Thanks Kev. Both our heroes look like short prices this week, especially Placido. But at least he likes to win races. Speedjama still has only 2 wins to his credit, and a lot of losses to go with that.

Placido won't be too short a price. Lox and Kippers is bound to take tons of money.

8 horse field at his favorite track and distance, even with Lox and Kippers, I say Placido goes to post as the favorite somewhere around 8/5, with the highest possible price 5/2.

Speedjama will likely be the favorite (gulp, yes the favorite) simply because of Garret Gomez riding in a short field in a return to his best surface.

Look for the Jungle Prince to run opening week at Santa Anita, which I believe is the first or second week of October. Betcha he runs first in one of those 6 1/2 F turf sprints.

Some of us are. Some can't wait for Del Mar and Saratoga, for me it's OakTree at Santa Anita

Tim, you didn't tell me Cosmos was running in the first tomorrow.

I'm just perusing the entries looking for that needed excuse to go watch them run tomorrow. He may just be the reason

Kev- You dont need an excuse. Just come to grips with the fact that you need to bet horses as much as you need to breathe oxygen.

...and today is the day that I breath oxygen and not bet. I gotta get it in while I can Tim. I have an interview on Thursday at the golf course in Williamsburg and I have a feeling he is gonna want me to start right away. Once I start there...its back to 1-2 times a month at the OTB at max.

88 days until the holy grail of racing starts.
