12/12 Tampa Pick 4
 

PP's drop later today. Just getting a head start on things:)

:rolleyes:




Can't wait for that first 3 out of 4, eh Pops? :D

Damn right!! The losses will just cost less now :D

:tro: :tro:

a No Ness opening day - hmph....

I don't have my computer in front of me, but I thought he had 1 in. Maybe in the 9th?

Edit: I see he's on the AE list

Yeah Kev, he's only got an AE in the Stake race - he's usually good for 2-3 wins on opening day

no ziadie or ness, whats this world coming to? The bennets must be having a party!

We won't be seeing and KZ this meet from what I understand:tro:

Early P4 races 3-6
Late P4 races 8-11

:cool:

OMG:eek:

:tro: :tro:

No Wasiluk = No Auto tosses:(

Oh Boy

On the bright side I'm glad to see Dale Bennett here, I had heard rumors he was staying in Chicago.

The auto toss/ auto include angle is going to be suspect this meeting if the opening day card is any indication of who's going to field their expected stables here - a ton of new faces on the backside, while guys/gals that usually show up with large stables of auto-tosses (Wasulik, Paquete, Fontana) conspicuously absent from opening day.

On the other side, Ziadie denied stalls, and a very watchful eye on the Ness operation may take a dent out of the number of auto-includes.

Hopefully we'll still get our 50+ Janet Del Castillio runners. And our Regina Sealock mounts. ;)

where is Faine?

Don't recall seeing him last meet either, unless he was riding in the morning trying to pick up mounts

Some of my best Craig Faine memories are of watching Exacta Bob melt down as he rips up his tickets.

Bigs, "You actually used Faine."
Exacta Bob, "Yeah, I used him. #&5#*@, &%$#^%&*&, &^&%$#@, I'll never learn."

can someone give me the back story on ol kirk?


also see that elvis is riding for ward on opening day... awesome, thats all i need to do now, use EVERY single ward horse in EVERY sprint they're in.

one gripe i do have, why 2 races after the feature, i hate that sh!t. that allowance should be before the feature and as usual in keeping the fine tradition of the MC finale where dreams are made and broken all at the same time.

Any reason why Centeno sits aboard 20-1 AE, while Phil Teator get the Linda Rice handoff in this turf sprint? Agree w/ BT with Easy Ashley - should be a walk, but you'd think Joan Scott would have a little more stroke than that
