2/17: Gulfstream (6th-9th)
 

Fun day of Holiday racing Monday despite the Oaklawn cancellation, but was tripped up on both chalky quads at LRL and SA. Missed Chris Grove's Sweet Goodbye in the 5 horse photo Fritchie anchor leg and Noblety on the downhill course P4 opener at Arcadia. Hope you did OK and are having better luck closing out strings than me. The highlight of Monday certainly was Sidney's Candy impressive performance in the San Vicente, as the 3yo re-booted his aspirations for his sophomore campaign. John Sadler joined me Tuesday on ATR and was clearly pleased with the way in which the Candy Ride colt drew off under his own initiative with Joe Talamo virtually motionless on the the Craig homebred. And as DRF's Brad Free hypothesized last Friday on ATR, the Santa Anita main track surface was playing much more fairly over the past week, and allowed capable frontrunners to wire fields if they were best. Sidney's Candy's effort bodes well for his ultimate move to the dirt which Sadler still has to plan with Domonation and Dave in Dixie from his barn in the Derby Trail mix as well.

Week kicks off with a very challenging sequence at Gulfstream Wednesday with a highly anticipated soph ALW feature that includes Barbaro full Lentenor making another grass start before a likely main track bid in the Florida Derby. GP 7th, 8th & 9th on ATR today!
