1/12-15 (OP): Fifth Season; Pippin; Smarty Jones
 

Anyplace where they have stats for previous meets at hot Springs ?

Glad to see Cohen back riding.

Equibase has track stats for previous meets.

Here's what I remember from last year:
Asmussen horses did very well their second race over the track.
Speaking of Asmussen,Contreras came in to ride for him mid-meet or so and never put up a bad ride.
Quinonez /Pompell/Borel rode poorly.........especially Quinonez.
Chris Hartman was overbet a lot.
Paul Holthus couldn't catch a break.........he's probably due some luck.
Kenny Smith was cold early.......hot late.
After the first two weekends the track played fair,with the exception of an inside speed bias for one week around the middle of the meet.
Boyd Caster did well early in the meet.........especially with some of the Gary/Mary West lesser stock.
If you like chalk.........don't even bother.

Things you thought you would never hear.....

42,948.00 for 4 of 5 .50

too bad they don't have carryovers

You were accurate about Pompell . That ride he gave that four hoss in the last sucked raw eggs

Is there a reason why Santana is only riding in stakes races this weekend?

Maybe something to do with a 3 day suspension he has to serve, based on something from last year's meet?

Navistar will miss Smarty Jones with all South Florida-Memphis travel options stymied. Lone Rock expected to come out as well after running Saturday..

He’s riding Songbird’s half sister in her debut on Thursday. 8 winners so far this meet.:)
