Player's List might be dangerous. Sure he has never hit the exacta in 10 lifetime starts, but the jock also hasn't won a route race in two years. Talk about being due.

Best of luck to Medaglia d'Onore.

The jock might have trouble winning a route race because she is a bodybuilder and rides anywhere between 125-to-134 pounds.

Player's List is the 122 pound highweight in the race ... and it's odds-on the jock is atleast 2 pounds over.

Thanks again everybody. Hoping he makes it around safely and in 1 piece.
Joe, I made sure to hide the ammo also.

Very best wishes!

I was going to put some fun $$ on him......just for fun, of course.

Looks like I won't get a chance as my California OTB apparently isn't offering Tampa Bay Downs action.

Safe trip, and get a nice check!

BTW, looks like Centeno is having a decent start on the day.....hopefully a good sign.

This is one of the commonest failings among trainers; however good a horseman/woman you are and however fit your charges are, you aren't going to win if they aren't placed where they can compete. An honest and clear-eyed evaluation of how good your horse is compared to its prospective rivals is the biggest difference between an okay trainer and a good one.

Pretty much no is the answer.

Think about how much money Teuflesburg could have raked in if he had been properly placed through most of his 3yo campaign....

Grabbed a quarter with his little stumble at the break, plus he's got a bit of a sore shin this morning. Bad day all around.
