In regard to your previous question about Beyer Speed Figures, here are some nice posts on Dan Illman's DRF Formblog about the Gotham from regular posters vicstu, andybeyerforpresident and Alan:<br /><br />http://community.drf.com/formblog/2010/03/hg-175-gotham/comments/page/2/Calvin Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135059434890408890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-35685827104430076042010-03-07T03:04:39.137-05:002010-03-07T03:04:39.137-05:00Can't believe the running of the Sham Stakes. ...Can't believe the running of the Sham Stakes. Highly disappointed that both colts gave up at the 6 furlong marker. <br /><br />Then Peppi and even worst, Todd horse three something quite also.<br /><br />Good night.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-2555272473494292452010-03-06T17:20:13.808-05:002010-03-06T17:20:13.808-05:00Calvin Peppi Knows is a top rated colt. If he did...Calvin Peppi Knows is a top rated colt. If he did not hook Buddy Saint, the colt would have moved way up on everyone list.<br /><br />His prior victory only certified his fitness. Look for the colt to move forward to a rematch with Buddy Saint in the Wood (gr.1).<br /><br />Out west, I'm all in for Kettle River and Wolf Tail, it could go either way. Wolf Tail is not to be overlooked. Draw a line through his initial two turn outing, after a two month layoff. The colt is a 100K stakes winner down at Del Mar and 2nd in the Cal Cup Juv. In the comeback race over two turn he had to carry 122 and was bet down to 5-1. In his previous races the colt had to carry 123 and 120 against stakes company.<br /><br />The colt had everything against him in his comeback race over two turn. <br />Heavy weight, <br />Hook a monster in the winner, <br />Initial two turn race of his career.<br /><br />TODAY the colt get in with a mere 116 at 25-1 opening odds. <br />Conditioning has improved with the 1:13 recent work across town at HOL.<br /><br />To see the colt true potential, all you have to do is look back to October and September and compare his races to all other entrants. <br /><br />None of these were even close on the radar watch in Oct or Sept. <br /><br />Kettle River was on the shelf with an injury. <br /><br />Wolf Tail will probably get the second place behind Kettle River win today. <br /><br />Kettle River is the the colt to actually take Eoin Harty to the 136 Kentucky Derby line up with Graded Stakes earnings. His next target will probably become the BlueGrass Stakes.Barry Reed Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903316583409905690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923306023768834171.post-63146035928491063302010-03-05T21:36:58.942-05:002010-03-05T21:36:58.942-05:00Thanks Keith,

His earlier wins were not against the best of company...but they were wins nonetheless and many in the Gotham are struggling in that department.<br /><br />Happy wagering!Keith-TripleDeadHeathttp://www.tripledeadheat.canoreply@blogger.com
