And there could be one out there that hasn't run yet and comes out to dominate. So, you never know this early. Some don't run until Aug./Sept. and then Oct. and then their 3rd race being the BC Juvy in Nov. I just hope we get some good ones this year!!<br />And the BC Win and You're In is pretty weird. The Stephen Foster this weekend should be a Win And You're In! That looks like a pretty good sprint list, though. Trappe Shot looked very tough last weekend! I liked him!<br />It looks like the Euros will be tough this year with horses like superstar, Goldikova, Frankel and others. You know they both run today at Royal Ascot.Brentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123812571831095619.post-10076586784770307802011-06-13T10:52:48.965-07:002011-06-13T10:52:48.965-07:00Oops!

We desperately need another Afleet Alex or Smarty Jones that's not only fast and can win the shorter races, but one that can win at 10 and 12f. <br />In July, we got the Bashford Manor, the Hollywood Juvy Championship and the Sanford for 2-yos.

Maybe at best, I would've had them in the 3rd and 4th slots. Plus, it's hard to like a horse like ROI, when the horse that beat him in his last, CI in the Tesio, ran poorly in the Preakness against this group. So, I don't feel that bad about our handicapping of the race. I was right about Shack though! That mud just screwed up everything! Oh well, on to the next which will be the summer classics and preps leading up to the BC!!!Brent Austin Neikirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444727189908906417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123812571831095619.post-64024754604254566232011-06-11T19:21:20.699-07:002011-06-11T19:21:20.699-07:00So what's next Brent, now that the TC has conc...So what's next Brent, now that the TC has concluded?

So in my opinion, the horses with the strongest late kicks and the pedigree/stamina to last the 12f will be there at the end. This is why I think AK wins it! And MMM looked good coming home in the Derby, Nehro will be tough and MOH, Santiva and BS will be good to use for value. That's how I see it.Brentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123812571831095619.post-29404318703904391872011-06-11T08:06:43.778-07:002011-06-11T08:06:43.778-07:00Cool, hope it helps!
