Title: Monday's racing...
Post by: shanahan on February 15, 2010, 05:59:41 AM
love Domonation in the SW...Nakatan is the guy he chooses?  Sticking with him in spite of that.  Steady moves upward in class/speed.  Not a bad 3 YO guideline.

The days delayed trip here to S.FL. has brought sunshine...finally.  Great last race here at GP today...full field on the turf.

Have not looked at any figures yet, but I had written down that Carson Hall (9-GP) was MUCH the best in his last race at GP under the same conditions but got absolutely shut down on the rail and blocked in.  The 6 weeks off since is a little curious and this field may be a bit stronger even though it is under the same conditions, but if he stays near his 8-1 ML that would seem to offer some good value.

I agree and think Barclay has a good shot at a hat trick today.

this is a fine race. my key will be Pleasant Storm. 4 weeks removed from the 2 point top, a competitive figure here at the weights. looking for a \'4\' or \'5\' today. saves ground from the back in a race with a decent amount of pace, but McNeil is gonna have to work out the trip turning for home. 8-1 ml. also like Mission Impazible. fast 6f race last, bred to get 1m. nice post, 115 lbs, top jock. 6-1 ml ... Cool Bullet is a tough read coming off the buried figure on 3 weeks.

That\'s an interesting race, all right. Big chaos factor, though-- I think they use the short stretch at that distance, there will be major ground loss on both turns.

I\'m all over MI and PS in this one. A lot of speed signed up.

...They just canceled the remainder of the card.
