Will see more tomorrow...

CREATIVE CAUSE looked good and eager to be out there. Went around once the wrong way with his pony who at one point jumped into him and gave him a pretty good hip check. Is supposed to have a 3f blowout Tuesday..

Don't know if much can be made out of it. I'll Have Another's last workout in Hollywood was unconventional the way he started and ended.

Any analysis from anyone on Gemologist and El Padrino's works this morning at Palm Meadows?

Track was labeled as "muddy".....

I think there's little to be gleaned either way under the conditions, but we'll wait to hear directly from Dave Grening tomorrow.. In advance of that, I'm discouraged by what we're hearing about El Padrino. Had hoped there would be an opportunity to work him into things but he apparently continues to disappoint observers.

I see that HRTV has all the works available on their website, but only for "premium" subscribers.
