Maybe I'm nuts, but I'm considering singling White Merlot in the 7th. If she runs anywhere close to her Azalea race, she drowns these. Perhaps Daddy's Honor with the Navarro juice can win too. I don't want Sealaunch or Island Bound.

I agree, White Merlot wins if she is ready, but I am including Island Bound, just in case the two layoff horses don't fire. Sealaunch wouldn't get a second look from me if Ness wasn't involved, but he is....

My ticket:

7 - 3,5,7
8 - 1,3,4,5,6
9 - 1,4,6,9
10 - 5,8

Pick-5
Selections: 1, 10/5, 7/5/1, 4, 6/5, 8

5 / 3,4,5,6 / 1,6,7,9 / 4,5,6

Ton of value in this late double if you can beat the 6.

10/4,5,6

Light rain all morning - track still listed as fast/firm @ 10:00am.

P5 / Late P4
 

Huge band of rain pushing in from the gulf should be parked over Oldsmar within an hour or 2... Expect the late races to come off and the track to get a little heavy

1st
$20 W 2

Yikes. Tough horse to make, especially on the lead.

Tough is putting it mildly.

Woah - Just say the replay..... Charlie Fontana off the schnide with Barbaro up - must have paid balloons - DD will pays are huge

race 2

$10 wp 2

Early 4 looks chalky:

3,4,7 / 2,4,7 / 6 / 1,3,4,6
3 / 7 / 6 / 1,4,6

Races 7 and 9 OFF; Main track - Good

Good call Joey. That could be the shortest P4 in Tampa history.

I hope you banged that second ticket a few times.

Main downgraded to Sloppy

R7
 

Ness is vulnerable here - 3-5 is waaaay to short for moving off the turf the 1,2,9 can all run here at nice prices

Argh. Wanted to play against him too but got shut out.

Nice call Dan.
