Is there a particular way to access the files? I don’t believe I can get them without hitting the pay wall. Thanks!

Probably a good thing I’m not getting this calendar. I can only imagine what it must feel like to have to look at a picture of Tacitus for a month straight. ... triggered o’clock.

4 point top? I thought it was because Curlin’s were late developers?

A big one indeed. Faster than Arrogate, California Chrome, Gun Runner, and American Pharoah. Unbelievable.
What is the takeaway? Is it that Vino is the fastest 10F horse we’ve ever seen?

BELVOIR BAY Sold for $1.5MM yesterday. I’m not a bloodstock or breeding expert so I’m proposing this question to some who may have more insight.
Is that a good value for a potential broodmare prospect? G1 winner. G1 placed to potentially the fastest turf sprinter in the game at Meydan in Blue Point (before being retired).
Is it just me, or is turf sprinting severally underrated? These

I think the below, taken from Timeform US blog, is the best summation of the different running styles. Most horses, in my opinion, fall between the Speed/ Tracker/ Midpack categories. On dirt at least. Turf is a different story. Please forgive me for referencing a different product. and if it’s looked down upon, I’m happy to remove the post.

Forgive me, TGJB, for question this but the 0-2-X referenced on the seminar? Is that the true intent of said pattern? I had been under the impression that the pattern had to be run on the same surface at a similar distance. Is my original thought mistaken? I’m only asking to clear up my understanding and not to be pedantic.
Thanks.

Any estimate on this horse’s fig at Bel? I know it’s tough, but is it at all competitive ?
Edit. Keeneland Race 5.

I can’t compare AOB to Chad given that it’s overseas. But your point is well noted.
As far as the rabbit. That is a very good horse, who is unfortunate (maybe wrong word) to be in Chad’s barn. If that horse were in different hands, I wonder if it may have some nice wins under her belt, too bad she’s on Team Chad (and Brandt, for that matter) than her a different one.
Regardless, w

I love Sister and think she is indeed very special. But what do you make of having a rabbit in all her wins this year? Kind of puts a sour taste in my mouth.

Lol. Hope Bobby’s barn isn’t a customer ...
Baffert is a fraud and this is just another item that proves it. Hope he at least pays his staff (lookin’ at you Mr Brown!). Excuse me while I send my Bernese Mountain Dog to Runhappy. Medication Free! ... this fucking game.

I wasn’t aware of the article. It’s just what I had heard. Maybe “word on the street†was the wrong idiom to use...
Not trying to mislead anyone or spread false hoods here... It’s certainly hearsay. No argument there. Take it for what it is.

I think Chess Chief is being overlooked.
Dallas Stewart is extremely dangerous in these big races. The pattern is intriguing. He woke up when adding blinkers and has been inching forward every race and I don't think a 2 or 3 point jump is at all out of the question. I love horses with incremental, but not huge improvements and this horse is in peak form at the moment. At 30 or 50 to 1, h

Clifton Park... That is good to know! Thanks Frank!
I usually stay at whichever motel is within walking distance. Last year it was a bargain, this year I feel as though I’m paying “cheap†Nantucket prices.

$500 hotel rooms can’t be helping the attendance cause. Lodging this year is brutal. Normally I’d be up there 4-5 weekends. This year, 2 if I’m lucky. Would much prefer to send that money from the comfort of LRD...

Good lord. Just watched the replay. That horse is going to win the BC Juvi Turf. What a race that guy ran. My guess is a 5.
Edit: it is not a Juvi. I did not realize he was a 3YO. But damn... that was a good race.

Has anyone been using form ratings? I’m curious how they shape up. Haven’t tried myself but curious if any of the experts use them and to what extent.
As an aside, sheets have been on flipping point this meet. Hats off to the team.

Mihos is well worth playing here. Went on the bench after the GP race. Came back and ran a decent number. His sheet is not all that different than Global Campaign and is about 10x the price. I’ll be sending a 1,3 exacta.

As I’ve stated before, the issue is more about the fact that 80% of their customer base is teeing off from the 16th hole. The answer is to find more customers on the 7th or 8th hole, but powers that be in our sport can’t seem to wrap their head around this.

Not surprised. They didn’t do Belmont works last spring. Sold off all their book inventory at an 80% discount. That place is changing and it’s never been more apparent.

I don’t think you were insinuating it, but in the event i came off that way, i wasn’t redboarding. The only redboard I have to share is that I missed both. I wish I had those horses, they seemed so freaking obvious after the fact. Especially with that chad horse with the suspect soundness. Believe me, if I had hit either of those p5s, I wouldn’t come here to gloat about it, I think my track
