The rest of the horses have their regular S. FL jocks. Jason Biedes poached some mounts for Lezcano, but who among 'A' list jocks should come down for horses they have never ridden when they have rides in the United Nations, Hollywood Gold Cup, Royal Heroine, Suburban, Dwyer, etc.?
isn't Gomez going through his "personal issues" out there in the west?
what i'm saying steve, is i'm wondering how/why bigger riders even below the cusp riders at bigger circuits aren't taking advantage of these purses by locking down mounts.
didn't think i would see the day where the likes of arnoldo bocachica and luca panici would have back to back mounts in grade 1 events

I hear you about the Bocachicas, Nunezes, Gallardos and Panicis, but they're giving away $1,000,000 in NY and NJ too Saturday. At Belmont, the Suburban is worth $350k, Dwyer $200k and then the rest of the card another $500k. At Monmouth, the United Nations is worth $500k, the Salvator Mile $150k and the rest of the card maybe $300k. Who among Rosario, Castellano, Velazquez, Prado, Bravo, Lopez, Trujillo should abandon their mounts to ride in Summit on horses they've likely never ridden? And if you look closely at the PP's, you'll see that Saez and Lezcano have glommed a number of rides. I also wouldn't think the trainers would want to penalize their everyday jocks by taking away their chance at stakes paydays. When Summit got more horses shipping in for the day, you would get the regular big names to come and ride them. And Santana, Saez and Lezcano are doing that Saturday. Plus the others like Willie that are in for one or two rides.

Its a great card at Calder. Both main 6f drew large and competitive fields
Betting wise it looks great.

Meanwhile We have a 4 horse field in the Swaps, 5 horse field in the Hollywood Gold Cup and a 5 horse field in the Suburban. Rout races are dying a slow death.

Default Summit of SPeed INvaders

Steve,
Im down here in South Florida excited about heading to Calder for Summit of Speed. I seem to recall that a bunch of the low priced invaders have not run well here in the past probably due to the heat and humidity.

Can you ask Mike W on Friday if he recalls this, or has any stats?

Thanks,
Bill

Enjoy this Summit of Speed. You may never see another (at CRC at least).

Huh, didn't realize the Smile Sprint winner Bahamian Squall is fellow competitor Apriority's half-brother. Both are out of Midway Squall.

That will be good for my wallet. I don't think I've ever had a profitable Summit of Speed day.
