tomorrow @ gulfstream (1/17)
 

Greeley's Legacy returns...his first race since the Preakness. I know he is probably not one that a lot of people were waiting on the edge of their seat for...but I'm happy:)
Race 8...Mile Allowance

I too am very interested in how he does. I thought he would give a good account of himself in the Preakness and considering he hasn't run since it is reasonable to assume something happened. He was certainly improving in the Spring ( save the slop in the Wood ).

I know there are some quotes from Weaver in DRF about this horse.

I liked Greeley's Legacy in the Preakness. Lost a few dollars on him. Thanks for letting us know he is back in action.

I know he was sent to the farm but I never heard exactly what was wrong with him...

Here are the quotes from Welsch's article.....



"We gave him a nuclear scan after the Preakness, and while he had no specific fractures he did light up in a few places and needed some time," said trainer George Weaver. "And the time has done him well. He's training like a good horse, and I must admit I have some high ambitions for him this year.

"I'm not sure if he's done enough to run his best race on Wednesday, but I think he's done enough to run very well, and I don't think a one-turn mile should be a problem for him."

thank you...

To think that there was a actually a point that I thought Greeley's Legacy would finish ahead of Bernardini in the Preakness.

Greeley's Legacy kept swelling up. There really wasnt a sound reason. Weaver decided the only way to stop this was to give him some time off. Apparently, the horse is stronger and the swelling should be a problem this year.

I bet $1 horse for horse with someone and took Greeley's Legacy....and was, of course, supremely confident and ridiculed the other person about Bernardini.

No $100 show bet on Hemingway's Key?

At least you only lost $1. Much better than I.

I bet the usual......$200 win, $400 place and $800 show....plus the usual $200 front and back exacta wheel.

You know, the Mike Warren recommended method of play.

I for one am happy too...I liked this boy. :)

What about Great Point and King of Jazz??
 

With all the attention Greeley's Legacy is getting, how about some interest in Great Point and King of Jazz?

Great Point came within a jump of knocking off Barbaro in that Holy Bull last year, and King of Jazz just missed Wild Desert in the Queen's Plate before the injury in Flower Alley's Jim Dandy...

I don't have the pps in front of me, but I seem to remember Great Point ran less than terrific recently and King of Jazz was horrendous in his comeback race....I believe behind Papa Chullo.

Preakness.. I can't believe I'm still at the Preakness
 

For some reason this just struck me as funny :D

Great Point was widest of all and came FLYING to the wire then was injured or something and hasn't run worth a darn since.

King of Jazz sounds intriguing. I love those Woodbine horses coming to Gulfstream.

I actually had Hemingway's Key keyed 3rd. I also bet Bernardini on top of Barbaro. If I remember right, Kasept suggested a Bernardini w/ SNS w/ all.

What did you get back on the Superfecta?

I was laughing. :D

You got to work with Greeley's Legacy? Lucky! Seriously, he & Jazil were probably my top 2 "goo-goo" horses.
