anybody watching Hol?

[Michael D.]

a bunch of distance challenged horses running in the 2 yr old stakes race (8th).
i might take a shot with a longshot, northern mischief (12-1 ml). seems to be moving in the right direction. mcanally has had a month to prepeare NM for this, has a few nice works..... hoping for a \"2\" point jump to the \"8\" lvl, which could make her competitive at the weights (gets 6). i think the baffert horse will be tough as well. not sure the extra distance is what she wants, but if she can repeat her last, she will be tough at the weights. island escape needs a big jump to be competitive, might might come running late for a share...
  (did i just see shockey catch two passes in a row without a drop, one for a touchdown?)

well, my 12-1 longshot opens at 2-1, and stevens is three lbs over. think i will just watch this one.

I don\'t follow those circuits much other than the marquee events. Come derby day if you can tell us the best of the west, I\'ll offer the east coast horse I think most likely. Seems the best West Coasters come east now for the final preps.

i\'m just sitting here watching football, so i keep youbet.com on and watch the late races. i\'m not a huge fan of cal racing. brilliant ride by baze in the stakes race, just waited and picked off the dying speed. i liked the  baffert winner, but 2-1 was a bit short in my book, and 3-1 was way too short on the 7.
