Hey Cove,

Send that guy. Nel boca di lupo.

Don\'t you worry, he will be on the lead for as long as he can take them.

Tough race and tough post but I hope he can be competitive with these so we have something to build on going forward.

Right, the #2, #3, and #6 look like they could be up there early with him: J.J. has to slow it down. A little worried about his last though, he didn\'t get a breather and ran fast early and late. Good to see JJ went with you and not the Prince. CK seems to be holding his form since the Jamaica and may have a fitness edge on the ones you have to worry about. All the best.

Cove Good Luck here. Willi be pulling and maybe even wagering a little on him. This is a wide open race.

Covel:

Good luck with the new acquisition at FG also.

Gotta do something to change your luck/Karma -- you enter 2, get the outside post
in each race and draw a BC winner in each.

Richie, only other things that could go wrong did. The filly had a mild tie up on Friday so we scratched her last minute. She was acting perfectly on sat but he literally got the blood work back on her to show she had tied up while the horses were in the paddock so we pulled her out. She was back on the track today and she\'s fine but that wasn\'t fun.

Then for citrus, we got a 4w, 3w, 4w ride from a jock that I think is usually quite good on the turf.

Only good news with citrus is that if Jerry sees the race the same as beyer, he will get a big new top figure and he should be competitive in so e real races later this year with that kind of number.

Covelj70,
Do you think CK would have been closer if he\'d gone to the lead?
I\'ve watched the race several times and it\'s my opinion yes. I strongly feel the horse was never comfortable.

I think so. If for no other reason than he would have saved a lot of ground, he should have been on the lead. That\'s the style he prefers. That said, I think this will be his biggest figure race by a good margin so maybe he\'s better from just off it.
