Why 2-1 on Pervis? Rogue Romance came back to win a G3, but this is a tough heat. He's doing well, but even I will not play my horse at that short price. Newsdad looks to be the horse to beat, even though Clement had a firster win yesterday at the same distance. The upsetter could be Fad, very well bread for the turf and Tagg has a history of scoring now and then with big prices.

Steve is throwing his hat into the ring for the GP morning line position.

You guys think the line is bad now.......

GP 3rd: Bad Debt
GP 4th: Won Great Damsel
GP 5th: Rose Diamond
GP 6th: exacta box Ace Pilot/Valid Ocean Pass

Steve,

Jus wondering, but why only go 2 deep in a race that you peg as a super competitve dash? Keep up the great work and thanks again for all your insight!

Mike,

To me, turf sprints are regularly just crapshoots. I like to try to take a stand when possible, especially given that there are a couple other races in this sequence that need coverage with chances to produce prices. The problem with turf sprints are that you can spread and STILL get beat, so I say stay narrow and live or die.

G/L today!

Very Nice Hit... 115 Exacta is sweet.

Steve,

Sorry I didn't get back earlier. Looks like 4-1/9-2... Best of luck here!!

Becareful Steve is in a bad mood.You wouldnt want him to yell at you too

THX! The tri was nuts too thanks to the fave running out!

Didn't get exactly what I wanted or needed out of that 6th though..

:o














All right.. I'm sorry.











(I'm not ever allowed to be out of sorts?)

You hit another nice exacta in the 6th

Yeah but leaving the 10 off killed my bigger P5/P4 plays.

All I have are P3's here to the 3-5 and then one with them through to the 6-12. That's it...

Holy schit... P3 is over $600!

Nice again....

Gotta love that. Gulfstream keeps paying big!!
