Post Pasco Stakes

Has anyone looked at the Pasco Stakes at Tampa on Saturday? Gesu. Uptowncharleybrown, Hellen's Choice,etc. Some potential Derby trail 3 yos...

A friend of mine is a co-owner in Hellen's Choice, the 3 yo colt trained by Kathleen O'Connell. I believe that they are running in the Pasco in lieu of this stakes at Gulfstream....

Your friend has his/her horse in the right barn. KOC is white hot at Tampa right now.

This horse needs to get an easier lead, easier said than done, or take back a bit and settle. He went just a bit too fast in the Inaugural while stretching out from 5f grass tries. Obviously, this race is another furlong, so the tactics Ronnie Allen employs will be the key to Hellen's Choice's chances. The Janks horse with Rosie aboard, just to his inside, seems to be the main contender for the early lead. RAJr should be able to assess from the outside post and make a quick decision. That said, 7f should not be outside of this horse's scope and he will benefit greatly from that Inagural run.

I don't think there is any doubt he'll be on my ticket again.

Rain in the forecast for Saturday (again), so track condition could play a big part.

Talking Pasco Stakes

I was hoping to be there on Saturday for the race, but it looks like Sunday.

My opinions have been for sh*t thus far this meet, but I really like Mallory Square in the Gasparilla. I'm not sure what she beat on 12/26, but once she switched leads in the stretch, she really began to run.

A very wide open race with a few runners that are still lightly enough raced that they may move forward. Tough to take a short price on any of these.
