If they pace huge miles, THERE WILL BE BUYERS !!!

Look at GOOGOOGAGA.  You talk about weak breeding. If the horses go very fast. PEOPLE WANT THEM

Many of the NZ imports are from NZ sires that most never hear over. People pay big bucks for these horses. Why: because they go fast.

the Finals are only going for $51k total purse--now I agree they are high purchase prices

I believe the Finals at Harrington in late July have the $110 purses

once they face open company at age 4--they are just another low level claimer racing in Delaware

there are rare occasions when they are true Grand Circuit horses--Powerful Mist comes to mind about a dozen years ago

$110k 3yo final is in the fall of this year when Dover comes back.  This is just another series for them.  Also the $110k final at Harrington in July.

they both can go 51 and change--i seriously don't think the weather will slow them 15 lengths but you could be correct

There may be buyers, but the offers will be no big deal. These Delaware horses are complete garbage buckets and these two are just clearly the best of a VERY, VERY bad crop. Neither of these two are heading for the Grand Circuit and they will be overnight conditioned animals by their 4 year old season.

Rain forecast for most of the day Thursday.  Doubt they will on faster than 53 and change, but who knows.

I predict a very typical overdrive by Allan Davis, Tetrick to sit as close as he can--then Beat Cop goes by late.

I think both horses will be odds on.

These are Delaware rats that came a last quarter in 31 plus with the two biggest rats backing through the field. Awful collection of cheap claimers.

 No they can't go in 1:51 + change. Just looked at the times for other races. One in 1:51.4
several in 1:52 + so no excuse. I will say I agree overdriven by Tetrick but I also agree that
his horse looked kinda lame. Much to do about nothing.
