Steve, hope you're right on the Risen Star. Capped it last night and came up with the identical horses and basically same comments you did. 2-7-5 in it for me.

Just a couple of straight tri's for me in the Whirlaway: Peace Town-Haynesfield-Zooger and Haynesfield-Peace Town-Zooger

Magna 5



Leg A – Laurel race 9



1, 5, 6, 8

Not overly confident going 4 deep, but look for #6 Funny Book to run a big race.



Leg B – Santa Anita 4th



4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10



In a race difficult to gauge I’m tossing two logical horses Cantankerous Clyde (barn is ice cold) and Great Legacy
(Pedigree doesn’t exactly scream 5/12 furlongs, despite eye catching workouts). Interested to see Rosario land on Machowsky first-timer Dixie Passion, and think long-shot New York Baby could be ready at first asking.



Leg C – Gulfstream 9th



3, 6, 10

Most of the major players drew unfavorable outside posts, but 4 scratches this morning make it less problematic. Assuming Jet Propulsion and the Dutrow horse assure a more than honest pace.



Leg D – Golden Gate 4th

10

Plenty of speed here, and looking for Russell Baze to give Saipan a perfect stalking trip and mow them down late. Just missed the photo finish in last race with the exact same conditions.



Leg E – Santa Anita 5th



6

Insane to single a horse that’s 1 for 12, but there’s not a horse in the race that’s in even remotely good form (other than Raise Again who just beat a weak field to break his maiden). Banking on the big class drop, solid connections, good workout pattern and history running against much, much tougher than these.

At Fairgrounds, I think Secret Getaway is a viable alternative to the two big faves here in the 6th. I don't think we know where his ceiling is yet. 8-1 overlay(?) is good enough for me

I hope to get half my money back.

I switched over to Gulfstream.. Has Peacetown finished the Whirlaway yet ?

They are hammering away on Diamond Tycoon here in the 7th.

Is the timing wrong on the turf course at Fair Grounds or is the course just complete garbage? I mean really. That's horrendous.

It used to last until March before turning completely to sand. Guess there wasn't enough rain this season. Seriously, do they never water the course down there or what? It's the same thing every year. Horses get more dirt kicked in their face on turf at FG than on dirt.

Churchill just sucks ass. That's all there is to it.

Indygo Mountain is getting pounded like Jenna Jameson. Pass.

Edit: Glad I did. That horse is gutless.

Chalkfest today, Coach. Couldn't get a price anywhere.
