Dismal day of handicapping at the FG and GP. Asmussen was taking no prisoners at the FG. It reminded me of Pletcher last year on Fountain of Youth day at GP, where he won with Deadly Dealer, Half Ours, King of the Roxy, and Scat Daddy. It just reminds me that on the big days, Asmussen is the king of the FG and Pletcher of GP. Oh yeah, Pletcher's runner won the G2 Old Hat yesterday.
As a handicapper following these tracks, you must sometimes call an audible on your selections and go with the hot barn. I was able to make the adjustment being at GP last year and placed a nice wager on Scat Daddy, but yesterday at the FG I continued to take a beating. Blackberry Road ran a decent race, which was one of the few bright spots on a forgetable day.
