Pretty funny.

Everyone should check out the Red Board room. As bad as Trouble Kid\'s move-up was, his horse in the last was even worse. I hadn\'t looked at that race until I was out there. And by the way, that allowance race, also 3yos, went a second faster than the Gallant Bob.

Fig and TPattern had him as must use.

I\'m not going to pretend to be an expert on pre-race body language and such. But I was 2 feet from the walking ring and Iron Fist was an absolute mess. Amazing that he ran so well.

Nice middle (and wide) move by Tommy Macho. One to watch.


Good Luck,

Both horses were vet scratches for their prior trainer and then changed hands.
Would be interesting to see how many times this has happened out of all the move ups. An obvious physical problem corrected plus his secret sauce makes for a potent formula for sure.  One thing, he is not telling and Parx is not holding a press conference to inquire. Most of us would agree either way it is not good for the game.

Okay. So the other move-up horse from the same barn that ran on Pa Derby day came back on short rest. You\'ll see he ran okay.

People tell me I\'m paranoid about this stuff. Paranoids have enemies too.

You\'re not paranoid...the figs are the figs...\"res ipsa loquitur\".
Besides...there is a saying \"Just because your paranoid doesn\'t mean that they are not out to get you\"!
