Steve-

Agree with you on Lake Placid in the 3rd. . . Bred very well for turf on both sides and Matz has already had one 2yo winner in a turf sprint this meet. . . I don't see getting the 8-1 ML, however. . . Footloose Man also looks decent. . .

[hockey2315]

Guess not. . . It didn't look like Edgar ever really got into him. . .

Hooves - can't make any excuses for the 1 not firing...Coa said he held her because he was sure that the 9 was coming back to him....told the stupid son of a bitc$ to let her go and see what she had going from the rail.....can't understand how you let a horse get 6 lengths on ya in a god@#mn 5.5f mdn race...jock error as far as I can see...love the horse but 6 times now post time fav...the one time I don't bet her she wins I'm sure
