The Woodward Morning Line

[Lurker]

Anybody?

A field of seven is expected for the Woodward. Along with Rachel Alexandra and Asiatic Boy, it figures to include Zito's Grade 2 winner Cool Coal Man; Bullsbay and Macho Again, the one-two finishers in the Grade 1 Whitney earlier in the meet; Past the Point, runner-up behind Curlin in the 2008 Woodward; and multiple graded stakes winner It's a Bird.

thanks, justcurious.

Southie,

Geesh, is that a sad commentary on the older makes errr what ezactly?

Sure woulda been another boring east coast G1 event without her in it, no?

I wish I saw a line like that!

Tracks would lose a fortune if that was a real line. You need to make Macho like 4-1 to make it a real line with takeout.

Would Macho be worth a $170 win wager at 15/1?

Would Macho be worth a $170 win wager at 15/1?

YES at 15-1!

Almost as much worth it as BullsBay was last time at 18-1.

Macho is the best boy horse in the race. Of course that's like saying the Rockies are the second best team not named the Dodgers in the West.
