Indeed SC. I think I\'m sticking with GP where my \"angles\" seem to work much better. I get crushed at FG.

Never hurts to look around however. With the Southwest being shifted to Sat this is a pretty big preliminary round for the 3YO.

The Padua/Albertrani horse that won by a pole at Tampa yesterday was originally going to go in the FOY. They found much softer there and probably felt like/were advised to do so after his previous work.

Which was a good one I might add.......

And those good GP races will presumably represent a large percentage of the races which are part of the first in a number of free contests offering numerous NHC qualifying spots to those who have paid the modest $100 fee it costs to join the Tour.

But that's not what prompted the post. Check your email the next couple of days, as it appears I'll be headed to the Sunshine State in the very near future.

You know a veteran backstretch observer advised that a certain trainers horses may not run as well after this current Gulf meet because of all the 24/7 attention to detail they are putting in.

The bandwagon is already pretty full but if you dont get on board then you might find its your pockets that are empty......
