Tracks have nothing to do with it, he said, and if anything the polytrack is now an added incentive to come out here and roll the dice. I think I'll take his word on it.
Yeah, Super Frolic, Magnum, Ace Blue and Preachinatthebar are superstars.

I know... he's like Silverfoot to me.

I loved Silver Charm too... (he was fast, though.) LOL

That's the best you could come up with? I thought you were actually a follower of the game. Now I can see that can't be the case...

Of course you omit, Brother Derek, T.H. Approval, King's Drama, Seek Gold, Perfect Drift and Giacomo, who, while not superstars, are Grade 1 winners vanquished by Lava Man during his 2006 California Campaign.

The defense rests. If you think any East Coast trainers aren't shipping out there because they're scared of facing that crew, plus the four I mentioned.. Ugh..

That's some scary contingency.

I got frightened just reading their names.

I tossed him after I realized the "B" wouldn't be in his running line for this race.

The fact is that they don't ship and try very often. I still say if it was that easy they would be in on Friday and out on Sunday.

I never said it was easy. My point is it's the surface, not the competition, that the East Coast trainers are leery of.

I have a feeling with the sythetic surfaces we will see more east coast horses going west for the big purse races. It just makes no sense to send them out to the dirt tracks now and risk injury.

Too many guys that I have too much respect for, guys like Mandella, Drysdale, McAnally....are based in California. If the tracks were really that unsafe and dangerous, I don't think they would be here.
