Jerry\'s SUPER FROLIC figured to have some kind of legitimate shot in Saturday\'s Donn Handicap. But one silly stat bothered me: Trainer Vladimir Cerin at GP - 3 - 0 - 0.
Now Cerin\'s 4 - 0 - 0.
Same thing with Steve Asmussen\'s DIXIE MEISTER in the Strub Handicap. The gelding figured to be somewhere in the mix but, curiously, Asmussen was 4 - 0 - 0 at Santa Anita.
Now he\'s 5 - 0 - 0.
By the way... nice rail-skimming ride in the Strub by Solis on Dan Hendricks\' TOP THIS AND THAT for 2nd at 19-1. A great underkey/backwheel. Hendricks knocked off STEVIE WONDERBOY earlier in the meet. He\'s got the no-bounce gusto.

Super Frolic needed one. You can\'t say the same for Greeley\'s Galaxy. Doubt it was much of a factor but despite the Hawthorne Gold Cup, Frolic does not relish goo.
High Limit ran his race, the race he ran last time was even better than it looked. He was in front of Giacomo in the Preakness under much tougher early pressure and was only beaten 2 lengths. High Limit was the standout in this race and did not run an obscene negative number. He\'s a good horse, not a special one.
\"Bob and John\" and High Limit both covered the circuit in 1.49.15
Will their numbers be equivalent? Don\'t count on it.
Both those horse\'s did appear to be sitting on efforts , obviously it just didn\'t happen in the Cal race w/ DM , but I was wondering while watching the GP card on my computor incl the race w/ SF , whether there was a dead rail across the inside path\'s on most of the day .
