Am I nuts? I know all about Mutual Trust so don't need that lecture but Hollinger...just keeps jumping out at me (stop it! ).

Anyone else???

Really weird race, to me. This feels like a prep for Mutual Trust, though he could probably win this and the extra 1/16th of a mile should be of no concern.

First time turf for both Flat Out (zero turf pedigree) and Uptowncharleybrown, who also puts the blinks back on.

The really interesting one to me is Yummy With Butter. I nice little prep race and some works over the Tampa sand should give him a nice bottom going into this race. Not the worst stab in the world at what should be a juicy price and if I play any horizontals, he will be in my tickets.
