Hm. No entry of Signature Move? Is he headed to the DL? Any update?

I liked how he looked on the poly and thought I might get a decent price this weekend after his putrid outing in LA....

Who stretches out successfully in the San Felipe.. On first look I think it is Georgie Boy. I like the 7fr work and his trainer has a high pct sprint/route.

IMO...Georgie Boy would need a bus ticket to get the distance

ok, I never really cared how or why races get to be graded or listed but...

shouldn't purse money have something to do with it.

Tampa Bay Derby is a grade 3 ($300k)
while the San Felipe is a Grade 2 ($200k)
so I guess a Grade 1 is $100k ?
and money in Cali is not the same everywhere else

I do like Z Fortune in the Rebel. He always seems on the cusp of doing something.

I almost hope someone decides to go breakneck after War Pass and test him a bit... isnt Make Me Zach a decently quick sprinter?

So you dont think he will finish the race?

He will finish the race and I like the fact that MC Baze will be in the saddle to put him in the right place to pick up a nice check in a weak race.

Southwest and Indian Sun might show alittle more today, but I don't see them winning.

It's Georgie Boy in this one.

You know, I was thinking about this after it happened, in a bridgejumping type race where you have this, would it be intelligent to maybe put $100 to show on a horse like Big Truck, one that figured to hit the board. If you were confident on him hitting the board, well, you would have made your $5 and gone on your way, but when the unseen happens, you walk away with $1200. Just something to think about I guess

I didn't see War Pass off the board, but I saw Big Truck winning. The Tampa surface is very quirky and Big Truck had a nice run over it already.
