Week 2 gets underway and in Race 5 we have a 2 year old Maiden Special Weight for 2 year old NY State Breds on the Turf for a $56,000 purse. In these types of races I like to play the stable angle. The # 5 horse is Western Fable a 2 yo colt bred and owned by Flying Zee Stables. In 2008 Flying Zee Stables have placed 1st,2nd, or 3rd 80 times out of 185 starters for a in the money % of 43%. Yours truly spoke to Carlos Martin, the trainer of Western Fable, after being introduced to him by a mutual friend and trainer who was a guest of mine this weekend. We spoke with him Saturday after the Whitney card and Carlos was very high on a couple of his horses running this meet, particularly this 2 year old colt Western Fable. The morning line on him is 6-1. # 1 horse Dougie out of Zayat Stables LLC will be the bettors 1st choice (morning line 3-1) so I think you will be getting this horse with good valve.

Interesting that Carlos Martin would be so high on a first-time starter. According to the DRF, Martin is 0-for-24 with debut horses over the past 3 years. So I'd take his comments -- like those of practically any other trainer -- with a grain of salt.
I do like the Pletcher firster in that race, though, solely on the basis of turf pedigree.
How true-all trainer talk about a horse in their barn is always to be heard with caution. 0 for 24 is brutal but Martin is hot lately with 3 wins, 2 places out of last 6 starts over past 14 days. Hey, it is worth a shot and if it hits, good value.
Well, soory but your loocky way of gave horses are not good. Wy dont you just writhe some other things about horse racing, forget handicap.......
Anon-4:50 pm-I might have to take your advice. I actually got lucky and put in a 3 horse $2 exacta box with Western Fable,Double Domino and Dougie and actually cashed a ticket for $45.40. Better to be lucky than good I guess.
