Well he has the right style for that track.
Got to figure that he will be on or near the lead.

I think FF is unlikely even if Jones gets a reversal.

It's Soaring Empire or Zito. The UN is one of the two Euro's.

Just looked over about 25 races for tomorrow - other than Vukovar in the 4th at Parx - I see nothing I'm that excited about.

I think there's a lot not to like about the two Euros in the UN. . . They'll both be very overbet.

I see the pedigree appeal, but what else do you like about her. . . Did she work at a sale and then get withdrawn? Don't see any sales records for her on bris.

Yeah, she worked pretty fast in blinkers. She's fast.

I love the weak worktab with only 3 blah works showing.

Wish the horse was drawn outside - and wish it didn't have OO Castillo because he will chicken sh!t it up if the horse breaks slow... but horse will be fine if it breaks well.

The Americans are dog crap.

The filly Bravo is on, she has several races on her form that should see her toy with these horses. I don't get bringing her over unless she's doing well.

Obviously Stacelita's best form is too good for these--isn't that how it is w/ every Euro? Still, though, I'm not sure she's the same horse she once was and the trainer is 0/19 in the U.S. (hit the board a number of times, though). I'm a total sucker, so I'm giving Bold Hawk one more chance on firm turf this time.

Look at her 2010 come-back race. Look at her 2nd run.

This is a good place to start, even if only competitive with ML he would be showing he can do something.

I was waiting to see if it was written anywhere, but is it possible Martin Schwartz is going to turn Stacelita over to Chad Brown? This is kind of the same thing he did with Angara, Gorella, and Zagora.

Ya, but that comeback was also vs. a much tougher field and in her backyard. Obviously she can improve second off the lay-off, but she's a 5-year-old mare who didn't really improve from three to four. There's no way you're supposed to take 5-2 on her here or whatever she'll be. Chinchon's race here last year would obviously be enough to win, but he's done a TON of traveling recently and I don't think the race sets up all that well for him.

I assume he is.

Thanks. I knew she was going to murder them when she broke well.

At least we got $23 and change in the DD with a Juan Carlos trained even money winner.
