Race #1 - Competitive race #5 Orbit Rain, fav #1 River Boyne.  Curious about #7 Pali High who\'s a half to Dunkrik, #8 Erotic and #9 Fengari all within 1 point.

pk5 - 1,5,7,8,9/3,6,12/6/2,3,4,8,10,14/8

Race 2 - #6 Desolation Sound looks like a play for Sadler

Granted the two Baffy horses in the 3rd race are both logical but Giant Expectations could be in the mix 1st off the layoff at a price.  That Pat Obrien effort is good enough to win this if Collected gets pressured early (Accelerate?)

Race 5 - Fav #8 Spectre Bond looks strong but I\'m also going to use a bit of #6 Baby Bear\'s Soup.  Could also use #13 Well Measured underneath if that one gets in.

FG Race #8 - #5 Will Call - paired 6\'s and goes first turf which he\'s breed for.

Best of luck.

Happy Holidays all and thank you Jerry for the free TG\'s.  Off all week, hope to put them to good use.  T.

Going to steal a line from Ed DeRosa; \" Juggling multiple entries is strategy; conspiring with another person is collusion.\"  I can understand why some in the contest are upset but we all use information from many different sources to come up with our bets.  In this case, the guy still came up with the winning bet.

Strictly a sheet read, I won\'t be playing the guessing game on which Baffy gets the EPO, maybe they all do.  West Coast has improved 7 points this year.  Normally I like pair ups but hard to see him jumping forward again another 3 points.

Unless the BC some how has a test for EPO, then it\'s a mute point.  T.

The race of the week is a great way to see how the numbers can be interrupted.  Same figure can create several different opinions.  Normally I would be at CD tomorrow but too much to do tomorrow.  I will be at Kee for the big day Oct. 7th.  If you would like to send me a p to p email, I will be happy to meet up before the races and discuss the card using TG.  I\'m no expert but can talk you through pair ups and recovery cycles.  Best of luck until then.  T.

#3 Tequilita is a scratch, headed to CT.

You just hit the nail on the head.  Navarro is the joke but Baffy is a genius.  

I had a discussion with someone involved with the BC about Baffy and clearly the industry\'s blind eye to his program.  The response I got was that the industry is terrified of the public\'s response to any scandal involving Baffy or another super-trainer.  Therefore the industry refuses to impose any penalty that would imply impropriety on his of their part.  Sad but true.

Sorry I missed you on Travers day Frank.  All the best.  T.

Or he\'s off his meds!  Everyone\'s Personal Opinion.

Hard to believe that Malcolm Pierce a trainer for 20 years with roughly 20% win rate each year wasn\'t as smart as D\'Amato.

Just for giggles can TG post the sheet for Ransom the Moon?  Top of 7 as a 4-year old this past December and then moved to Mr. D\'Amato.  Must have been the shoes, right?  Wow, coast to coast this weekend Navarro and D\'Amato.  People wonder why it\'s nearly impossible to create new fans.

The Bowling Green came up very weak!  I have a slightly different take in that I don\'t like the jump ups of Closing Bell and Sadler\'s Joy (also has to run back to that number off the layoff).  I like Hello Don Julio in this one for similar reasons.  Should be on the pace and also get weight.  Returned to his 4-year old top and regressed only a point winning his last race.  Best of luck.

Yikes.

Looks like Maggie\'s twitter account has been deleted.  Don\'t know the reason, just the rumors but it\'s a loss to anyone who followed her.

In the zone or EPO?
