I do like Tepin in the San Clemente. Her first race was clearly a prep, and her turf debut I don't think was as bad as it seems. Half to Vyjack, make of that what you will, but her full brother is a turf winner so at a big price I'm willing to give her another shot on the surface as she comes in firing away in the mornings in a race with vulnerable favs.

Good call, horse ran well.

Gotta have speed on both turf and dirt, they just are not coming back like you would expect.

$17.20 to place...I should have at least gone 50 WP instead of 100 straight to win in the DMTC contest
