Not a bad line-up compared to the last few years.

TOFP will be in for a good race from Everyday Heroes. Watched this one race at Oaklawn and he's the real deal. Never asked for run in any of his first couple of races. 6f with ease and the one turn mile at the Duct should help him with the longer distance. Watch out!!!!!!!!

Was there really any question who had to win this race on karma?

The racing gods took'eth away last week, they gaveth back this week.

Call me atheistic and all...

But the Dominguez God took'eth way back, and gaveth the race away.

I didn't see the race until this morning but I feel like TOFP probably doesn't want to go a mile, so he did what he could to try to get him to go the distance.

[The Indomitable DrugS]

A mile is a perfect distance for him .. he has a lot of speed and wants a target ... that's why the rail post is so tricky. You can't send with a horse like him - but if you neglect to use your speed and take back you can find yourself behind a total crawl.
