Race time is getting close, lets not go over the B.C. Classic meltdown again. Its just not worth the time right now.
Regarding Forest Danger's figs, theres no doubt he caught consecutive mother of all greased lightning strips in his last two. That 1.14.44 was monumentally fast. (A track Record) This was something I was not aware of earlier and its incumbant to acknowledge oversight in deliberating Tgraph's "rescoring" upon that race. After reviewing the card more carefully you have to be inclined to believe Forest Danger ran very fast.
Which is not to concede April 9th at Aqueduct is as fast as everyone seems to think. If it is and Forest Danger is sitting on paired negative fours your point is noted. What if he's sitting on paired negative 2's however or even a negative 4, negative 2....does that put him in an 0-2 race position? (Caveat note Pletchers race spacing this year after a long layoff)
Just finished TGraphs ROTW and agree that a horse which bears consideration is Silver Wagon. TGraph gave him an X rail you have to be inclined to believe it certainly was that day. This is a good horse that has had some misfortune. Hes got the potential (you always need luck) to pull it off or perhaps make it pay. Pomeroy looks to be sitting on his best race too.
If Ghostzapper doesnt win this race against marginal competition by 6 lengths he's not great. If he gets beat, hes a sham.
