Lone Star Thursday

[jjgold]

race 6 win #9, #10
race 8 win #4, #5

 

[Cerveza]

Kinda bored - guess I'll play LS with ya, JJ - good luck.

Race 4
PRINCESS K is by King of Kings so the turf should suit her very nicely. This might just be a stamina building exercise for her but I see Richey is 18% after 31-90 days on the bench. Worth a shot at the price.
The bet: $10 WP 9 $2 exacta box 9/2,4,6

cerveza- some came running came right up along side the winner with 50 yards to go and looked like he'd go right on by- just hung a bit and got outnodded by pat day's mount.

i'm bored too- looking at corey lanerie's horse here in the fourth at lone star- excavadora

 

[Cerveza]

Thanx mazeltrick, Day just seems to know how to get to the wire first, doesn't he? What do you like about this 7? Is excavate a good turf sire? I see she liked the added distance - seemed to give a fair effort after the stumble before giving in.

 

[mazeltrick]

sorry cerveza, i stepped away from the computer- looks like we both ran out. who are you playing next?

 

[Cerveza]

Looking at the 5, ROBE BAYOU, this is probably the right level for him. Value is there.

 

[mazeltrick]

sounds good to me- looks like he fits at this level- i'm kind of afraid to bet into these pools- not a whole lot of certainty re: value w/ such small pools....

 

[Cerveza]

you're right...the odds just keep on dropping. Take a look at this first time starter in the 6th. Besides the 10 being a lone F, there doesn't appear to be much to beat. Do you know if this is decent breeding for a turf router?

 

[Cerveza]

We got the win....$10.40 $4.60 $3.40.

 

[mazeltrick]

nice call- 4/1 ain't bad at all. as for the firster in the 6th- great turf breeding on the top side in trempolino (won the arc de triomphe)- but judge smells is no great shakes on the bottom (i believe in the dam sire is every bit as important as the sire). it's actually a very odd breeding nick- you have a european turf sire on top and a dirt pedigree on the bottom. and with that paltry sales price, i wouldn't back him unless the field was totally empty.

 

[Cerveza]

I remember reading somewhere that the dam sire is a very important criteria when evaluating class and in a particular horses aptitude for distance. Am I right on this?
Anyway, going to leave Wadjolino alone and play QUEUE UP. exacta box 10/2,4,6

 

[mazeltrick]

dam sire is critical to class, distance, and turf ability. not that it matters b/c he has turf form, but your horse queue up, is by roar, is a very underrated turf sire. i'm passing this one. good luck.

 

[Cerveza]

The odds on the 10 keep going higher...think I'll play a little on his nose as well

 

[Cerveza]

you were smart to pass that race, mazeltrick, the post killed him....I'll definately put that horse in my stable watch, however.

 

[mazeltrick]

i'm taking off for the evening- may put some money on golaine in the 8th. are you around tomorrow?

 

[Cerveza]

7th Race
TIME AT THE LINE should be somewhere in the thick of it. The trainer seems to be repeating a turf route to dirt sprint move that was successful last time. The two outside horses look good but I'm not going to get beat by the post twice in a row. There seems to be enough early foot to give WILD TEXAS something to gun for. He's been facing much tougher and can close into these if the traffic doesn't get him.
The bet: $20 WPS #1

 

[Cerveza]

Leaving after the 7th myself....I'll be out of town all weekend. Good luck at Pimlico.

 

[Cerveza]

Got 2nd, missed the win by a length...nobody pressed the 13, damn.
