Steve: What do you think of the theory that European horses dont break from the gate as well as their American counterparts...Halfway to Heaven is the one I am thinking will not break well in the Filly & Mare Turf. If she breaks slow its over for her.

The DRF says that Coa has ridden for Catalano 15 times in the past year and won at 40%. That's about 39% more than he has won for me. The guy has to be the most frustrating rider to have your money on. It's especially odd in the sprint with Louis Michael, since Douglas came out to CA to win the Pat O'Brian with a 102 BSF.

Douglas contracted the moron virus recently, he has been in love with being 5w around two turns most of the race and then wondering why he has no horse

Especially on big days, he seems to turn it up a notch....Some guys just don't run for certain people, this I can understand, I can't hit Tyler Baze at all, little bitch always f's me somehow

Interesting seeing you put up Van Lear Rose. I noticed she was very close to Laragh a while back, who is listed at 7-2 ml odds in the Juv Turf

Today's Racing Digest longshot pick- not sure if you are familiar with the Digest, but VLR plots right there off the Woodbine Race 10/5.

When dat lil btch fks you, he comes back lit up like a Christmas Tree. Always has to be smiling so brightly, and singing to himself:

"All I wanna do is (BANG BANG BANG BANG!)
And (KKKAAAA CHING!)
And take your money"

So, Steve, you think the C.S. Silk filly is one turn?

Scuds.. Not at all. I was trying to get in her in the plays myself and did so on some revisions tonight. She looks incredible physically. Many astute judges of horseflesh are impressed with her.

Coa always finds a way to lose and somehow manages to always keep his horses in trouble. You can never single a Coa horse in a pick-six. He's great at Gulfstream and Aqueduct in insignificant races, but he's not the guy you want in a big race.

That being said, I've got to include both Catalano horses on my tickets...but I'll be spreading.
