Bigs...you think Pick 4 is gonna be 6-9 or 7-10. It usually the latter on an 11 race card, right?

At least she'll be able to watch a multiple graded stakes winner dust her this time.

Seriously, WTF? If they're looking for a tune up, She won't get much from this bunch, and I can't believe ole' Barry needs the 14 G's this bad. Toss the two tire tries, add a sweet tightener 12/7 and it's had to imagine she breaks a sweat.

The 4th race is a brain cruncher. Do these top trainers usually show up?

Thoughts from the experts???

I think they are hoping for an easy confidence builder for her. If she doesn't crush these, it's off to the shed.

Probably a bit saltier than they had planned though. She will be pressured from the word go and she doesn't like to pass horses. It may set up nicely for Lil's Lassie or Orinoquia to catch them at the wire.

I thought at first glance that it would be a walk to the line for her, but digging in a bit - this is a tricky race.

Mayomast looks to me to be the real threat to her on the front end (and also looks to be the reason for the screwy condition) - the other speed is cutting back from route (save for Salty Wave who is doomed by the 11 post and would have to run back to last summer form to get involved) and don't see TMad, DDay, or PGem going sub 22/45. Possibly 3 distinct flights with the off pace runners having alot of work to do getting through late speed that won't come back to 'em.

I like your idea with Lil's Lassie, but I'm going to take a long look at Fotografica if I'm going to use an off the pace type. Very interesting race

Be interested to see how she takes to the sand. I see she's been stabled at Payson for the past month or so.

I am not so sure about it smoking them Hooves. Bigs tears this place up and it is the only place that GPK cashes a ticket....

Why is it that if I put time into FG, I might do well and putting that same time into Tampa, I won't? Is it possible that Tampa smokes you?

All things aside, I'd rather churn my money through Tampa's window than Magna's or CDI's.

BTW, this is Rudeboyelvis's documented P4 totals from last year. Anyone that can double his money over the course of a meet, is not getting 'smoked'.
