Interesting Grade 3 from Tampa.

I have bet on SKIPPY when he's been long odds, and bet against him when he's been short. Looks like I'm betting against, since he figures to be a short price against this group.

He has the number power, but the pattern is dubious. He's off a number that's three points off his top, and I consider that to be a effort. Needs more time to run back to the -1, IMHO.

Not real high on anyone in particular, but I'll be looking for at least 5/1 from the following horses to bet against SKIPPY:

TRADEMARK
THE REDS
TAX
BUSINESS MODEL

I guess I'm partial to THE REDS because he's the highest odds going off the ML. He has a buried top, two back, when wide at Churchill. Last race is a clunker, but he was off a top, and off Lasix. He comes into this race with plenty of time since the top, and he's back on Lasix.

Fingers crossed. Have yet to be right when I'm zig-zagging with SKIPPY.
