Nyquist is the first to chicken out..."puffy ankle"

Nyquist was going to finish last but he was going to cut a .45 1/2 mile. Now chrome and arrogate can just draft off melatonin and have a match race in the stretch.

you liar!

you told me he was going to cut a .46 1/2 mile

 

[Tank]

Shhh! I may have fudged a wee bit. 

 

Lets see where he's at when he hits the seventh furlong pole.

[Lou]

he's usually finishing his beer on the way to take a dump

Melatonin is probably going to be my longshot pick for the big race.  This year has been a breakout year for him, and he seems to like the SA dirt.  Arrogate seems to be the one that will most likely set the pace.

If Melatonin is that one brown horse in all the highlights on sportscenter, then I completely agree with you.

Maybe but that it isn't how baffert has been training him. He's been training him to rate. Maybe with Nyquist out plans will change. But he isn't going to get an easy lead like he did in the travers. Melatonin off the long layoff is going to be hard to reign in. I don't think it matters. I can't see Chrome losing to another speed. If he loses it will probably be a complete pace meltdown and a closer will win. Shaman Ghost? I want to get him into the exotics!

Great minds...

Brutal draw for turf sprint. Pure Sensation 1, Obviously 2, Mongolian Saturday 3.

exotics will pay box cars

That's a tough draw for Klimt in the Juvenile too.  I like where 3 rules is though. 

[gotbeer]

Ouch.  Songbird got the #1 post. 

[Adam]

Lone speed though she should be fine. Beholder doesn't want the lead

[Adam]

I think Chrome had a bad draw. Don't think it will matter but he'd prolly prefer to be outside of Melatonin and Arrogate

In one of the most wide-open races of the two days, Watchmaker made A Lot the lukewarm 5-1 favorite in the $1 million Turf Sprint at about 6 1/2 furlongs on grass. Mongolian Saturday, the defending race winner, is 15-1.

Money race.

[gotbeer]

Santa Anita officials target 100,000 in attendance

I think that's more wishful thinking.  Even with Z, I think that day was only 40k-ish.

Three Rules at 8-1.  I really like that horse, and may put $20 to win on him.  @Adamknows, that's like putting a $100k on it for me.

[gotbeer]

Juvenille Turf.  #5 made you look is a horse I have been following.  Actually have 175-1 on him for the derby.  So I think I'll take 12-1 for the Breeders.

[gotbeer]

Turf Sprint.  15 Lady Shipman 12-1.  He didn't do well last out.  But he did come out early to get the experience on the downhill.  Don't think that I can cross him off.

If ever there were a race to play a 6 horse exacta box you might get paid here

I'm going use him. I'll probably use Not This Time as an A and ALL as Bs

She. Hahahaha 

 

she will have to draw in... weird that the runner up and 3rd place finisher last year didn't make the field
