A$$ switches Bridge off Uno Mas to Dumar. Hernandez picks up the mount on Uno Mas. And we all know A$$ only uses Bridge for his very best stock (which is confussing anyways), interesting.
giving giant oak a long look, even though i hate the layoff -bt-

Another fine day of racing at the Fairgrounds. What was looking like mid size fields explodes to full or fuller fields, particularly pleased the filly race is now up to 8.
Weather is going to be chilly this week, with NO RAIN  , then warms up for Saturday to the low 70's, sunny and breezy.Freisan Fire I think will still be tough in here, and hopefully Indygo Mountain can move forward, he has had a tough go of it this year. Hernandez and Assmussen have had quite a successful pairing here this season, although I agree the move with Bridgomahan to Dumar is suspect. Really interested with Giant Oak also that Prado comes in to ride, even with the long lay off, supposedly he has been working well here. And Julien comes into ride Au Moon once again. Turf should be very nice, had alot of rain yesterday. Small group of DT'ers meeting up at the paddock bar and sharing my box, 1 is even flying in for a little vacay. Going to be a fun filled day!!!

I haven't watched the LeCompte on the DVR yet, I need to watch it, such a different perspective when you are actually at the track being a railbird...  That first clubhouse turn is going to be a bit tricky with that size of a field, it could either put a horse in the race or decidely put them at a huge disadvantage. Prado has ridden here a few times, but the rest are regular riders, even Julien even though he's at GP this year, but spent 3/4 of the season here last year.

6 stakes ---4 graded.... too bad I have to work or else I would come on down and join y'all....
Early thoughts..... Race 4 Pan Zaretta Secret Gypsey chalk..... Shilla could pull the upset Race 5 Colonel Power... Match race between Chamb-Bridge and Storm Treasure???? not so fast... plenty of speed including a girl.. Treasure at the rail might find traffic... don't leave out Rouse the Cat Race 6 Mineshaft... I see Honest Man over Grasshopper... but My Pal Charlie could have a say-so Race 7 FG Cap-- Questionable affair.... I see Corrupt edging the upset minded Windward Island Race 8.. Silverbulletday.... Just Jenda is just fine with me as a single... Race 9 Risen Star.... Giant Oak stakes claim as the early Derby choice Indygo fares better but not good enough Soul Warrior shows some heart filling out the tri.... Just some thoughts.... enjoy your week pondering a big week in the big easy... Mardi Gras parades have started so it's a great time to visit...

CONFIRMED that this is the long stretch, normal finish line, but remember it is short going into that first clubhouse turn, comes up very quickly.

Mineshaft - My Pal Charlie has the class, Honest Man may be the only real speed. FG H - JImmy Simms, a new 4yo who likes the track, is clearly lone speed in here and the course has been kind to that sort lately. Silverbulletday - Sheesh, how many front-runners/pressers are signed on here? Just Jenda does look like she can sit and pounce; only defeat at a bullring. Risen Star - Off the layoff? Horses in good form? Horses with excuses last out? Jumping up maiden winners? Could Soul Warrior be a rabbit for the Assman's other horses (PVal on)? Picking 3yo races this time of year is such a pain. Think I'll stick to the maiden claiming races; THOSE I can pick. Last edited by Pedigree Ann : 02-07-2009 at 03:39 PM.
