Zenyatta just made my weekend. Not sure GP brought her A-game but Zenyatta is indeed a monster.

i bet her but not make my weekend money, my weekend was crushed by the late pick 3 at keenland

Tiago noses Heatseeker for the win. Reporting For Duty third beaten a pole. That combined with Zenyattas romp and I guess we can bury the absurd idea that synthetic to dirt is an automatic bad play.

When did synthetic to dirt become an instant toss? I had real reasons why I didn't like Zenyatta on dirt and I bet Heatseeker to win. Anybody using your toss is a fool.

I don't think you can use Tiago as an example here, as he's had plenty of experience on the dirt tracks while on the Triple Crown trail.

Who said this, I think this is a HUGE advantage for the synthetic horses.

Horses that train over the synthetic seems to get alot from it, and when they get to these dirt courses, it is like running over pavement. I expect to use this angle heavily early in the Churchill meet coming up

Horses that train on synthetic WITH STAMINA BUILDING moves 'get a lot from it'... Note that Tom because the standard half mile moves DON'T GET IT DONE..

Nice gritty win by Tiago today in the Oaklawn Handicap.. Interesting ride tho by Bridgmohan on Reporting for Duty who finished 3rd...
