2/26 (GP): Fountain of Youth, Hutcheson, Davona Dale (G2's)

And, when he shows that he can't go long, he can still turn back to 7F for the Bay Shore on Wood Day five weeks later.

He has NO chance in the Hutcheson. It's a no lose switch. Plus, what killers are pointing for the Gotham?

No chance because he's not good enough or because he's a speed horse? I don't think he's good enough for either, so I guess it really doesn't matter. I do think he has some guts, so I would have taken my chances in the Hutch. He didn't fold in his debut, maybe he'd do ok in that race.

I'm sure there are no killers in the Gotham (well, one of my favs is running, but still), but I don't think he wants to run one step past 6 furlongs. I know he won last out at 7, but instead of pulling away from Sovereign Default, he almost lost that race.

Hope he doesn't draw far outside in the Gotham, then we may not see him till the Wood.

"Far Outside" will probably be the 5 hole

Supposedly its like a 9 horse field right now

The 7th is an amazing betting race. My only toss so far is El Kingdom, all the others are right there.

Reb is very interesting to me with that 46 work two back and a sneak good return race.

I've got it narrowed down to Jimmy Simms and Mystic if he draws in. Jimmy Simms looks like he might end up setting or being right on a moderate pace and he ran better than it looks last time. Same thing could be said for Mystic who made the first move last time, maybe a little early and made the kind of move you like to see for a horse the next time around.

Good betting race though.

As expected, McLaughlin wimped out with Crossbow. I didn't see the other speed horses scratching............

Look up the word obstinate if you aren't familiar with it.

I'm ashamed to say I think Toby's Corner is a pretty nice horse...I know I am in the minority.
