TGJB: We have to get past the Dubai craziness before I can focus on that. Probably won\'t decide until late tonight or tomorrow.

girly: Why not a Dubai Race?

TGJB: Because the races go off in the middle of the night California time. You gotta be a farmer to watch them out there.

girly: I didn\'t think about that- I\'m gonna be up early on Sat. to see all the action!
I\'m sure whatever you decide will be an interesting handicapping race.

Favorite Trick: Florida Derby please. Wide open race.Would be nice to see your thoughts on it.

TGJB: You tell me how fast that South American is, and I\'ll tell you who to bet. He\'s a North American bred, which means that last year he was a 2yo running against 3yos-- at 1 1/4 and 1 1/2-- and killing them.

firmturf: I can\'t get excited about him.

His trainers stats tell me to not use him. The trainer has 5 wins in the last year:

Mcl 10,000 at Ind
4000clm @ Elp
5000clm @ RD
Alw race at Mnr
Maiden race at Mnr

The last Group I winner he had from Peru ran up the track in a non graded event. His Group 3 Peru winner ran up the track at Lone Star.

Now this guy gets the keys to the \"Peru Woner Horse\"?

No thanks!

Favorite Trick: What happen to Majestic Warrior?Looked so good at the Spa but the wheels have completed came off.To fast to early or was he really never that fast?

fkach: Majestic Warrior got hurt last year. IMO, he was rushed into a pretty tough spot for his 3YO debut coming off an inury, but he ran a lot better than it looks. Watch the race. He was very wide most of the race but made a move past horses like a very superior animal before he tired badly. He was probably very short. I think he either moves forward a lot or the wheels fall off. The outside post is not going to help.

Silver Charm: I think the problem with this horse is his wheels are coming off.

Literally

Taggs horse might be tough in here

RICH: Taggs horse has a big 4 pt top last out, You have the big number horses at 8,9,12 and you got the inside, a tad slower Smooth Air, working very well over that deep calder track, with this race in mind. I like the pattern, the post and the plan.

jbelfior: Tagg\'s horse will be tough. One has to assume he won\'t bounce considering the spacing and solid workout pattern.

Would not put a dime on FIERCE WIND. That\'s 2 drifts in a row. Was lucky to win last since BIG TRUCK has no turn move. The other colt out of that race may improve tomorrow at a price. Nice inside post, stamina building works. SMOOTH AIR had to alter course when Zito\'s colt bore out @ Tampa. Not a bad use in the exotics.



Good Luck,
Joe B.

jbelfior: Rich:

You reading my mind??


Connections had this race circled since November. Florida bred and owned. Would make a nice trophy in their Florida home.


Good Luck,
Joe B.

drbillym: Tagg parlay-5th today at GP and Elysium tomorrow
