If people have an ROI on Garcia on the turf at the SPA meet I would say it would be in the 10 to 14 range.

Garcia has gotten very, very good on the grass but Leparoux came back in the 9th with a pretty flawless ride of his own.

Dollars? That would be just about impossible.

He's now 36-9-2-3 on grass this meet - with a $3.32 ROI.

Thank you. 9 for 36 on the grass is awesome considering how full the fields are at Toga. I guess he's hit with lower priced horses than I thought. Still a terrific ROI.

Probably a better ROI is Linda Rice for Turf Sprints at SAR

Ive really been watching Garcia closely on the turf this meet.
He almost always saves as much ground as possible. Then at the top of the stretch he get his horse in a position offf of the rail where he has options- Rail run, split horses, angle outside.

Garcia is really good, but Ramon always seems to be in the right spot.

I agree..as was the case last weekend with Gio Ponti. Sure, he had the best horse, but it was a perfectly timed move. I had to watch the replay to how he even got the lead, because it seemed to happen in an instant.

I meant to put this in my previous post.
