I Found my First BC Bomb

[Vince P]

Please don't laugh and hear me out.

Day 1, 2012, Marathon.

Kaleidoscope (ARG), 30-1ml.

- Nine year old nag moved from Argentina to US a couple of months ago just to prepare for this race.

- Horse seems to want to run all day with a HUGE Tomlinson for this distance.

- Horse seems to much prefer God's Natural Dirt over Turf.

- Has began a steady stream of nice works at Inglewatts.

- Has won in large fields at long distances on dirt.

- Great post position in the 7 hole.

- This Marathon race has come up with bombs in the past.

- Many horses in this race are trying this distance/surface for the first time but not this nag - he's an absolute pro at it.

Go for it and start your BC weekend off on the right foot. You can thank me later with a burger and from In 'N out.

another bomb in that race could be romp. i have special betters relationship with that horse. he was running in ny for a $25k tag, i loved him that day and he didnt run a jump. a few weeks later i bet him again and he didnt run a jump. so i lost my arse on him. about 3 years later i was playing simulcast at turfway and was having a really good day.
at about 3 minutes to post in a stakes race in so cal i noticed his name in the post parade. so i grab the form and see its that same horse, im not sure why i even remembered him. he was like 90to1 on the board. they are now at the gate, so i run up to the window and put $50.00 to win on him (like a dumbass) he gets beat a nose
pays a huge place show price and the gimmicks were all huge. he has hit the board at monster prices several times and if i recall he even won a stakes race or two and has earned like $400k . i wonder how he even ended up in california

Well, there goes my 77-1 odds I was hoping for. Btw, anyone ever see a horse work "bareback?"

Calidoscopio (three furlongs in 37.68 for Marathon) didn’t receive an official work but was in the process of two-minute licking at the end of his second mile when passed by another worker on the turn. The Argentinean-bred, who trains bareback, then dragged his rider through a final quarter-mile in 24 and change down the lane while reaching out with long and very impressive looking strides to the wire. Little known South American invader may be a sleeper in the Marathon.

Was it Rob who used to say "Argentine horses are bred for dirt?"

Wesley Ward will fly under the radar, i can see him winning with some nice odds

[Triple Threat]

Great call Vince!

He may not have been 30/1 but 17/1 is the perfect odds. The only closer to win all weekend and believe, me on, this, that was a horse of the year performance.

[Syncopate]

He was definitely the most entertaining horse at BC works with his babushka like scarf around his neck & the jock with his feet out of the stirrups.

Might be a new trend so stay tuned-

Damn Vince !!!! You are the master. Wish I would have heeded your prophecy, as I had Basmati and the Lukas horse in my pick 3, but was alive to only Atigun and Jaycito. I almost put the horse in based on the name. Also good to see Aaron Gryder get a shot in a big race. The guy is vastly underated.
