you know i'm starting to think pluck just for some reason had his mojo working last year in the breeders cup juve turf. he hasn't come close to replicating that. that race he ran that day would have de him a serious threat against euro's in their big races. he hasn't come close to that

I don't play churchill so I'm just now looiking at the entry list.. and something just popped off the page to me


Silver Medallion
ML: 5-2 J. Velazquez
118 Lbs T. Pletcher


lol, when did this happen? I could have sworn he was trained by Steve Assumssen when he ran in the Santa Anita derby.


man why do all these horses /owners just gravitate to this man? It's really baffling


from what I see I think that's a pretty good wager you got there. I wouldn't bet pluck, too spratic for my tastes, and silver medallion is a by product of beating up crappy fields in California, and wilkerson could be 20 to 1 and i still would not touch him.

twin spirred, meh.

It's really kinda sad, because a horse like Mr. Commons, this is where he is supposed to be. he would tower over this field and would win. but everyone gets BC fever. this race is really watered down
