Terrific Storm. Lot's to love about this one. Loaded with back class from late '07. Gets my man Leparoooo and Tr. by M. Maker J/T combo clicking at 32% in '07/'08 and 18% at the Spa w/ ROI @ $2.90. Beat Jr. Colege in 11/07. On 4/30/08 was just 3 1/2 L's back of Corrupt,A P Excellant and Jazz Quest. On 7/3/08 was 4 3/4 back w/ Petion Station and Dominican (who won next out). Concerned that he drops below his clmg. price and racing in a 35K claimer after running in a long series of 80 + 100K OC's throws up a red flag that the Ramseys might just be looking to just get rid of him due to some serious ailments. I think this either wins going away or has a major problem and is off the board. 12/1 ML. Anything near that would seem to me to be exceptional value 5 or 6/1 would be good enough for me. I'll toss $10 on his nose that he's a gamer...if he's off the board I'll be more aware next time that owners don't "giveaway" horses without good reason.
