Good point. I was so worried about a mythical Gio Ponti versus Courageous Cat matchup that I didn't see the great TB-GP rivalry staring me in the face.

I wonder if either will be able to beat Hialeah after that one warms up from the long layoff.

The Honey Fox is a nice race. Guess this will be the rare day I bet the Gostreak Course.

It is a good race. I wonder what the reasoning is behind Lezcano jumping off Bluegrass Princess for his main man Chad Brown and opting on Kitty Cat Express. Very evenly matched field in which any number of them could win.

I will play against Courageous Cat with confidence Saturday.
The problem is I don't know who I will rely on...but CC will not win.

Have you seen the rest of the field? He's certainly going to be overbet but I think he looks very, very tough unless they can convince Rahy's Attorney that Gulfstream is actually Woodbine.

Yeah, that would be the problem with my theory.
But I don't look for mott to have CC anywhere near cranked for this.

I'm in agreement with that line of thinking as well. I don't think Star Plus is the worst stab in this race. He will most likely be a nice price. Penna/Maragh are plenty dangerous together. Should be pretty fit coming in 2nd off and with the rail at 72 feet, working out a trip should be no problem for Rajiv.

I tend to agree. I know the Breeders Cup Bounce theory is valid, but CC really should handle this group if he's ready. Jet Propulsion should be overbet based on the dream front-running trip he got last time, and faces a much tougher group. The only other horse I may use in the multis is the Angel Penna Jr. horse. Pretty nice comeback for being off so long, and the guy knows where to spot his horses.

Anyone know if Mambo Meister is running at GP or Tampa?

I hope Hialeah becomes well Hialeah again.. The turf races this weekend are quite the bore. Other then hoping Quiet Harbor continues to move forward the Spls's look more interesting then the Stakes.
