Tampa Bay Friday
 

Stick with the late P4 again.... Has the potential to blow up with 2 maiden races and an off the turf 16K affair

Race 7)
11 Twisted Rope 15-1 by Eddington – sharp with firsters out of a mare that won at 2.. gotta use if he draws in…
14 J'boy 6-1
5 Cuz You Know 4-1 - Birdstone out of a mare that won twice at 2
6 African Moon 6-1



Race 8)
3 On the Vineyard 2-1
5 Weslinn 6-1
6 Gentleman James 3-1


Race 9)
6 Devine Wonder 12-1
9 Tony Terrific 9-2
11 See Me Run 6-1
7 Dynagold 12-1

Race 10)
3 Ryan’s Pick 9-5
5 Worthy Honor 6-1
10 Burning Paris 20-1 Exits the same race as the favorite, just completely missed the break - gets the hood and Jane Cibelli takes over the duties with a nice gate breeze coming in - may get overlooked

It's been pouring since about 5:00am as a front pushes up from the south. Expect off the turf and muddy.

Sloppy / Off

That front is heading straight this way. Calling for 2 feet of snow in Roanoke starting around 4 this afternoon and into the morning.

Lucky!

I hated the long extended winters of Saratoga, but I would love for snow on Christmas. They are still not sure what we will get in Richmond, unfortunately last I looked at the weather it just like an icy sleeting mess.

Lucky my ass. I despise snow :)

Maybe Spanish Crayon in the nightcap.

Giant drop after being vanned off last out. Trainer lost, then reclaimed this horse, an angle I like. Shows a few works since the vanning off, the last one being fairly sharp. This animal obviously has physical problems, but at least someone, somewhere, thought something nice here, once upon a time. Reasonably bred for wet, which may just be something Spanish Crayon can use. In a field full of rats, maybe you could do worse than landing here.

IMO.

Now listed as Good / Off... gotta love racing on a beach.

Great point Ed. 49 for these is mighty quick and certainly the classiest bred of the bunch.

Going to take a few healthy runs at these Pick 4's, as I will not have time today to get involved race to race. (Fitty cent style, of course)

Here goes.
