if i get 5/1 on NT, i'm unloading for the W, case closed.
if he drifts under, i'll shift to Hit Show for the W instead
exotics -
4,7/2,6,8/2,6,8,9
STILL WAITING ON TAPIT TRICE TO FIRE THE MONSTER
so, i'll say it one mo' time - if he is fully cranked, this will be a coronation.
IF, IF, IF ... maybe he does it today - gl

Keying AoE
$100 win
$25 box with National Treasure
$20 exactas to Tapit Trice, Arcangelo and Forte (don't love 'em but saver) with $10 reverse
National Treasure will look tough turning for home. Just watched his last work and it was monstrous. If he shakes loose will be dangerous. Hoping AoE isn't too far back with blinkers. I think he's the best horse, ran great in the Derby, gets 5 weeks rest and been training great. All systems should be go

Threw $10 exactas AoE to Hit Show and Red Route One. Payoffs were too good to pass up and they could finish. Good luck all!

Happy for the connections. AoE had no excuses - couldn't get the distance. Thanks for the thread OTB. Until next year

Winner had dosage of 8.6. So don't know how much that factors anymore - though AoE did come up short

very appreciated, QG ... and all you regulars in here bring a ton, too
pretty effed to go out leaving the winner uncovered, but only been 2 Peter Pan winners in the past 25 yrs - i'll stand on that hill, though i backed last year's (for full disclosure).
@Cowboysfan8 asked about Antonucci earlier this week, and i commented "nothing special of note" ... well, that just changed big time - pleased to see new blood crash the party! she rocks the f*** outta the boyz club - she EARNED this.
the Javi win on the 17/1 yesterday was all dumped on Arabian Lion today, so i had a grand weekend - love this game, for bett0r or worse, it never fails to deliver for me.

Just saw the replay and... woof.
100 yards from the finish and Archangelo looked like Frodo escaping the Black Riders at the Fords of Bruinen -- five chasers lined up shoulder to shoulder.

few thoughts here in the (sober-ish) aftermath ...
- NT had it all his way, as expected ... kept waiting for somebody to press him harder, but he were given the lead and ran as far as he could with it - they were a bit faster than the Preak, but nothing crazy - he just couldn't last the trip, and Johnny V were outplayed by Javi.
- TT also had no excuses ... Luis got him out in the clear, there were no impediment to him uncorking that (supposed) championship kick home. yeah, he bottomed the tri, but if he were truly special he would've delivered here in the winner's circle. he were where he needed to be - but, no dice. disappointing series for this one.
- the Cox trio formed that first wall behind NT approaching the final turn ... TS pestered NT enough, but never got ahead nor did he do anything more than serve as caddy - dead heat for super bottom (HS/AoE), but the Pletchers inhaled 'em whole.
- Forte ran a very big race. went from thinking that if they scratched him he'd be sent to the shed, to being very impressed by his late charge ... he still may prove to be the class of this lot ... remember this were his first out in roughly 10 weeks, and it showed early on ... definitely looked a bit bothered for the opening half, at least - first off the bench from training interruptions and being on ice. he worked extremely well leading up, and availed himself well enough with that late burst. heart of a champ.
- Prat were the one who requested the blinks on AoE for raceday (he were training in them prior to Derby) - his lowest Stakes finish resulted. dunno on that call.
- Arcangelo really wanted to get out there early ... Javi calmed him down, settled the trip, then patiently waited - Johnny V ceded a sliver on the rail, and were looking outside over the wrong shoulder, and that's where Javi ate his COTdamn breakfast/lunch/dinner - came to NT's inside, very close quarters - but not out his damn mind like Irad ... no, much more savvy - he schooled 'em.
NT were gonna get swallowed at that point, but had Javi not calculated the perfect move, it likely woulda been the Pletcher's in a ding-dong Durkin classic call - Javi had to hatch it, but Arc had to execute it, and that he did, with the kick of a real special horse. all the credit in the world to those connections ... Javi really turned the clock back this TC campaign, and Antonucci just got handed a blank check - great job by all.
- three different winners of the TC contests - this crop is deep, if not unspectacular - Mage & Two Phil's will be back soon, with the latter eying one of the bullring Derbys to get himself on track for the summer Stakes sched .... we got the Haskell, Jim Dandy, PC Classic, Travers - then the fall brings the Breeder's Cup.
second half of the year are really wide open - cannot call any of these the cream just yet ... ergo, there are gonna be some great betting races with this lot, as nobody has seperated themselves enough to be considered above the field as a slam dunk fave.
- hit the Derby tri keying TP's, jumped on NT (assist from B7s) to cash the Preak ... but whiffed a big one yesterday - had some great undercard scores thru the campaign, and 2 outta 3 on the TC ain't bad - eh, Mr. Loaf?

Antonucci already shipping Arcy up to the Spa - expect the Jim Dandy next on 7/29 - Disarm & Forte already nominated for that one, as well.
the Haskell are the week prior (7/22), with Two Phil's and Geaux Rocket early entries - Monmouth always has that surface souped up to Tampa Derby level ... gonna be a scorcher.
they also get a week jump on rest for the Travers, which goes on 8/26 - we'll see the whole gang for that one, hopefully.
speaking of my boy 2P's, he's tossing great works out there, and will likely be going in the Ohio Derby at Thistledown on 6/24.
only word on Mage thus far are nomination for the Travers - no talk of anything definite prior to, though i think they'd lean to the Haskell.

... oh, yeah - speaking of ol' buddy Disarm, he were out yesterday in the Ellis slop, along with some other "b" teamers (King Russ, Raise Cain, Verifying, Dennington), in the exiled Matt Winn.
can't find a full replay, but teh Twitterz obliged with the only part that matters, as the two prohibs battle down the stretch.
yes, that are Joel on Disarm - how YOU doin'?

returns Saturday in The Pegasus at (sometimes quite scenic) Monmouth Park - this is widely considered the Haskell tune-up for those late bloomers & locals ... a Bukowski's Peter Pan, if you will.
they'll be a few other Stakes run there, as well - Oceanport will be the hot spot down the Jersey shore.
btw - Kingy 8/5 ml for this one, can't see him at anything better than 4/5 come post time ... he should easily be King for a day - he towers over this lot.

i just came in here late to say the fox belmont coverage was hideous. i couldn’t hear the race call. they never talked about forte after the race and took 71 commercials before they posted payouts, failing to mention that the exotics seemed to be $1 bets. it was up and down so fast, i had no idea.
