![]() Monterey Jazz's 118 was basically earned in the same fashion that Commentator's 119 was earlier in the year.
He was uncontested on a clear lead through a very soft opening 1/4 mile. 4K claimers in the very next race on the card would post a faster opening quarter fraction at the same distance. Monterey Jazz deserves some credit for the tremendously visually impressive nature of the win - a very cut and dry 118 Beyer with the rider up in the saddle "looking like a jump rider" the entire length of the stretch - but when the 1st quarter was posted... you basically expect something gigantic from him with the tactical position he was in. Even with the trip and all - running five furlongs in 58 flat from the 3/4 pole to the 1/8th pole is something pretty remarkable in a two-turn route over a track that isn't especially fast. |

![]() The connections of Monterey Jazz could easily steal another large purse by taking the Lone Star Park Handicap on Memorial Day ($400,000) but it's only a Grade 3. I hope he goes to the Met Mile because jcs11204 says that Commentator will run them all off their feet and prognostication is that guy's middle name.

![]() Any word on a BSF for Pepper's Pride? Also, if anyone could find it for the Bosselman/Gus Fonner Memorial that was at Fonner Saturday, that'd be nice too. I live in Kansas, and know a guy who races the Kansas/Nebraska circuit.

The Nutz received an 18 BSF for his win over 1 1/16 miles in 1:47.40 Saturday in the $75,000 Bosselman/Gus Fonner Memorial. Andy Beyer has a hard time making figures at that distance for Fonner though because it's like 12 or 13 turns. |

![]() Haha, that's only too true. It's like a 5f track? Not for sure, but it's short.

![]() Oh, that makes a lot more sense. I didn't think an 18 sounded right, lol. I mean, I know we don't have the greatest quality racing but I didn't think it was that bad.

It'll be interesting to see how bold he gets with this horse this summer. I don't think he'll stray too far from his Cby/Tam comfort zone. |
