No time to look at the whole sequence, but I did look at the 7th race. My only bet today is #4 Rahoo. Love him on the stretch out.

He'll be a nice barometer for Shipwatch (in the 10th). Of course, Shipwatch was blocked pretty much the length of the stretch last out, while this one had a clear, last move run.

Jamie Ness is the best trainer in the world.

It's either him or Scott Lake

Made it back to the computer in time to add Drinkwater and play the ticket.

Pool is over 100k...

GL all.

I see where Drinkwater drew in for the 7th race and Velez jumps off Rahoo. Velez played a part in my betting Rahoo today, as I think he is one of the top judges of pace in the grass at Tampa. Unfortunately, had to make the bet before I left the house this morning. Willie is certainly a capable subsitute.

I think going from ONE to TWO turns on the grass, especially if never attempted previously, is one of the most difficult things for a horse to do. There are all kinds of footwork issues that come into play. This almost never works at BEL, or SAR, for example. In fact, this move is typical of the LOWER IQ trainers.

Yet, it seems to do a bit better on 'smaller' tracks.

To take a horse like Shipwatch, that tried hard last out and never got a chance to run until very late, and then ROUTE him FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER off that effort, is mind boggling to me.

Rahoo, on the other hand, at least has routed once on the turf and didn't have a 'frustrating' trip last out.
