I know it is opening day but that is a hell of a card compared to last year Gulfstream. Gonna wait and see what Wednesday/Thursdays will look like but that is a great start, compared to last years debacle of a race meet

Went with Now a Victor over Fearless Vision and National Pride.

Notonthesamepage is going to be tough to beat.

Notonthesamepage earned a 115 BSF.

Thats already better than any 3yo last year and thats only 3 days into the 3yo season.

Delightful Kiss/Hal's Hope
 

I just got around to watching Delightful Kiss win the Hal's Hope on Saturday. Definitely my favorite current horse! Falls 18 lengths back in a 1 mile race, sweeps 8-wide into the stretch (AT LEAST! Has Borel ever been that far from the rail?), and wins by 3 lengths. Left me laughing.
