On pure numbers Cowboy Cal lays over ( aside from Wise Answer's freak race on dirt ),and will be a very short price, but these are newly turned 3 y.o. so most of them can improve. Cannonball looks to have a real shot. If Samyn can get this one home then who knows how nuch better he will be with a real jock on his back..Elvis certainly will move him up. The Ward/Elvis angle at CRC is huge. ( 41% from 51 runners )

Also, Titan of Industry had a lot of trouble last race and gets blinkers. He'll be on my Pick 3's as well.

Hope everyone has a winning 2008

Cowboy Cal looked awesome...loaded up the whole way

Why Tonto took a ton of late money. he was like 23/1 during the post parade and finished up at 11/1
