Poltergeist, Silver City: Facing off in Monday's Southwest at Oaklawn..

Big Crama: Hasn't worked in ages. Has a problem that David Fawkes won't specify..

Notonthesamepage: Fountain of Youth try planned..

Checklist: Embarassingly bad 5th or 6th at 3-5 the Friday before Donn-Holy Bull..

Pressure Point: Good question.. Haven't seen anything about him since the race in early January.. Mike Maker trains..

Stately Character: Uninvolved 5th in the Holy Bull last week.

Valid Rules: Never heard of this one..

Perfect Song: Is my man Trombetta's.. Owner entertained some offers for big fig debut winner, but hasn't been moved. Gotham maybe..

There's a certain PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPE that doesn't use the SPACE BAR. There's a dissertation topic for someone.

Pressure Point went a 1 1/8 at gulfstream, the day 2 races at that distance, for 3yr olds were carded, he was bet well, something like 3-1 and lost to one of the Mcpeek horses.

Stately Character broke badly in the Holy Bull, so he might deserve another chance. Silver City has a breathing problem and I'll be surprised if he can go long unless they are somehow able to correct it.

Forgot to mention that Big Drama missed a couple of weeks after kicking his stall. Not a major problem, but the timing kept him out of the Holy Bull.

Giant Oak was the vistim of Prado's worst ever ride. I didn't bet him but I like this colt and think he is better than his race in the Risen Star. He is a big long striding horse that was run up in tight quarters twice and still came running to finish 5th.

Meaning he'll probably be a horrendous underlay next time too.

I don't buy that. He hasn't worked in 3 weeks now. Something is amiss. I'll call David Fawkes today and get an update though.

Well.. he's not. He's going back to Calder from Gulfstream tomorrow and will only be starting back on a regular routine then. So unless David Fawkes changes plans from the conversation I just had with him, that's Big Drama's status. Fawkes also has absolutely no schedule for him. If it looks like he's ready for a race along the way towards a Derby prep, he'll run, but the priority is the horse for him and Hal Queen.

Will keep him as a horse to watch for in future then, just thought he sounded promising as notes I had on say he had won 5 in a row,and had enough earnings for Derby. Also he had won going short and longer . I know the subject comes up quite a bit on here concerning the fragility of the race horse these days, do you think that was the case here? Too many races too soon? just wondering as I dont know that much about that part of it and am always interested in learning more.
