Well, I didn't say I bet much on the cold super....
But you may be correct, if somewhat pathetic, if I am the greatest handicapper you have ever met. You need to get out more!
Thought the 2-6-7 were the three key horses, but didn't think the 3 would fire. Seems like the Peter Pan indicates a liking for the track, if nothing else. Had a 3-2 exacta saver that I got nosed out of that would have been a break even return on investment. D'oh!
At the risk of sounding like the proverbial broken record, I don't think much of this year's 3YO crop - but maybe that's just the way racing is now. 30 years ago we had some horses that pointed for the spring classics, and were good enough to fire two or three times in a row. These days a horse has to tower over the competition and/or be running on something besides hay, oats and water to do well in the Triple Crown.
Mage or Forte or maybe even Arcangelo may turn out to be decent horses, but another year goes by where we have to "wait and see" past the Triple Crown. Guess we got spoiled with the likes of Alysheba, Bet Twice, Winning Colors, Risen Star, Easy Goer, Sunday Silence, etc. It's a different world.
