Levy final at Yonkers

[Willie]

What type of draw makes the race a cinch?

What type of draw makes it most competitive?

[LVGaryD]

I don't think there is a cinch in that field. This year it is very competitive!

If Doc draws 5 or better he wins for fun. Cashman the shit!

that's going to be one fast first quarter

If I was Mark Ford, no way do I blast from the 8 hole even though I just overpaid for a horse because he was running in a rich final, Mark Ford one of the good guys in the sport IMO gets screwed.... If he blasts from the 8 hole he could be looking at a FFA pacer that gets gutted....I would take my chances and try and get in the flow early maybe be 3rd over into a wicked half or something try and salvage a piece of the pie...

This will be the first race I watch at Yonkers since we were out in Vegas in Jan. With It being there, so Hard for the outside horses to leave and not get killed in a field like this.

[jordanjacob]

Yonkers and 8 posts don't mix well, too much of a disadvantage, and too many horses in there can go in 1.52.

Sit and hope for a rough trip for some of the horses up front. Otherwise the Open's at Yonkers will soon go for nearly $50,000.

It's a long season and there will be many chances to earn some money.

How did he overpay ? he just bought a horse that races in the Open every week .

And if he does get a check in the final , the new connections don't get all of it.

Ill you how he overpaid, the price set had taken into account that he would be running in the final for big money.... Had he been sold after the race would have been "significantly less" by a good chunk imo...

Once again the new connections (Ford) will not get the full purse check of whatever he makes in the final.

So what?  No percent of a check is now what he will be receiving now as mark ford said coming into the race that it was the most important race and draw in his career...

You keep saying that he bought the horse because of the Levy final , and I keep trying to tell you that no matter what he makes in the final he's not getting a 100% of the check .yes it would be a nice way to get some of his money back but I'm sure he didn't figure on drawing the 8 hole either .
Have you ever tried buying an open class horse ?

[Jeremy]

He wasn't forced to buy the horse.  If the price was too high he could have found other horses to buy.
