Horses are really running for Rosario. Not saying they wouldn't be winning anyways, but he is in the zone.

I caught the first 2 winners and haven't been able to find another.

I'm going to try the # 3 horse with Mike Smith. Hope he's not short.

Boy I wish they would just tell you they have no intention of trying.

Enjoy the week you lucky S.O.B. (although I KNOW that deep down you will miss the girls.) That being said, enjoy the peace and quite.

He sucked the first couple of races last night!

He does that, and then he turns around and gets average stuff to draw off. Look at the last race last night, and the 7th today. They were probably going to win, but they win very easily with him. You're right though. He does sandwich bad rides in between the easy winners.....weird.

The 10 is, by far, the best chance for a double carry.

That ride he gave the 1 in the 1st last night was God Awful. Slow fractions and he was about 15 off the lead. He never gave that horse a chance.

I'd say that Gryder would be the problem for ya there. He let that 5 horse get a slow easy lead. It almost worked for him(he got by,) but Stein had the bomb super-ready to key his p4 to. Gryder is always scheming about the pace. That's really the only use the guy has to anybody. That's his one and only skill (pace manipulation.)

I thought Gryder was in good position. The question about the 5 for me was the distance. When he started to back up, Gryder was in great shape and his horse has no excuses. But back to the point, Rosario never gave his mount any chance by dropping so far back. It was 1 1/8 on the turf with what 6 horses in the race. 2 of the horses wanted to be near the lead and everyone else was a closer. So it didn't seem like the fractions were going to be suicidal to drop 15 lenghts off the lead. Bottom line is that I just thought it was a very poor ride.
