Don't see it Shanahan. The horse has run his best races fresh. I hate chalk, but I can't see this horse losing. Badge of Silver is definitely slower than his reputation, his good race being in the negative 1 range. Perfect Drift hasn't run a race that would win this since the 2003 version of this exact race. What odds are acceptable on a horse that hasn't run well enough to win in 2 years? 4-1 is not even close enough.
Not a good betting race at all and very surprising to see it as the ROTW as there are a lot of interesting races this week. Look at the conclusion that JB or Allan came to, the top 4 weights are the best with Saint Liam looking the best. Saint Liam 6-5, unbettable. Badge of Silver maybe 9-5, an underlay. Perfect Drift 4-1, unbettable. Presidential Affair, maybe 5-1, and unlikely. Single SL in the NTRA pick 4 and look for value elsewhere.
Spa, don't mean to be sarcastic, but your post is an example of what has changed with this board in the past 6 months (for the worse). What logic or what in the world would lead you to conclude that Saint Liam over the 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices, would be an overlay in the Superfecta? Or are you just posting for the sake of posting?
