As a horseplayer, you do have to live with some pretty horrible rides from time to time, but you take notes and hope that horse comes back with a better jock next time.

Any new trainers planning on wintering at Tampa this year or is it going to be the usual suspects?

As long as they continue to get larger fields, that is all I am concerned with. I would much rather bet a 12 horse field of $10k claimers, than the 6 horse ALWN1X I see at GP and AQU all winter.

The Florida % take-outs are pretty much the highest in the country.
