Bump because it's a week away!!!!

Rags getting a lot of buzz for his work this morning.

Drf and bloodhorse say that bode moves like shite when galloping but looks fine when breezing.

Good choice. I just got finished reading Julien Leparoux's blog. I can see him pulling it off.

I am just trying to narrow down to 5 for an exacta box

Fupeg, I happened to catch his maiden win and I've been on the rags train ever since. I try to keep a good watch on matz horses, not because of barbaro, but because he was such an amazing show jumper. LOVE him.

I just worry about frenchy. He can either be a brilliant jockey or put in a completely disastrous ride. One of the worst was on informed decision at keeneland a year and a half ago. I swear he didn't even start riding til halfway down the stretch

She's on Larry's horse Mark Valeski

frick you for reminding me of this shite. Also, he had one opening weekend that was worse. Frenchie had the horse in trouble all the way around and when he got clear, his ride flew to the front only to come up a jump short.

He does. I loved his momma.

This year it's hard to narrow down. I hope I can pick 4 or 5 that I like.
