Walt Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I looked at the Messenger field for Friday night and one horse just keeps jumping out to me. Every time I go to look at other runners in an outstanding field I keep being drawn back to this one horse. I don't say this horse is a good or not good bet, just that I can't look at the field without him jumping out at me. The horse: BETTER ECLIPSE. Maybe a big night for Greg Sugars who also drives Just Believe in the big trot. He and Oscar look like the quinella of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt, that happens to me now and then and if paying a big price I usually think it is not likely to come in. However they do come in on an odd occasion and I kick myself for not having a bet. There must be something in the back of your mind that you have stored away in your sub conscious and for some reason have recalled. Good luck with Better Eclipse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm wagering it's uncanny how a horse's name really stands out to me. I will have done the form and may have been including it in an exotic bet but it doesn't immediately leave me. It stays in my head for about 15 seconds where as other runners didn't have that effect. The number of times that runner actually wins the race is more than enough to get my attention. Something will have have subconsciously been taken on board with Better Eclipse in it's recent runs so when I saw it again it was "bingo!"....then every time I did the form I kept getting drawn back to Better Eclipse. That sort of powerful draw last happened to me was with Gun For Fun in the early 1980's when he won the Grand National Hurdles for Dummy. I just kept backing him as did everyone in my circle. I'm not wagering at this time but still follow harness racing with almost as much interest as if I was betting. I'll watch Better Eclipse tonight with interest and see if I should ignore instincts or place more value on them. Whatever the case may be it should be a good night of harness racing.
