Tampa Derby.

If I\'m not mistaken, Tale of Ekati had the exact same line as Hello Broadway. Anyone?

The 3 TA horses had the benefit of a relatively slow pace for the day in their last, and are facing faster horses today; I\'m throwing them out.  This is the day for Zito\'s horse to move up and the race sets up perfectly for WR if he has the goods; we\'ll find out today.

Halo,

You are 100% correct in that Hello Broadway has the same pattern as Tale of Ekati last year at this time (also trained by Tagg).  Except that Tale of Ekati was running 5\'s, instead of 4\'s.

BTW,

While I understand why the ROTW suggests the play they do, I think this will be chalky.  Hello Broadway\'s last race was better than it appeared and he moves forward.  THe horse is better with a target, got stuck down on the rail in a speed duel, was passed by Captain Candyman can easily early in the stretch but was coming back at the wire.  To me, a perfect conditioning race first time out.  The pair up is fine, and I am not holding what looks like a stagnant line against him because I am not convinced the one race is a sign that he didn\'t develop from 2 to 3.  Expect him to improve around two turns, like Nobizlikeshobiz, and be very very tough tomorrow, unfortunately at a short price.

He will be tough. The extra rest after the Hutch then the tighten the screws training tab thereafter should have him set.

The play is a Stakes Pick 3 and spreading heavily in the Turf race.

A WIDE open affair

Expecting another moveup on Warriors Reward with 2nd lasix.Legit to hot pace should favor his style here if he takes to Montalvo and the surface.Can\'t argue with Hello Broadway,but he\'s too short a price for me on this goofy strip.

What\'s Prado\'s deal? He was off his mounts last Saturday.Today he\'s off Hello Broadway-off Giant Oak and shows up at the Fairgrounds with no ride in the La Derby.Dry Martini and Nownownow look live in those other FG races,but you\'d figure he\'d be on a 3yo somewhere.

[covelj70]

and they both have the same patten that Nobiz had a few years ago but he was all \"3s\"

Tagg gets em going right away and can keep them at that level but they don\'t improve until later as a 3 yr old or 4 yr old.

[jimbo66]

Watch today.

If he runs another \"4\" today, or something worse, then I will concede he has no development.

But when he jumps up to the 0 or 1 level, he becomes a very solid derby candidate.
