Sportswriter didn't win his elimination for the NA Cup, and won the final. If he is a great horse we will see it tonight. Also, I am not yet convinced Rock N Roll Heaven is a great horse.<br /><br />The other reason I like Sportswriter is with these small purse eliminations, horses are more concerned with qualifying than winning. Yes, I know Sportswriter had physical problems last week and was lucky to qualify, but if last week was the final, I think he could have done better (not won) than he did. <br /><br />That being said, if Sportswriter is less than 5-1, I won't touch him and I would go with Rockin Image.That Blog Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15487597769210721585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684463172854959042.post-24143038284107857532010-07-17T07:33:17.607-04:002010-07-17T07:33:17.607-04:00I guess I should give some picks since I knocked y...I guess I should give some picks since I knocked yours!<br /><br />If the price on Kyle Major or I'm Gorgeous is at or above the morning line I will incorporate them with Rockin Image, RNR Heaven and perhaps lightly with One More Laugh and Fred and Ginger if the price goes above 15-1 or so. <br /><br />I think Rock N Roll Heaven is the most likely winner, but certainly isn't a lock. <br /><br />Valentino scares me.Phil J.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4684463172854959042.post-51898546268018802952010-07-17T07:28:34.762-04:002010-07-17T07:28:34.762-04:00I'll give ya 25-1 on Sportswriter! :)
I just ...I'll give ya 25-1 on Sportswriter! :)<br /><br />I just don't think he is good enough to overcome post 10 and the talent inside of him. If he leaves and makes the front, he isn't going to stay there for long. If he leaves and gets a seat, either a- he is going to have to pull again to follow cover or b- pull first over. Not to mention Palone and/or Tetrick may leave leaving him who knows how wide if Yannick, Campbell and Jody step on the accelerators.<br /><br />So I'll give ya 25-1!<br /><br />I'm headed to the Big M tonight, so if he does win or run well, I'll find a nice pile of horse manure to eat instead of crow.<br /><br />And if Valentino or Nova Artist win, I'll be holding up the "Arrest Lou Pena!" sign.Phil J.noreply@blogger.com
