Would be a funnier "practical joke" if Mr Bob
had been entered in the Robert B Lewis @ SA.

I don't play GS but I'll put in my 2 cents.



There are no Holy Bulls in this race, with his ability to motor along fast at low RPMs, you look at how he was built, big body benz not a particularly long body, but with that long shoulder that gave him his stride.  Come to think of it, Hansen who everybody and their brother thought would win this race and went off at utter chalk, back in 2009 looked very much like Holy Bull. But Algorithms got to the finish line first so Hansen had to settle for 2nd. Algorithms had already shown an ability to rate outside of horses.



Just glancing at the field, and since I love Confidence Game, I'll root for Rocket Can with Mott, I like horses who have run at 7F for this race and he ran against some pretty good company so far.



Longshot:



Mr. Bob - looks like an Audible type to my eye so I'll give him a shot here.



For under:



Shadow Dragon - another Mott and gets the right rider for this race



Cyclone Mischief - looks speedy enough but his last race high figure was on lasix, and he won't be getting Lasix for this race.



Il Miracolo - like his pedigree and his md sp wts at GS were not too shabby




Will have to see what Legacy does. I can't trust a horse who drifted in the stretch like he did at only 1 mile. I didn't see that race but maybe he was getting wobbly legged in the stretch.

Got the exacata here.  Also had win wager separately on my top pick rocket can. 

I can't believe so many fell for the romans horse who got that high figure in last only because he was getting lasix that time and not here.    I actually ended up leaving him off my ticket completely.   I didn't like his body language before the post .... he was looking unsure of himself or rather kinda *cautious* looking around. 

$1.00 Exacta 8/3 $74.70

Docd. thanks that is the chart but I wanted to see the original PPs before the race.  

I am pretty sure Cyclone Mischiief has been lasixed in his career and the chart only shows the meds for that race.  Which, since a stakes race, none of the horses were lasixed. 

I swear it's like nobody in my list of contacts has the original PPs......I save all of them and use them again in certain circumstances........the PPs for the Holy Bull seem to be an elusive end-of-the-rainbow item for me today.

Never mind, I found it! It was on my external hard drive that I sometimes use to save stuff on and didn't think to look there.

So I was right, from memory, that Cyclone Mischief had been lasixed in his career.

Interstingly, this was an unusual race, because EVERY HORSE in the race had never been lasixed, for entire career, except Cyclone Mishief. He received Lasix right before this race, in an allowance.

He ran 7th in the Holy Bull.
