to listen, read and watch to ferret out these false betting favorites.

Right now I am getting a bit of impression that FREE DROP WILLY is being touted, but, it's early.

What horses do you think are being advanced as false favorites?
Really? you've got much more invested in message board discussion than actual betting. Get a grip.

Here's Mike's Saturday late pick 4. Kudos to him for at least putting it out there:

1, 4, 5*, 6*, 8, 10*, 12* with 11 with 3*, 4*, 5*, 6, 10, 12*, 13 with 1**, 2, 5*

He loves Arrogate. I think he might be great value since he's sputtered recently and there at Del Mar, but his endorsement gives me pause

I think Steller Wind ranks up there as a very vulnerable favorite in the Distaff, fwiw.

Masar at 9/2, depending on what Happily and September do in the Juvenile Fillies Turf.

I agree with this and likely will try to take advantage of it on my P4; 'capping the Friday card tonight.

SW is such a nice horse but I agree. At a mile and an eighth I think she is so vulnerable. Elate is the wise guy play but I will make a stand with Forever Unbridled.

Sounds like me you and a LOT of others

This race will depend on price. That's the only thing I don't like about P4-5-6 wagers ...

Friday Race #10: SKMaddy GR-3 5 F on the Turf.

M-L favorite Firsthand Report is one of the worst favorites on the card. The highest speed figure this girl has run is at 1 1/16. This race has a ton of speed in it and the last time she saw a pace like this at this distance she gave up. there are 4 horses in here that I like.

So Sweetitiz 6-1 Has shown the ability to handle the pace and still finish well. But the layoff is really bothersome.

Instant Reflex 15-1 1st race of her life showed the ability to handle the pace. Stretched out in last and might have proved she is a sprinter at this moment, but has potential.

Long Hot Summer 9-2 One of only 2 runners in this race that has shown ability to run off the pace. Has the speed figures to win and gets the edge to be on top.

Street Surrender 8-1 The "other" off the pace runner in here, but has really shown to be a distance horse and not a sprinter. The fact that she just might come running at the end makes her a contender here.

Ribchester wins if he runs his race, he is so much superior to this field.

I believe Vigor 5-1 will run huge tomorrow.

Drefong is the phony favorite, IMO. Only two starts this year, and tossed his rider in one of them. Caught a field with a lack of early speed and rode a good rail in the Forego. There is no logical reason to bet this horse.

Agree - Drefong.
If he was anything, why only two starts in a year?
