San Fernando:

Booted!!

does Biancone normally out-do Headley in the A.M.?

-in reference to Nownownow's worktab

love the booted / el gato malo exacta!!!!

Love this horse but I dont like the 2 week from last race angle.

Booted looks too slow, and likely overbet.

he works em quick enough

Okay, why is this n2x filly race a G2 stakes? Since when is it as important or historic as the storied Suburban Hcp or the Arkansas Derby? Race grades are fast becoming a joke.

have any good horses won this race, say in the last ten years, did they prove themselves as grade 2 horses over time? You know that races are pre-graded so looking at todays field and commenting on the grade is useless.

Yeah the 2 weeks is quick, but with a trainer like Mandella that in no way shape or form, rushes his horses, he must really think he is ready! I just loved this horse when they got him and I expect big things from him.

I also expect big things from him in the future however Mandella is probably using the San Fernando as a gauge to see how he does well with stakes caliber horses and probably not expecting a win this time. He WILL have this horse fit and ready for the SA Handicap though and then I will be all over him.

he is running him because the owner told him to, that is a fact.

Does anyone have a heads up on whether Fiesty Suances will go at SA or GG ?

Why do u say that?

best indication i had that he's going to SA is that drf expects him to set the pace in the rafeal...

If a great horse wins a non-graded stakes early on in his career or first off the layoff, does that mean the race is has improved? This is a prep race, a stepping-stone race, and a restricted one (fillies, 3yos) at that. Proverbially, a camel is a horse put together by committee and our race grading process is cobbled together in a similar fashion.

Scratched down to 5... :mad: Pretty much becomes a waste of a graded stakes. Once again race fans getting the short end of it.

7 Charlie's Moment Rosario J 116 L
8 Feisty Suances Flores D R 116 L

because Mandella wanted to wait, the owner wants to run

yea, was an intriguing betting race, now....not so much

That seems right cause Mandella does not seem the type to run off just 2 weeks rest.
