2/23: Magna 5
 

Busy week on the road and heading to Tampa in a few hours.. Magna 5 features Einstein back on the grass in the Gr. I Gulfstream Park Turf, a scenario that cost a group of us this same weekend's M5 hit in 2006.

GULFSTREAM 9th (5:15p): GP Turf (Gr. I), 4+, 11f-T (DD, Super)

A very good edition of this race where Helen Pitts' Einstein makes another appearance having a win and placement in it the last 2 years. Will be tough again entering affair on same run-up as prior pair. BC Turf runner up Shamdinan makes 4yo debut, but Angel Penna told me Wednesday that he's not happy starting the French-bred out at the mile and three-eighths distance but had no other options available to him. Classy but gives recency away to many here. Romans' Thorn Song saves ground nd should get first run on Einstein; Zann makes first start for KMc and Neal McLaughlin told me this week they expect a big try; Dave is in career best form for Tagg and while hard to see as a winner here, has chance to light tote underneath..
