Just using the pedigree I would give look strongly at the 11, 10 and 5 horse, but 2 furlongs is 2 furlongs so can't rely on the GSV
Thanks for your picks Bill. Will go see if I can lay a bet. LoL

Hi George

I picked the filly, #11 County Madam, primarily because of her conduit profile (high Brilliant and Intermediate contributions), and the other speed contributiors that are found in the 2nd and 3rd generations. She is a January foal, and many times fillies mature faster than males. The final plus was top quarterhorse jockey Ramon Sanchez coming over from Los Alamitos to ride her. Hope I get a decent price.

I wasn't even close. They came in 6-3-4-8. The filly broke a little slow and finished 5th.

You two should be shot for handicapping such a race, let alone watching such a debacle...When will the morons learn that TBs shouldn't be trained like QHs, let alone be allowed to race like them!
