Its tough to go into Calder and beat the horses that are always running over that surface, its very different than CHD, Mountaineer, and poly in Smokeys case. Mach ride had to figure just because thats his home track, not to mention the hrose he drilled in the Champali is a REAL nice horse.

I agree 100%. It's a locals track, always has been. Just look at the winners of the races in the past Summit of Speeds...

Anybody need a refresher on Dubai Escapade running off the board even though she was clearly the best filly sprinter in America last year?

I have always found Calder to be a wierd kind of track as far as surface. And when I do play there I like to play the longshot, hometrack horses just for that fact.

nobody has mentioned that it was also extemely humid here today. The Florida based horses are used to the humidity. I agree with Bid in that it is a very tiring and cuppy track. A track that takes getting used to.

Rob

Youll get to see that Panamanian horse come into his own. Wolfson trains him, the next time he sprints you can go both hands to the window. Wont lose

Mach drilled him and Wolfson misplaced him in that 100k grass stake. He should show up in a few weeks in a normal sprint allowance and stonecold gallop. Probably get a decent price

Golden Strategy

Ran against Mach in Champali, first race since he was imported, then they misplaced him in a 100k grass stake last weekend. Hes a sprinter, and a very good one at that. Now that he has a few races in him and is acclimated Im sure youll see him drill a field down there.

The race is a throw out for me. Big fat Magic marker line.
