I don't know Jennifer's work, but I'm guessing she might be either a college intern or on her 1st racing assignment, the only reasons I could think of for asking Battaglia's opinion on betting lines. You no doubt noticed his televised "best bet of the day" while you were here. It's usually even money, but today he went out on a limb because he didn't want to take Pletcher's 1-5 lock in the nightcap, & tabbed 6/5 shot Gimme an A off an almost yr layoff because he liked the works. The most recent one was blistering, but took place only 5 days ago & was a gate work, not necessarily positives for a 6 yr old, especially one which had never been able to make the 7f distance of the race. Mike's a nice guy, but I'm not sure he's the right guy to be making Derby lines, calling the races at CD, or handling BC or other post race presentations. The other thing in the article that was interesting to me was Pletcher's comment that GP form has been holding up best at Kee. Maybe in the big races, but on a day to day basis, it's FG in 1st by a large margin, & then GP & OP. TP horses have done horribly, as usual. As others have pointed out, it's a peculiar track, & you have to play the angles, but until this yr it was always a track which offered great betting opportunities against weak & overbet favs. The fields this yr have been the smallest I have ever seen, & too many of the races have been uncompetitive. Both problems will disappear when the action moves to CD on Sat.
