Once again thank you for the holiday offer. Hopefully everyone can cash this weekend. In looking at the Full Card files for LRL and FG, it appears as though some other product then the "Full Sheet" was uploaded. I know I have the right section since I also downloaded other cards and they appeared to be in order. Once again, thanks for the gift.

Any TGers going to be at the small tournament at beautiful Laurel Park on Saturday? Same format as the Del Park tourney, just scaled down.

We return to the scene of the crime of last years BC...Banks Hill going off at 6-1 after an impressive European campaign. Can she defend her title? Let's see...
Banks Hill - Unlike all but one of her European starts she gets the 10 furlongs she seemingly wants to have. After an impressive summer campaign (Losing to The Rock, Grandera and Best Of The Bests is nothing to sneeze at), one has t

The HUGE negatives were the numbers themselves, not a negative as in attributes (although this line is negative in my mind). They weren't -1/2 or -1, they were monster negative numbers, the likes of which I haven't seen put together in the manner in which he has, which I will say spells the end of the line for O.
This is really just a race to watch for me given my bad sprint handicapp

I'm not sure if I've ever cashed a ticket in this silly race, so take my reads with a bucket full of salt. Two turn and two turn grass races are my gig. These horses freaking in and out to negative numbers just confuses the hell out of me. The question is, "Who can run a negative number today?" In sheet order...

While the 3 yo filly may be a party crasher for the exotics, I can't see her being a threat to win the race.
If ROG goes ends up being Classic bound, then Good Journey is my Mile Key.
As for the Distaff, I think the price on Mandy's Gold will make her a possible play, albeit small.

This race hasn't exactly been kind to me over the year, with my only score coming on Spinning World, albeit at 4-1 in the Bally's Future Book only weeks before the Cup. This year looks as tough as any. Here's my thoughts in sheet order...

Every day I'm going to post my takes on each race of the BC card, save the Juvenile Fillies. The Juvenile would also be out, but unfortunately it's part of the Pick 4. These are going to be pattern reads only. Plays will only be known when the PP's are drawn and the odds go up. Unlike those on the competitors board, I'm not afraid to "hurt my price" at the windows...

I like turf races. I like long races. Therefore it should come as no surprise that the San Juan Capistrano Handicap is one of my favorite races of the year. My thoughts in post position order...
1. Kerrygold - 2 races in 15 days coming off of paired tops separated by only 21 days. I take the view that this one will regress a couple of points.
2. Continental Red - Nice horse who in the summer of

Once again the TG figured prove successful on the turf. Case in point was today's Explosive Bid Handicap at the Fair Grounds. My key in the race was Even The Score. Looked as good if not better than most in this bunch and with a good chance (or so I thought) of improving on his last few races which would make his a legitimate threat to win the race. Hap figured to be a touch slower and a ver

I agree that neither Harlon's Holiday and Request For Parole look the part, but the prices are too juicy to pass up at 40 and 60/1.
I guess sitting in the position you are in, if Johannesburg or Repent jumps up and runs a big one, so be it. Looks like all the bases are covered to me. But then again, words from a schlub like me do not line your pocket with green.
Additionally, thanks again

Jerry, judging by your (or someone else's) comments in the ROTW analysis, it certainly seems as though I wasn't the only one who took an optimistic view of this one in the KD Future Pool. Please tell me that:
1. You also played him. Or someone in the office.
2. That he took his little baby step forward today at TP.
$50 @ 90-1 goes a long way.
I played some others, but they are falling

I hadn't seen Bonapaw's sheet since the middle part of last year since he's been running in so many short field races, but man is this 4 race stretch impressive. Jerry, have you ever seen a horse run 3 HUGE figures like that? Saying they are negative figures doesn't even do them justice.
Caller One off the bench? If not him, maybe Echo Eddie? As much as I hate to say it, I

Anyone here have any experience with this tournament, normally held in August? I like the format (one day of WPS betting, one day of exacta betting) I'm considering going out this year in light of the fact I had to miss this years opening rounds of the NCAA's. Thanks for any insights.

I'm right there with you. I like FFA's pattern moreso than anyone elses and a move to around a 3 puts him right in the thick of it, especially given the weights, however I do not think that Martinez can make 116. At least I don't recall him doing so this last summer at Delaware when he was trying to break his funk. Even at even weight, I still like FFA at the price. Valhol looks ni

Is it just me, or is the Pick 6 tomorrow going to be a large syndicates only pool? Seems like almost every race is VERY deep, with the exception being for me at least, the Big Cap.

Here's how I see the field for the VERY difficult race:
1. Blending Swords 5-1 : I don't necessarily like the way this one reacted to the two tops last season, especially given that he was given rest after each of them. At the price and the likely reaction to a near top, I'll stay away.
2. Star Over The Bay 4-1 : After the change of stable to Ritvo, paired up tops, bounced, then ra

Actually this should read Thanks TG and Thanks GP stewards. Going into the Donn I thought that both Red Bullet and expecially Graeme Hall would be severly overbet and be very susceptable as heavy favorites. This being said, I saw this as a major trifecta opportunity, given the large field and chalk out of the mix. I had my key horses down to Ubiquity, Mongoose and Free of Love. Underneath those t
