Default Cobalt Blue

Nice return today but probably not good enough to move into the top tier yet. watch for a move-up and stretch out. Hope they dont test against the top bunch but Im sure there is a minor Stakes race in SoCal for him in a month or so.

Spoke with a friend of mine today on the West Coast. I heard he looked pretty good today winning his first start back, but I didn't see the race myself. Not sure how the splits or trip went, or how the race set up for him, etc.

1:09 and change fast pace that he closed on , Stalked close to the pace pulled away from the favorite atthe wire . won by a couple. Im just glad it appears he has overcome his slight setback. The big question is, was it the stiff compition that he couldnt keep up with in his previous race or did he have a real problem?

I don't know how the roadtotheroses challenge goes and this was probably stupid, but I put Cobalt Blue in my stable when I set it up yesterday.

If you like the horse, that isn't a stupid move at all. In that contest it is good to take some under-the-radar horses to complement the Nobiz like Showbizs and Ravels in your stable.
Look at it this way, to do well you need to get some points that most other people aren't getting. Nobiz and Ravel aren't going to do that for you because 98% of the people in the contest will have them. 98% won't have Cobalt Blue.

Nice race yesterday by the Doug O' Neill charge. He wont beat Ravell but he will probably beat everyone else.

was eye catching once again yesterday, and for all the hardcore, everyday of the week bettors out there was a gift price in the 5 horse field, yours truly went in the track and made a nice bet on him after training yesterday morning=). dont think stretching out is gonna be a prob at all for this horse
