Nice insight Otis. Best part about Mott doing it seems to be the price. Baffert often does this and you never get good odds on the horse.

Thanks, moses.

Baffert is 2 for 11 over this same period. The two winners being short-priced Nadal and Thousand Words. Return on $2 win bets for Baffert horses are negative ($14.00)

The only other trainers who have pulled this off more than once since 1/1/2018 are:

R. Brisset (2 for 3 with a return of +$32.20)
J. Hollendorfer (2 for 2, +$22.40)
S. Callaghan (2 for 5, +1.80)

Also notable that TAP is 0 for 7.

Cheers,

Otis

Spice Is Nice has a good shot to end TAP's drought with this move. He is 1 for 23 since 2015, with the lone winner coming in August, 2016 at Saratoga (Nonna Mela in the Adirondack). 2nd

Other horses making this move at Gulfstream Saturday (with trainer record since 2015):

Chart (G. Contessa 0 for 1. Tried Davona Dale with Aspen Hilltop in 2017 and finished 13th) 10-1 Last

Candy Tycoon (T. Pletcher) 15-1 2nd
The Falcon (Quartarolo 0 for 2 with no ITM finishes. This one still a maiden) 50-1 7th
Country Grammer (Chad Brown 1 for 11 and has not hit since with this move since November, 2015 with Lewis Bay in the Demoiselle. Also heard Jay Privman say that Chad could not find an appropriate allowance race for Country Grammer and the ultimate goal is the Wood) 15-1 5th
Gear Jockey (G. Arnold 0 for 5) 20-1 8th

Spice is Nice is probably the only one with a real shot on Saturday, although Chart is equally unexposed.

Good luck!

Otis

No wins for TAP Saturday, but gaining a couple GII black type runners right after breaking their maidens is still pretty good.

Attfield filly yesterday count? G3, but still off her MDN breaker.

Elizabeth Way is an exciting prospect. I could not find any examples of Attfield trying MSW to G3 since 2015, so she must be a very special filly!
