I had posted something similar a week or so back, little update:

1) The Pamplemousse
2) Patena
3) Giant Oak
4) Pioneer of the Nile
5) Fresian Fire

FF just notched out Stardom Bound and Mr Fantasy.
Mr. Fantasy goes saturday in the Gotham correct?
Im hoping to get an acceptable price considering he will be up against Haynesfield (who I believe has done nothing but edge out wins over incapable horses)

Mr fantasy is going staurday in new york..also talamo is flying in for i want revenge even though he is banned to sunday.....they are allowing him to ride because it is a stakes race....

Could be a nice price on the out-of-town shipper I Want Revenge, with most of the attention focused on the Mr. Fantasy/Haynesfield battle.

FlyinLate · 03-03-2009, 01:33 PM

I was completely unaware I Want Revenge was shipping west for this. Play exactas with Haynesfield out of the top 2!

This race should prove alot. Should I Want Revenge run well it would flatter Pioneerofthe Nile. This should also give us a gauge on Mr. Fantasy. Two runaway wins on the front end (similar to Big Brown on paper). If he can handle this competition, look for Mr. Fantasy to skyrocket on people's lists. Race should also show how good Haynesfield actually is (which is not that good IMO, but we'll see).

Doh meant to say shipping east!

I WANT REVENGE & PIONEER OF THE NILE both DUAL QUALIFIERS

A odd horse who is running in the gotham is axel foley....even though his last one was a clanker he shipped to the east and is being trained by k.mclaughlin now....did not know he switch barns from doug oneil......big difference, long shot look but another note for that race is that joe talamo said after I want revenge does not take to the surface at santa anita thats why they shipped east...just a little tidbit.

#1 DUNKIRK -- #2 FREE COUNTRY -- #3 MR. FANTASY -- #4 THE PAMPLEMOUSSE -- #5 PIONEER OF THE NILE ( I know contorversy with my top 3. Just like all the other years when I had, early in the game before the hipe, Big Brown, Bernardini, Hard Spun, Victory Gallop, A.P. Indy, Red Bullet ect.) Top 3 highly capable Colts at a good price, not 2-5. Free Country being @ the best price of the three. Hoping to get 15-1 or better in the La. Derby, with a bouce back ( Just like Quality Roads did ). May the Horse be with you. Good Luck

I don't take anything away from your top 3 as Mr. Fantasy nearly made my list. As for Dunkirk I'm not into his hype and am not as impressed as most. Yes his trip was awful in his last, but who did he really beat? I don't personally see Free Country as a derby horse but best of luck to you.
Agree with you in full on #'s 4+5
