[hud8118]

ok everyone who has commented on the dec 10th tampa 5th and 10th races....many of those horses come back in tampa's 6th on friday...Papa Carlos off a bad ride in MC32 draws the 2 post with same jock....Cause I Said, the early pressured speed in the MC 32 race draws the 3 post...Purincat and NBA Money from the MSW 5th race on the 10th draw posts 4 and 7...throw in 2 more with decent races last in Whereintheworld from post 1 and Delivered from post 10 and 2 firsters who could be live (Yensen from Ness and Bugler from Proctor) and you have one of the most interesting and tough to figure Tampa races so far...would love people's thoughts on this race and how to bet it...my 2 bet back horses were Purincat and NBA Money but now not so sure

FTS Ninja Warrior gonna be awfully tough in there, and may be a nice price too.

There are a lot of interesting pedigree plays in there. Tough race.

Yeah. Tough to take a short price on any horse in that race.

A few thoughts on the race.

Score One's dam was 6 for 14 on the turf including a listed stake at Tampa.

Chief Redneck's dam was 5 for 23 on turf, and was in the money in 9 other turf starts, winning over 100k.

Ninja Warrior, as Kev mentioned is bred very strongly for grass, being a full to War Monger, who was 4 for 13 on grass and won over 500k. He's also a half to Brickell who won over 300k on grass. Trainer has had success with Danny Coa riding.

Ransom Canyon's dam was 7 for 15 on grass and she was also a half to 6 figure turf earners.

Horvat Clan is the trip horse.

Soul of the Moon's dam is half to Marcavelly who won a couple of grade 3's on the grass.


Horvat Clan is the one to beat and if he repeats his last, he's going to win. I think the 2,3,4 and 5 are all interesting pedigree plays. I give the edge to Ninja Warrior, although maybe the board tells a better story. The real wild card to me is Score One. Sporadic works, but the kind of horse I've seen light up the toteboard. Very interesting race.

Just watched the replay - how in the hell Goncalves not only doesn't go ass over teakettle into the rail coming out of the chute, but manages a closing 4th is beyond any plausible explanation. Well bred firster mentioned by Hossy (Ransom Canyon) gets it done @ 8-1.
