With all the workers it was tough to watch gallops but Eskendereya again turned it up a notch with a little more than yesterday which was more than Wednesday. Still under a hammerlock.

I've listened to what you have had to say about Dale Roman's strategy for Paddy for this race (drop back and make a big run) and I love the pattern of his TG numbers. The remaining isssue had to do with surface and it looks like I'm starting to get a poitive answer there, but when you refer to the "goofy jock" you are referring to a guy who has won the Kentucky Derby three times, right? Right now I plan to use PP as a key underneath Eskey in my exacta, tris and super plays.
BTW, I see in the Derby Trial, after going around the trainer and convincing the onwer directly to go in the Florida Derby Kent D is off Miner's Reserve. Any insight there?
