Will you run both?

Absolutely..

Nice! Best of luck to the DT'ers and Mr. Pompa

That's great!!! But, with as frustrating as Cannon has been to train, why has Mott decided to run him? Is it to see where he is developmentally?

Pretty much. Wants to see how he responds with horses around him in competition. He should be fit, so it may be a wake up call to see if he'll compete when thrown in that setting.

You know, by the looks of it Ramon will be sitting all by himself in the jocks room (cough-cough).....................

Best of luck guys.

Yes!!!

If it comes off the turf, any reason why he wouldn't stay in the race?

No Lasix for TC? I don't think I'll bet him, but I like it !!!

Best of luck to both...

I see a DEE TEE exacta:$:

That's a very optimistic view...

Can we get any action on who wins straight up between the two on some betting site? :$:

I have been known to drink the kool aid:D

Always fun to dream and when you dream, go big! Pass me a glass...

Wow,:D

Been waiting for this since I bought a share in "the Cannon" back in early May.

Too bad it is the Wed before Thanksgiving, I want to come over to Aquaduct to see this, but I am afraid I will not get back home to Central NJ until Friday. The traffic is just brutal for me to get to Aquaduct most of the time and double on Holidays!!!!!

I will be watching and wagering :$:with my Dad in FL on his Twin Spires Account. :{>:

Good luck to all of us.

You really shouldn't have a problem going Wednesday at about 11 am. Coming home is a horse of a different color, probably right in the teeth of rush hour. But if TC should win, I'm sure you won't really mind the delay.

Pal is ready to run a big one..Good luck to all just hope Toy Cannon doesnt nose him out for the win photo

Just saw the morning line....TC is 12/1, MPOP is 15/1. Interesting.

100 ex box returns:

if rain...
 

will either scratch??

Hud,

We've been told both will run, even if the race comes off.

Rain has been pelting NYC and they will almost certainly be off Wednesday. We'll see about Pal. Gary may opt to SCR and look for another shot at turf before the racing office packs it in for the year. Can always come back on the dry main track at a sprint distance. Mott almost never come out of off turf races, but we'll wait for his decision too..

MY PAL OF PALS a scratch. Gary feels the main track is too messy and there remains a decent chance that there will be a little more turf racing next week. If we're going to run PAL on the main, let's do it on a fast, dry track and at whatever distance suits (6f-1m)..

TOY CANNON will run..

There goes my ex box.. rats

does he have a mud foot? or is he flat ?

whats the difference he is a shoe in

believe is a good decision to scr the Pal, we KNOW from debut he doesn't care much for the muddy stuff - best of luck to the DT Toy Cannon partners, safe trips to all!

opened 4-1...
 

and 4th choice in double...interesting!

boy he walked out of the gate, but looked to be making ground up late

Yeah, looked like he was flying at the end, but that break killed him.

Slow start. I agree - looked like a decent finish. He looks great ... that we know.

clockin feet in the rain
 

you are murdering the king's english.

A harmless debut and it's out of the way. As the guys noted above, poor start -- horse next to him was very fractious -- but got untracked late and finished with interest. Came back good. More tomorrow..

We might be looking back at this race as a KEY race. That was a salty group for November

Any update on how the Cannon is doing after last week's race?

Any word on how TC's doing? I noticed he hasn't worked since the race.

He's doing great. Is in Florida at the farm Paul Pompa uses and was gelded last week. Paul's vet/advisor thinks he will benefit from it tremendously. Will be staying on the farm into January before joining Mott's string at Payson Park to get ready for turf action in the spring in New York.

Anybody know how soon workouts could resume for Toy Cannon after gelding? I've been watching but haven't seen anything yet. Wasn't sure to expect weeks or months.

I was back to work on Monday after being gelded.
