1/2: Aqueduct/Santa Anita (C/O's)
 

Perfect Jan.2 entertainment early and late!

1/2: Aqueduct/Santa Anita (C/O's)
 

Carryovers in New York ($30k) and Arcadia ($143k) Friday, with the Santa Anita string looking far more playable with two potential singles. Big A races are brutally tough, at least to me, and the Late P4 may be the more prudent approach there.

Returned home Thursday from a very pleasant 9 days away. Hope you had a super Holiday Season, and are ready for a great '09...

Steve,

Welcome back and Happy New Year. I hope you had a nice and relaxing vacation.

I think Tapits Brew is # 8 not #9, probably not a big deal as he is the outside horse in the field.

HH

HH,

Thx re HNY greetings.. Had an especially nice week plus. And Tapit's Brew indeed the 8.. (Was working with numberless early PP's.. 9 horse field but with entry).

Good luck today!

Welcome back to work and these great Northeast winters :mad: just don't get a cold from the temperature change.

Steve,

I too, am singling Victorina. Wasn't sure what to make of Bejarano jumping off FRANKEL'S Double Trouble(her Bayoaka run wasn't all too bad), whether that was the trainer or jockey's agent decision. She (V) hit major trouble in her last at the top of the stretch and would have won IMO had she not. Looking for her to take control on the turn for home and kicking away.

Best of luck to you today!

Good Luck!

Don't take this 2 down. FFS

I agree, it would be a great way to start the PK4 off. Didn't look like there was enough to take him down regardless...

Hell yeah!!

Good luck to you guys!

Nice!

Hope 'guido' was watching as Andy played against all the short numbers and lauded the winner... I kind of thought he was coming down, but the contact really didn't seem to affect the runner up and he held his path well. Good start to the 4 guys.

I'll be anxious to see if the serial steward bashers come out and say 'Good no call'...
