Thoroughbred Racing

If Tapwrit stays 6-1 I'd like to say he wins. I like Multiplier also, gotten better in every race. Epicharis (the outside 3 PP's have been the place to be in this race for the past decade) and Gormely will probably be my tri box.

Sharp Azteca has been my boy for a long time. May have moved a little bit too early in Dubai (watched that replay the other day)  Will probably be a single for me in a horizontal.

[Adam]

Epicharis has a major foot issue and might scratch. I think he and Tapwrit both get bet hard. Lot of good handicappers like Tapwrit. I can see him plodding around the track against a shitty field and winning. 

If I could only bet on 10 of the 14 races the belmont would not be one of them. 

[Adam]

Agreed on Sharp Azteca. He looks tough. It is hard to find someone who's going to pressure him. 

He's going to be 9-5 though and he threw in a clunker at Belmont last year. I really like Tom's Ready to run big. My play for the met looks like this at the moment:

Ex Box - 5,8

Trifecta - 5 / 7,8,12 / 7,8,9,12 

[Adam]

Only two races for me tomorrow 

Met - 5,8 / 5,8,12 Exacta 

5 / 8,9,12 / 7,8,9,12 / 1,2,7,8,9,12 Super

Belmont - 2,8 / 2,8,10

8 / 2,7,10 / 2,4,7,10 / 2,4,7,9,10 Super

[Tank]

I'd Drop $10 k on Irish War Cry.

[Homebrewer]

Big bet of the day...(NO IRISH WAR CRY)

Starting race 8..If I'm alive after the Met H I'll play a couple of exactas or tris.

First winner of the entire TC series, and if Gormely could have held on I'd have it twice..

but it's nice to profit for a change.

This Triple Crown stretch has been brutal for me too. I think things will get back to some semblance of form over the summer.

I hate Del Mar.  Weird shit happens there, then they charge you $20 to drown your sorrows.
