Michael,
Good point, although I am guessing that AGS's race yesterday is probably a 2 point top or so. Sightseeing and Nobiz Like Shobiz have pretty consistent figures and unless Jerry gives them both big bounces, AGS is in the negative 2 range or so, which makes him competitive with STreet Sense and Curlin. We'll see in the Jim Dandy. I read that Tiz Wonderful is pointing for the Jim Dandy as well. He will have been off a long time, but this was a very talented looking horse as well.
Chuckles,
Great call by Michael on High Finance and poor call by me. However, your sarcastic post is unnecessary. If one believed Commentator was unbeatable yesterday, which I did, the race was unbettable. With YOUR HINDSIGHT today, of course I am wrong. It would be nice to see you make a call BEFORE a race, like Michael did with High Finance and others on this board do regularly, instead of the usual sarcasm after the races and denigrating comments about the horses that ran. I am going to vomit if I read one more time that Rags to Riches AMBUSHED the colts in the Belmont and didn't win "on the square". She did what 4 of the last 5 belmont winners have done, had 5 weeks spacing into the Belmont. It is an edge, but doesn't take away from her performance. She has a good shot to be "great", if she isn't prematurely retired and she doesn't need to beat the boys again to be great, although we all would like to see her try it! I suspect that by the end of the year, this 3 year old crop is going to look pretty strong. We already know about Curlin and Street Senses. Any Given Saturday looks to have potential, Tiz Wonderful might be good when he gets back, and there are some others as well. With the lousy older horses we have, we might see a replay of the Breeders Cup Classic back when Tiznow won it the 1st time, as I believe the 3 year olds finished in the top 4 spots or so. (and FuPeg the favored 3 year old wasn't even in one those spots)
