Thanks Bigs
 

Played your p3 on thursday and picked up a 100 and something! Thanks Brother!!!!

Bigs is the sh*t at TBD.:cool:

You know it!
 

Guys can't say thanks enough between Steve and you boys l got the mojo on my side!!!!

How many $54 Pick 4's does Mr. Big hit on a daily basis? Just curious. And $100 something for a pick 3 ain't exactly breaking the bank.

I missed where Gilbert said he broke the bank.

And I'm curious as to how long you'll be waiting for someone to email those Friday Tampa pps to ya? The ones you wanna lift off somebody else's dime.

Bigs, I hope your selections hit well today, keep your pps close to the vest. You don't need quips like this directed towards you. No player does.

Turf?
 

turf today at tbd or no?

Another dbag in the house.

Off the turf.

Thanks Grits, unfortunately they are off the turf today. No time to re-'cap for the dirt. Damn work getting in the way.

Tampa Friday
 

bigsmc I like your picks for the pick 4. I was wondering what you thought of FORTYFIVE N CHANGE in the 8th race? The last time he raced at Tampa was about a year ago and it was on turf and the distance was much longer then today's. However he performed well closing late, and is taking his blinkers off. His most recent race at Keeneland was dismal considering he had the 1 post which I believe hurt him in that case, but I think he will perform much better today out of the 4 post. Any thoughts?

Toughest race of the sequence.

Took a long look at 45 N Change. Freddie Hyatt's firsters and horses coming off layoffs have looked sensational physically this meet. He has enjoyed a nice meet with limited starters. Notice where his horses train, Hyt stands for Hyatt. He trains them on the farm so nobody gets a good look at them. That Tampa race was super considering he was going 8.5f at first asking. The only reason I left him off is that his best races have been on the grass and he hasn't been on the dirt yet. If you like him, go for it. I had to take a stand against to keep the ticket from getting to big. I really think that unless one of the firsters shows some early lick, that the 7 - Cloud King may run away and hide from them.
