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.

That would be 2 more grass wins today and he didn't even have a mount in the feature. Garcia is nasty.

The 'got the jump on them' style of trip handicapping firmly on display.

A poorly judged move by Ramon (though to that point, he sat a perfect inside drafting trip). Of course, he's probably not familiar with that long stretch run at AP.

Why is Brass Hat not running on dirt? Sheesh.

I meant to put this in my previous post.
