That's it,  read'em and weep

Ok, jr, I am posting a sleeper pick here.  In the Belmont fifth, I love that you are tossing the favorite, #4 Mentality.  In these races with two years old, you never know what you will get eith these, but this,horse won't be worth the short price.  I like those horses you have listed above,particularly #7 Blue Atlas, but I am asking you and others reading this to consider #2 Trouble for Skylar..  He is 10-1 ML in a small field.  Has been freshened since weakening badly at Saratoga in August (after breaking maiden impressively in July), this horse can improve dramatically on the grass today.  Good luck!

Hey Zuck, I totally get where your coming from with the #2.  $225K purchase, 7 turf winners and 1 stakes winner in breeding and a helluva maiden breaker too.

I just prefer to bet on a surface winner already and at double the odds too!  The 2 certainly has the breeding IMO.  Hell, these 2 yr olds are always a crapshoot as you said.

I can't get off my 3 at 20/1 with a 47 and change work coming into this one! 

Zuck,

Best of luck to you 

No problem, jr, I know we have chatted before about this, it's too easy to pick the chalk and claim to be a genius when it wins, I like your pick too, let's see what happens!

Yes Zuck, the chalk doesn't win me any tourney money so I usually place it 3rd or nowhere in my picks. 

Kinda rooting for your 2 now?

Well Zuck it seems our steeds will finish late on Thursday!

Yes, but at least even money favorite was out of the money, rather go for the gusto, than go down with the chalk......

me too, bro!
