Jimbo-- as I recall, I said it was extremely likely that one of 4 horses would win last year, and two ran 1-2. I did think SJ was shaky off the 0-2 huge efforts.
As for Bellamy Road, if "Sheets" means Ragozin, he has his second back as a 4, not a zero-- we have it neg 1/4. I'm not ready to offer opinions on this horse or the race yet (especially until I find out more about the new testing and security program), but three things-- first, a backward move and 3 weeks rest after a series of efforts is not a forward move, 4 weeks rest, 2 starts for the year. Second, it's all percentages-- I was all over horses with very similar figures and patterns two years in a row-- the first was the Pletcher front runner who ended up being a grass horse (forget his name, I blocked it out because I think I've lost on him 10 times). The one the next year was War Emblem.
Third-- we make decisions by analyzing past events. And now we have the additional information of how SJ ran.
SC-- it's not the Heat game, it's the Net game. I took 8-1 on this series.
