    Have not even looked at the card

    I play lots of chalk in Australia as they hold up pretty good at the bigger meets

    this dude knows a lot more about ponies than he leads on.....thats all part of the "smart horse capper" mentality. its not like sports where odds are fixed and you can lock in.
    if jj likes a horse at 20/1 thursday and comes on sbr a major horse racing site wednesday and mentions it theres a good chance that horse wont be anywhere near 20/1 when they load into the gate. or line up behind it...jj knows harness (in as far away lands as Ohio!) too
    when you got a bomb-ive found its better to keep quiet rather than post it and get a few "hey, nice cappin'" comments and a reduced return.

    Yeah kind of looks like the 2 favorites(Silent Achiever/Laser Hawk) tower over the field but Silent Achiever is the only one who has raced at the distance which he also won by open lengths.Who knows how the horses are going to deal with that last 1/4 mile the way we see here when derby horses get to the Belmont.

    I guess I'd key those 2 with the horses with the ones who look like they wanted more than the 1 1/4 (Rekindled Alliance/Ethiopia).

    Laser Hawk
    Silent Achiever
    Rekindled Alliance
    Ethiopia

    joey, I like the selection. The only horse I'd throw in there is strike the stars.

    This is essentially the same race as the guineas a few weeks ago.

    I have silent achiever pipping ocean park in this one.

    Edit: Ocean Park now scratched. I'll be on Silent Achiever small. Mad to go big on this race; fairly open.
