But keep hope alive. It's all about the pretty horsies.

Coach,

Can't argue about the Timely Writer placement, as Gulfstream shouldn't have made it part of the P4 sequence. They could have easily used the 2nd or 4th in that slot instead.

My point is that the GP Handicap is a terrific race under any evaluation and bodes well for the season in the division.

I'm not disagreeing with that. It's a good race.

How difficult would it be for GP to put the Timely Pletcher Workout Mentally Handicapped race last and make the race before the last leg of the pick 5 and 4?

That Austrian must be a complete nightmare to work for. Is there anyone in his circle of advisers that has any common sense and balls?

You're right. That was the solution... running the Mo race last and ending the multi sequences a race ahead. That's actually an issue that Tim Ritvo can address.

I think you have to place the Derby fav and most significant racing story(2011) in the sweet spot of the card. You cant have him go in the 4th race and you cant have him in the last race. If you fix this stuff the other 100 days a year this wouldnt be a big deal. Not everybody plays pik 4's and everybody who loves racing wants to see Uncle Mo.

Steve,

In the Gulf P4, in race 9, you have the #10 Rafe as fourth choice, but go 6 deep and omit him, did you intend to leave off?

Looks like a great day of racing.

Thanks as always for your time and insights, and best of luck.

Here's to a monster day!!

IF ADVANCE BETTING.... With all the stakes today, because horses can SCR at will out of stakes, be sure to check back at whatever venue you're playing as there could be changes into the early afternoon.
