That can be either a good thing or a bad thing for online horse betting fans. The bad thing is that we won\u2019t see Curlin and Raven\u2019s Pass run again. The good thing is that we might find some nice overlaid bets in some of these fields. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get to it!<\/p>\n<p>Race-day: 11\/15\/2008<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aqueduct Racecourse &#8211; &#8211; Race 9<br \/>\nGrade III Stuyvesant Handicap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>$100,000<br \/>\nFor Three Year Olds<br \/>\n1 1\/8th miles on dirt<\/p>\n<p>Can anybody beat Solar Flare in this race? Maybe not, but Dry Martini has some serious back class to go along with his gaudy 12 out of 19 in the money record. He\u2019s fallen on hard times recently but running against Strike a Deal and Merchant Marine should set him up well for this. He\u2019s the pick in a tougher race than what it looks like. Solar Flare should go off the chalk and, if things go his way on the front end, should wire this field. He was terrific in Argentina and has been decent in the States losing to the likes of Grasshopper, Commentator and Frost Giant. This is a much easier spot. Temporary Saint has a good chance at a top three placing. He will be pressing Solar Flare and if he makes his move at the right time, he could win this.<\/p>\n<p>1.\tDry Martini<br \/>\n2.\tSolar Flare<br \/>\n3.\tTemporary Saint<\/p>\n<p><strong>Churchill Downs &#8211; &#8211; Race 9<br \/>\nGrade III Cardinal Handicap<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>$100,000<br \/>\nFor Fillies and Mares Three Years Old and Up<br \/>\n1 1\/8th miles on the turf<\/p>\n<p>Lady Digby could go off the chalk in this which means she\u2019s a bad play but on paper she\u2019s easily the best horse in this. When she\u2019s right the Graham Motion trained, Ramon Dominguez ridden, daughter of Grand Slam can run about as well as any filly at Churchill Downs. She gets the nod. Callwood Dancer is going to be very tough. Trained by Canadian Roger Attfield, she rarely finishes off the board. This includes a second place finish in the Grade I E.P. Taylor Stakes in her last race. Meribel has name recognition and usually runs better than not, but she might not have the class to stick with some of these. A top three placing isn\u2019t out of the cards, however.<\/p>\n<p>1.\tLady Digby<br \/>\n2.\tCallwood Dancer<br \/>\n3.\tMeribel<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.betus.com\/ats\/11892\/racebook\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bet on Horse Racing at Betus Sportsbook &#8211; Click Here To Start Horse Gambling Today!!!<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Grade III\u2019s are on tap this Saturday.
