saturday observations

[richiebee]

1) AQ Inner Tube: Bank Audit, like Ojibway
 a few days ago, absolutely void of gate
 speed on the switch from G. Martin to
 F. LaBocetta.

2) Huge mutuels at AQ on races that most
 horseplayers find uninspiring, puny
 mutuels at GP on races that were won by
 horses that will hopefully be running
 in important races over the summer.

3) IMO poor job by GP racing secretary/
 racing office filling out the fields
 in these stakes races, considering the
 amount of horseflesh at their disposal
 (Palm, Calder, GP). Think of the hit
 they take handle-wise especially in
 exotics. Blame Sunshine Million races?

4) Interesting 3YO year. Right now
 faves would be Sweet Cat and Declan,
 neither of whom is trained by a
 man with much Triple Crown
 expertise. Baffert/ Zito/ Lukas?
 Is there a new world order?        
 

5) With regards to IEAH, do they get an
 Eclipse for largest farm bill? If you
 look at their website, it seems like their
 stock is rehabbing all over the country.
