What do they do with this one?

Sit and wait for the Florida Derby? This was a total non-fire on Sat and spacing between now and say the Wood is bad.

Levine is something like 20+% over the last 5 years, probably closer to 30% at NY and Mth over the last 2-3. He\'s 4% lifetime at GP.

It must be the shoes.

JB- How many horses has Levine run at Gulf, and what kind of runners does he ship there?  I am not defending him, but the barn raid at Monmouth turned up nothing.  He is a NY based claiming trainer, I assume sends few stakes caliber horses South hoping to get new owners, and prove himself as not just a claiming trainer.  As far as I know this is the first winter he himself is actually based there.  You know more than I that is for sure, but to me it just doesn\'t add up.  All I see is, he puts them where they can win.

The Mth raid tested for exactly one drug, EPO. And don\'t get me started on \"testing\" again.

By memory (looking at the FOY sheets) it\'s around 80+ starts at GP. And the huge jump-ups at Mth had nothing to do with placement.
