Just saying that the performance wasn't fake.

Hedgefund Investor and Crimson Comic are nothing if not fast for 4 furlongs.

Default "His father was a mudder his mother was a mudder"

#12 Big Brown (Boundary) crushed a field of 5 horse as the favorite with a sloppy track. Boudary is a very good sire of mudders. Won't be at a price I will take.

He'll seem 'em all as he goes to or near the lead but the rail is the place to be going 1 1/8th at Gulfstream.

#1 Fierce Wind- has been working quick.
#2 Smooth Air - 2nd try going a route, has never been off the board.

#4 Tomcito - could be a fly in the ointment

#8 Elysium Fields - another one that has never been off the board. Has experience at the distance, at the track and was on the outside last time.

#10 Majestic Warrior - just because Bellamy Road is mentioned in the thread and he owes me, if I can get 12-1 I'll put some saver money on him.

#11 Face The Cat - like Curlin, previously trained by Helen Pitts angle? too far out for a win but could hit the board.


Right now I am thinking about keying Smooth Air.

2 w/ 1,4,8,10 w/11

$4 investment

(last time I saved money it cost me half of $3,200)

good luck

It was not a sloppy track.




Tomicito was actually the 68th most expensive of 68 Street Cry yearlings to sell at auction Internationally in 2006.

A few Street Cry's that sold dirt cheap in Aussie land gave him a run for his money for the blacksheep title.

There have been a few other blacksheeps that have done ok though.

Da Hoss was actually the cheapest of 23 Gone West yearlings to sell at auction when he was a yearling.

City Zip was the 30th most expensive of 31 Carson City yearlings to sell that year.

Da Hoss selling for 6K and City Zip for 9K.

There might be more - I just don't remember them.

I should have looked past the circled x. I saw Boundary and figured he excelled on an off track.

Very nice auction info. Tomcito is an unknown. I could assume that he won't be part of the pace, won't get in Big Brown's way. Most foreign horses aren't conditioned for speed- by US standards.

Well, I am going to be an early jumper and jump on the Tomicito train.. Love the 12-1 (will be higher) odds and am hoping he emerges with a victory this afternoon. The way this year has gone so far.. Why not? May be getting a bit desperate, but what the hey

This little trend seems to have continued.
