The Tampa Bay Derby might as well be an ALW race - and Palm Meadows is what - like 3.5 hours to Tampa and 1 hour to Gulfstream.

It boils down to facing Uncle Mo for no graded money in a one-turn mile - or facing Brethern for a lot of Graded money in a two-turn 8.5f race... but yeah, you do have to spend an extra 2.5 hours on a van for the latter.

You know those van rides. Just too much too soon for a whole 3rd start.

Now they are saying he'll run an OC at Gulfstream Sunday. This guy needs racing after looking really green.

Cleverly played - all you needed to do was publicly threaten to run at Tampa - and Gulfstream let an alw race go that will probably scratch down to a 3-horse field by post time.

That is nothing compared to getting over the Rockies.
