A heat prostration episode like he had saps a horse. He worked yesterday with Big Truck, so you'll get some answers today. Barclay was a no-show yesterday on ATR so I'll try to get him today.

was it that bad for Elysium ? your right though, if i ever did single him it would be more with my heart, and not with my head.

Robin Smullen made it sound bad... 105 degree temp... 4 hours to cool out, etc..

Per bloodhorse. (And again, these odds seem completely off to me). I can't imagine playing Pyro at even money in a race which is obviously a prep and his fist race on synthetic.

Well, any chance I have at still having action on my first lifetime future wager all comes down to this guy running well enough to get in the gate in May.

Battaglia has made my Saturday much more interesting. Pyro at even money (and actually he probably isn't too far off with that) is a joke... there's a Dominican in here, just a matter of finding it...

And jeez, look at the closer that day...just off the top of my head, over half of those are stakes winners -- most of them graded.

Sheesh, what a hell of a race to close the day out.
