1/16: Santa Anita (C/O); Gulfstream (P4)
 

Took a thorough beating attempting $100k Santa Anita carryover Thursday, and have promptly given back most of the year's early gains. Sequence was tough to begin with, but impossible Han Moon winner on the downhill ensured another kick at the can for all of us today. Expect pool to swell towards $3,000,000 with Aqueduct dark due to the newly arrived ice age.

Gulfstream Late P4 was going to be the focus Friday before the Arcadia carry arrived Wednesday, so that quad is included in the looks below. Would like to snap out of small funk today with big weekend on the horizon. Hope you survived Thursday!

I really think #1 Kaptain Kordough is a single in Race 6 - Check out his last race and you'll see why. Was absolutely loaded and had no where to go. A clean trip and it's picture time.

Agree #1 looks tough, I kinda fear BK's Flicker of Light on the outside...this gal will love going long and has tactical speed. Do not like the other filly in this race. Both of them taking on the boys...interesting.

Elusive Chief is a single in the 4th

what a bone head ride on Our Anastacia...that cost me some $

Chantal just ****ed up that ride on the Gaines horse BAD........So far the worst ride I have seen this year

Talamo's ride on Bandcamp wasn't much better. What is he 6 wide at the apex of the turn? Who isn't gunna flatten out doing that? Just one race earlier, he put in a perfect ride to beat the horse you're talking about. As far as the turf racing there goes, they have to get those fkn rails back in. That is sick. Stubborn bitches gotta get them rails back in, or just run on the main.

Nailed this one..which got me the pk4....still hate that I missed a well paying pk6 where logical horses came in

Scavs, is Abrams running Lethal Heat this Sunday, or next week in the Sunshine Millions(or both....?)
