First off, Twirling Candy to win the Classic @ 75/1. This horse has a ton of ability, i mean a ton, and the way things have shaken out recently, it looks like the Classic is his most likely target. He won the Oceanside Stakes at a mile on grass in his two-turn (and stakes) debut, and just took the 1 1/8-mile Del Mar Derby on grass over the weekend. That being said, there's very little chance he'll be pointed to the Breeders Cup Mile, because his stablemate Sidney's Candy is being pointed there after his tour de force in the La Jolla Handicap (his grass debut), and trainer John Sadler won't be looking to enter both of his star colts in the same race.

That being the case, it was announced before the Del Mar Derby that Twirling Candy would be pointed to the Goodwood Stakes @ Oak Tree, which has traditionally been the top West Coast prep for the Classic. The surface switch isn't an issue, as Twirling Candy looked equally sensational winning an allowance race on the main track earlier this year, and the way he's been running, it's hard to expect anything other than a strong performance in that race. That in all likelyhood would land him in the Classic, where of course he'll still have to beat the mighty Zenyatta. No easy task, to put it mildly, but i can honestly say that of all the horses i've seen this year, Twirling Candy would probably pose the biggest threat to her. He would be running on dirt for the first time (the race is @ Churchill Downs this year), but that probably isn't a huge deal. All in all, a pretty large overlay at the current listed price.

The other one i wanted to mention is Sidney's Candy, who is listed for the Mile (not the Dirt Mile) @ 11/1. He looked fantastic early this year beginning with the San Vicente, and in fact he was my pick to win the Kentucky Derby (where he failed miserably). Given a break after that debacle, he returned after a layoff to run in the 1 1/8-mile Swaps Stakes, where i thought he ran a very solid race despite getting beat a nose as the 1/5 favorite. He set a contested pace along the inside, then opened up on the eventual winner coming off the turn, but i think the distance was probably a bit much for him coming off the long break, and he just got tired late. I expected an improved effort in his next race with the added conditioning under his belt, but in no way did i expect the absolutely monstrous performance that he turned in. It seems that he just adores the grass, and shortening up a bit in distance probably didn't hurt either. Looks like a gigantic threat to win the Mile (which is slightly shorter than the La Jolla, another positive) as long as he gets through the Oak Tree Mile in one piece. Price not huge with two months to go and a race in-between, but there's every chance he could end up being reasonably short price in the Mile, the European invaders notwithstanding. Hard to say without seeing the results of his next race, but somewhere in the neighborhood of 5/2 isn't out of the question by any means. That would make 11/1 look awfully good on raceday. Hard not to like at the current price. ]]> Horse Racing Forum DiscreetCat http://www.horseracingtalk.com/horse-racing-forum/breeders-cup-futures-11210.html http://www.horseracingtalk.com/horse-racing-forum/coming-off-my-horses-watch-list-11209.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 04:15:55 GMT 9/9.....fairplex.....race 10.....winter Camp.....should Be Tough!!!!! 9/9.....fairplex.....race 10.....winter Camp.....should Be Tough!!!!! ]]> Horse Racing Forum turfman http://www.horseracingtalk.com/horse-racing-forum/coming-off-my-horses-watch-list-11209.html http://www.horseracingtalk.com/horse-racing-forum/need-action-delaware-1st-wednesday-11208.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:11:07 GMT No NYRA and can't wait all day for Del Mar.

Not stating it to pound my chest. For some of you that have the time to do so and want a good payoff down the road out of it here it is. My most successful track by far is (no wincing) Aqueduct. Why? It is the one track I do my homework for and am far prepared in advance to make some educated plays. I make enough typically off The Duck for my horse racing throughout the year. So here is a little advice to help you if you want to put in the time and effort. 1. If you have not already, start a barn so you are alerted on upcoming races they run in. 2. This coming meet at Belmont (Yes Belmont) will determine how successful your Aqueduct Meet will be. You see, The speed horses that run upfront at Belmont, and fade at the end of their races, are the horses that are going to win at the aqueduct meet. More especially when these horses are in posts 1 and 2. posts 3 and 4 on wet days. many of these Belmont faders will go off at moderate prices of 3-1 to 8-1. People it seems tend to bypass fading horses. Do your homework and take it to the bank. When the Aqueduct winter meet finishes, you can then tell me if I passed on good or bad information. For me, it is the time I reload the bankroll for the year. I guess I am going to give this out because I like all of you guys. Not stating it to pound my chest.

JOEL ROSARIO (Twirling Candy) -- "He must have seen something inside him. All of a sudden he went outside. I did the best I could to get him back. I don't think it (the swerving incident coming into the backstretch) caused that much trouble. I didn't have any trouble with the saddle or the reins. He did it himself. I've worked him in the morning and he sometimes ducks away from things. He's so talented. He's such a good colt. Once I got him going back right he relaxed and just went on about it."

PATRICK VALENZUELA (Jairzihno) -- "I had a great trip. That's all I can say."

RAFAEL BEJARANO (Royal F J) -- "My horse ran well. He didn't have any excuses. The winner just won easy. He's too good."

VICTOR ESPINOZA (Summer Movie) -- "He took me way out. We almost went down. My horse crossed legs with him and I had to stop riding. I was lucky I didn't go down. I think my horse might have gotten hurt. I hope he didn't, but he might have."



JOHN SADLER (Twirling Candy) --- "I think the stewards made the right call [on possible disqualification]. He [Twirling Candy] was so much the best. It was only his fourth start and he's big and headstrong. He'll get better and better against better horses. This is one of the best horses in the country; he's so gifted. He's better when there are horses around him. When he's by himself out there he does a lot of looking around. He'll run in the Goodwood Stakes [at Oak Tree] and I think the pace on a synthetic surface will be better for him."


SIMON CALLAGHAN (Jairzihno) -- "He ran a big race and we're happy to be second. The winner was the best horse. Our horse runs better in big races and that's why he was so good today. He's progressing well since he's been in this country."

The stakes win was the seventh of the meet for Joel Rosario, the most by any rider at the session. He also won last year's Del Mar Derby aboard Rendezvous. He now has 14 stakes wins at Del Mar.

The stakes win was the fourth of the meet for John Sadler and his second in the Del Mar Derby. He now has 36 stakes wins at Del Mar, tying him with Neil Drysdale for eighth place on the all-time list. ]]> Horse Racing Forum DiscreetCat http://www.horseracingtalk.com/horse-racing-forum/jockey-trainer-quotes-del-mar-derby-twirling-candy-11197.html http://www.horseracingtalk.com/horse-racing-forum/race-9-mountaineer-9-6-a-11196.html Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:12:55 GMT # 1.....wild Goose Creek.....taking A Shot @ 7/2 Good Luck And Good Racing!!!!! # 1.....wild Goose Creek.....taking A Shot @ 7/2
