2/20: GP (5th-11th); Magna 5; FG (6th-11th); OP (Southwest)
ANOTHER BIG WEEKEND:Wonderful afternoon in store for racing fans Saturday as Derby Trail action comes into focus with the Hutcheson, Fountain of Youth, Risen Star, rescheduled Southwest and El Camino Real Derby all on tap. Magna 5 opportunity should be a little more lucrative this week after a tiny payout in the opener, and all stakes P4's at New Orleans and Hallandale have potential to provide fireworks.
A SURE SIGN OF SPRING! The fun Road to the Roses contest starts today, and if you want to jump into a league, feel free to add your stable to the Derby Trail (and ATR) group. Prizes to the Top 5 finishers... DT/ATR RTTR League League Name: DerbyTrail.com League Identifier: 296565368 Activation Code: 3881894580 LLOYDOBLER STRETCHES OUT: Early part of the day will have Dee Tee Stables partners excited as Lloydobler makes his second career start at Aqueduct stretching out to a mile versus a nice group that have faced some well-regarded sophomores. Chucky Lopez rides back in the 2nd half of the opening Big A double, with the wide-blazed Smarty Jones colt the 6-1 fourth choice in the field of 8. Pace will be a key factor for the stalker-closer's potential in the event, as there isn't a clear indication of who in the group will be eager for the lead. Thanks to the partners, Gary Sciacca and Chuck Simon for making it possible, and to Gary's long time assistant Paul Barone and Lloyd's groom Javier who has been with the Sciacca barn nearly 15 years, for their tireless efforts. Here's to a safe trip for Lloyd & CC. GULFSTREAM PARK POST-SCRATCHES 5th: MSW, 3yo, 9f-T (P3, DD, Super) Best Value: #3 Rock America 6-1 3rd Most Likely: #7 Big Shot 3-1 2nd Next Best: #11 Michael Rules 8-1 6th Super Add: #10 Dreaming Blue 6-1 9th 6th: MSW, 3yo, 7f (P6, P3, DD, Super) Most Likely: #1 (POE) Scary Good 6-1 5th Best Value: #5 Unbridled Fury 10-1 WON Next Best: #9 Cavin Caden 4-1 3rd Super Add: #3 Farmer Jones 10-1 9th 7th: ALW/N1X, 3yo-F, 1m-T (P3, DD, Super) Best Value: #6 Dreamed to Dream 15-1 5th Most Likely: #11 Caminadora 4-1 4th Next Best: #7 Charlotte Apples 5-2 WON Super Add: #3 Sun Pennies 8-1 3rd 8th: 57th Hutcheson (G2), 3yo, 7f (P4, P3, DD, Super) #1 Radiohead a likely SCR per DRF's Mike Welsch on ATR Friday..

Bruce Levine has lost a lot of NY business (Repole, Moss) bringing this dual G2 winning Derby Trail prospect to FL, so it's hard to believe he doesn't think Saint Liam bay is authentic. Still needs to prove something to me though having bested little and with one turn Nashua his only 'fast' race. Rooting for sake of hard-working Levine; leaning elsewhere with hard-earned money..

I like Stay Put and Discreetly Mine too. (that could be a bad thing
 ) I really thought Quiet Temper was going to be a decent filly until her last...not sure what to do with her today. Most importantly, good luck to you all with Lloyd!

Steve,
Hope you see this. The analysis of the Fountain of Youth Stakes on atr led to a riight on prediction. The negativity on Levines horse was just as important as the actual selections thanks for leading me in the right direction on that one. But please tell me this what led you to pick Stonehouse on top yesterday, a fanastic payoff in a short field but I would never have figured that out and I love longshots. I would love to hear about that one.

Thanks for the note! Glad you benefited from the ATR conversation(s) and opinions. Anyone who listens regularly has cashed tickets with the kind of info Mike Welsch, Jay Privman, Rick Hammerle, Brad Free, et al, deliver on the Friday Preview Show (or any time guys like them visit)...
As for Stonehouse, he jumped off the page as a horse sitting on big effort at a track and distance where he's put up his best races; was sure to get an ideal stalking trip behind the potentially dueling favorites; got 5-6 pounds from the top choices; was certain to be overlaid in the short field. In essence, in what looked like an unbettable race, he was at 12-1 or more what you wanted in the P3, as a win bet, or exotic key. Have to admit that my reaction while watching the race in the tiny Gulfstream 'press box' was inappropriate.
