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.

GL today boys

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.

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

Pool is over 100k...

GL all.

Oh wow, that hurt. Thought the 8 was going to blow by on the inside and he just hung there.

just got in from the track - was on the backside in time for Jeffries to tell me to watch out for the 8 in that race...He works horses out with him and said he should be very live at a fair price...Also told me to watch out for Pitchnicholas in the 7th but couldn't get to the window in time

thrilled he got the win as the owner is also in on WS with me

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.

I think you mean Shipwatch fat man.
