Default Tontine Too

Races in the 3rd race at HWD on Saturday.I have been waiting for his return.Evidently had a mid July to mid September setback,but has been working every week since(yes, Zucker likes the slow works..that's how he gets 47/1 1st time out winners.)This horse is an outstanding competitor.Zucker adores this horse,and is extra careful with him.This barn is also looking to win with one of these maiden price horses they send out.They came fairly close with a bomb in the last today(Golden Playgirl ran a good 4th.)

Completely agree on Tontine Too. The horse has some heart and then some. Always nice to know in advance that a horse won't back down from a dogfight.

Looking forward to his return.

Broke and Trained him in his early years Cant remember off the top of my head what sale we sold him at March OBS I believe. He did not get by me First time out at 47/1. Although i Did not make a hug bet, I was surprised he was such a big price. THis colt always Showed alot of promise in his early years. So I am glad to see he has made it back to the races.

Well,Zucker always goes out of his way to find the most competitive maiden race he can find.Then,he shows up with very slow works,and gets the most under the radar jock he can get.That's how they get those big payoffs.This owner( and Zucker ) did the same thing with Honor Grades.I remember some big favorite ran his race(I think a Baffert horse,) but couldn't quite match Honor Grades.No big price on Tontine Too on Saturday,but I think Zucker will bring a big bomb in soon at the meet.It isn't like they aren't trying.These bombs he is running are almost all making nice efforts.Many are leading mid-race etc. at a big #.Wait for the straight maiden full field race.He might even put one in that showed nothing 1st out,and of course has no good works.Voila.
