I might be alone on this one, but I'm pretty amped for some of the winter racing. I'm done playing the nags for the rest of the calendar year, but I've always enjoyed FG, GP and TAM and hopefully they'll help next year be a more successful one.. '06 kicked my ass.

My favorite angle at Tampa...

The Jose Ferrer OFF angle.

Gulf is not everyone's favorite place. You go on a weekday and it's great. You go on a big Saturday and you cannot (literally) sit down for less than a hundred bucks unless you go into the simulcast room which is I think $30 those days.

I'm all about Tampa. Been there for four cards and always enjoyed it. A big sleeper for late fall racing is Calder. 10 graded stakes in December and a lot of the big stables race there, especially after the grass season closes in NY.

A great day at Calder will be Dec 16th. Four graded stakes. Come on down.

Above the Wind. Ronald Allen trainer. Freaking horse has won the Pelican Stakes more times than I can remember. I pray this horse is still in training.

I have to agree with all the TBD enthusiasm. It's a fun place to dive into and play. Quirky, but lots of value and decent turf racing.

I've seen Mr. Allen at Great Lakes Downs a lot lately, and he seems like a really nice guy, and someone who knows what he is talking about. When he has a horse running at Mountaineer or Tampa Bay and I notice he is watching it, I will ask him what he thinks of the horses chances and he is dead honest with me. Most of the time, he is dead on too. He will tell me "I'm not sure if this filly will like the dirt and the distance", and sure enough he will be right. Then he will tell me, "this horse is running at mountaineer and has been running with the big boys at Tampa and should roll", and the horse rolls!

Not $100 admission, But there are only 600 grandstand seats. On big Saturdays, those go for $75+. And it's virtually impossible to get those on a big day.

Don't get me wrong, I like the place, but on a big racing day, yah gahnah pay tahp dahlah.

Come over for the race. Don't let me move you off going. Hell, I get pissed off if there's no handicap spaces left at Calder and i have to park in row 3.
