The Met Mile ?

Postby Bedouwia » Sat May 23, 2009 5:24 am

OK you handicappers help me out again, please. I came out a bit ahead in the Preakness and want to try to bet again in the Met Mile today.

The favorites seem to be: Smooth Air and Mr. Fantasy? I kind of think that Mr. Sidney or Accredit could be real contenders. Who would you play in an exacta?

i'm not playing mr sydney his very first start was on dirt and he came in a distant 3rd. put him on t urf and the light went off.

there putting him here is nothing other than trying to get a stallion race under him to stand him at stud next year. he's not a dirt horse.

i'm not wowed by anything in this race. i'm going to take a shot and say imperial council backing up to a mile can take it. he has the class, he just flattens out when they hit the stretch. I think he can get there in a mile and he's not going against two step or ventura or antyhing like that either.

thanks -- I guess Mr. Fantasy has scratched, and I will drop Mr. Sydney.

I will definitely reconsider Imperial Council.
