I keep looking at the pps for the Ft. Lauderdale and trying to be objective (I'm a big fan of Silver Medallion and Hoofit both).

I keep coming back to Hollinger.

Am I nuts? I know all about Mutual Trust so don't need that lecture but Hollinger...just keeps jumping out at me (stop it! ).

Anyone else???

Really weird race, to me. This feels like a prep for Mutual Trust, though he could probably win this and the extra 1/16th of a mile should be of no concern.

First time turf for both Flat Out (zero turf pedigree) and Uptowncharleybrown, who also puts the blinks back on.

The really interesting one to me is Yummy With Butter. I nice little prep race and some works over the Tampa sand should give him a nice bottom going into this race. Not the worst stab in the world at what should be a juicy price and if I play any horizontals, he will be in my tickets.

Agree that Yummy With Butter looks interesting. I'm using him in the 3rd spot.

Using Teaks North with my 2 guys in the 2nd spot and then Yummy With Butter and Mutual Trust.

Guys Reward has screwed me a few times coming in 3rd but hey can't use them all so as of right now that's my winner and my tri.

edit - 9,10/9,10/3,4,5,7,11,12 (might lose the 3 though)

... and Hollinger to win.

Ummm I didn't see the race so can't comment on Yummy being taken down.

I posted and had the tri.

I won't go into having the 10 cent super since I didn't post it and don't want to be accused of redboarding. My tvg account is pretty damned happy though.
