Default Joppa Flats in the 5th

Watch out for Joppa Flats in the 5th... I've been following this horse for a while, 1st turf is a ?, but he's been trying to close on the dirt against major rail/speed biases in last 2 (aqu and gulf).. most importantly, I won't be able to play him today, that's when all my watch horses run their best!

Default Agreed...Joppa Flats

Interesting to see main Wilkes jock (Castellano) move to the 1st time turfer with a few excuses in his last few races.

JD,

You think Wilkes reaching for JV 'first ever together' an angle here? Found this event utterly confounding... Wilkes' gelding ran like turf router in dirt sprints, and exits events against some serious sophs... Wilkes and Ribaudo have been equally inept with grass-goers, as is Nick (#1 & #10), making the D2T movers even harder to read..

We'll analyze this all day and then watch Bill Cesare & Ray Fuentes win at 58-1.. (and on that topic, note that Cesare's Big Diesel is the lone entrant in the field as drawn that has gone 9f on any surface... and had four 1 mile works between 12/12-1/15!)

Steve,

I am as confounded as you. I know these guys (Wilkes and Nafzger) to be pretty darn loyal to a few jocks for an entire meet....and in Florida that seems to always be Castellano, Castro and Cruz, so I don't know what to make of it. Also, the B. Lynch horse looks the type that may be all right.....and then find his way to Frankel's barn!!
