Its not the norm for TAP to send horses to the Preakness.  I personally don\'t see him running any of his colts in the Preakness next Saturday.  

I would have to assume he realizes that Materiality gives him his best chance in the Belmont, so why run him back in 2 weeks, which is something else he rarely does.

Jim, thank you, as always, for posting and keeping the board up-to-date on what is going on.  Much respect for you and your eye.  In other words, I certainly respect and take it serious as to your observations.

Enjoy the day Saturday and take care!

Jim:

Thanks for cementing what I\'ve heard as well.

This certainly adds to those that stated the same thing the last 2 days that were at the track.  He doesn\'t look himself.  They stated washy look and has gotten hot the last 2 mornings.

Washed out was the term I heard from many an onlooker.

I\'m fairly new to the TG figs and such, but have gotten a much better grasp in terms of reading and interpretin the numbers and information given.

Let me play devils advocate with BB\'s numbers on 3 weeks rest, coming off a new top, relative to AP.

Due to the fact that AP was geared down, along with Victor\'s hands being essentially motionless the whole ride tells me that there is little chance of AP NOT moving forward off that trip.  I expect another new top.  

Fire away as I\'m failry new to this.

I apologize in advance, if its been pasted, but is there a link to see this work?  Please and thanks in advnace.

Where is the link to purchase the data for pre-derby?

JJ\'s dirt record at CD isn\'t stellar.

Funny, you bring this up Jim.  I was on the phone with a friend, Saturday after the Ark Derby, and we talked about this same thing.

We concluded the best way to attack, and I could be totally wrong, is playing supers and trying to find prices to play in the place, show and 4th slot.  Easier said than done, possibly.  

The p4\'s leading into the derby may be a good bet as well, with no Wise Dan in the mix as a strong single.

Just my thought as I start to weight my betting options.

Tavasco, I\'m tossing her completely.  If she beats, so be it.  Playing a P3 starting with that race.

No doubt, come on Wes, your smarter than that.  There will be a lot of pissed off connections if he doesn\'t run.

In watching replays he certainly is more comfortable outside of horses.  Doesn\'t like to be covered up either.

He was referring to Chitu, I believe.  More of a general statement.  Hooper looked the goods this morning, to me.  Very nice work.

Jim,  very insightful information.  On my way over to but the sheets as soon as I finish with my office work here.  Looking forward to JB\'s seminar on this as well!

Yes, Alpha was another, if memory serves me correct.
