Most of the time, I can find the PPs for a given race, but not all the time. I generally go to DRF to determine whether they will be listed under a trainer, or a sire, but there are times when they are not available, which usually happens when they are state breds. This happens when we play some place like Laurel so if it only costs a dollar for Brisnet PPs, it might be worth it to continue to get them that way, if you don't want the trouble of having to hunt them down and still maybe not find them.

What I find so interesting is….

I have never in my lifetime ever used PPs

And yet last year I was LUCKY Enough
To finish the year in FIRST Place

Must Be Murphy’s Law, Eh

PPs finally up for Gulfstream. All of our contest races, I think, are under Todd Pletcher except for Race 4 which will be under Hard Spun in the sire listing and Race 10 which will be under Graham Motion. Good luck all.

Interesting that the pp's now include the ML odds, but the list of entries at Equibase does not yet except for race 1 and the Holy Bull. It looks as if many things are moving slower than usual today. Those pp's can be really difficult to track down at times, especially at some of the smaller tracks where the name trainers don't operate or where most of the runners don't come from popular sires. For example, the Fair Grounds cards a large number of races for LA breds, and finding pp's for Star Guitar or other LA based sires' offspring is almost impossible.

I noticed that Oaklawn has already cancelled racing tomorrow due to weather. Hope that you stay warm and safe Cal despite the rotten weather.
