You could have found a reason to bet the 11 horse..Lasala's only mount, etc but the 9 was just out of no where.

Just your typical cut back, trainer switch, run like absolute dog sh*t on the Tampa sand, yet can run on another surface bomb.

Some horses just absolutely can't stand up on that surface down there.

And the crazy double from the 4th and 5th was followed up by a Catalano winner.....who paid $38.60 (he won by 4+ lengths ) You sure don't see a Catalano runner at AP go off as the tenth choice very often.

It sure was an unusual day at AP....other than the fact that I didn't pick any winners. That part was the same.

If you could believe it, he is low on horses and quality this year. His horses have not been running well at all so far this meet.

There was one point, I believe in the race that Cat won ,where the Pick-3 was going to pay 1/3 if the #1 horse had won.

Yikes.

I've noticed that he seems to have less starters than normal and while he hasn't been winning as much as he usually does, he's still winning at a 20% clip. By his lofty standards that isn't great, but its obviously pretty good by the standards of a normal trainer.

Its the type of horses that he has, more claimers then last year. No good horses, yet.

Do you know the reason for this? I haven't heard/read anything.

And....in a related matter....why don't he and Calabrese just realize that they were made for each other, let bygones be bygones, and get back together?
