![]() Wow- nice field in the Endeavour.
Obviously there's a little hole in the GP stakes schedule if horses like Lear's Princess, Meribel, and Dreaming of Anna show up at Tampa. NT |

![]() Well, you know it's a big day at Tampa when Travis Dunkelberger comes down to ride.

![]() Where is Check It Twice? I thought he was going in the Sam Davis after he scratched out of the Risen Star.....is he injured?

![]() The Sam F. Davis looks chalky to me with Z Humor and Wise Answer the two most likely winners by far. I just think the outside horse dramatically hurts the Zito horse who won't be able to walk through the early stages on the lead like he did in his last two.

![]() Smooth Air would be my choice in here, the only question is the distance. But I think he should be able to handle it, put him on top.

When you add in the fact that he has a definite one-turn pedigree, I think he becomes the third choice at best in this spot. He could certainly prevail, but at the relatively short price he is likely to be, I think I'll let him beat me. |

![]() I think people are underestimating Smooth Air's pedigree for routes. . .

![]() Seems like pace ought to mean something here and it looks to me like an awful lot of runners here are going to want the lead. Smooth Air and Z Humor look like stalkers that will wait for these front running types to spend themselves. Interesting that Coa jumps from the 1 to the 6.

![]() Wow, the Endeavour was quite a race!
Nice performance by the two big horses. |

![]() Lear's Princess showed a ton of guts overcoming the sluggish pace at a distance probably less than ideal for her. She'll be okay this year.

2 for 2 at the distance over turf (obviously against cheaper) and 1 for 2 on dirt (a win in the Gazelle and a toss out race in the slop in the BC). I think the pace hurt her more than the distance. Good race though, from both of them, coming off 4 months break. Would love to see them both stay healthy for the rest of the year. Edit...she has never raced 1 1/16thon dirt. The other two races ( Gazelle and BC Distaff) I referred to were 1 1/8th in distance. My mistake. Last edited by GPK : 02-16-2008 at 09:49 PM. |

![]() I love how people bold things in responses to jib/jab. Just because a horse wins at a certain distance, doesn't mean it's their ideal distance. I think she's better going 9 furlongs or more.
