When was the last time horses in a Gotham had made their previous starts at 6 different tracks?

AQU, SA, GP, PHA, LRL, GG

How 'bout that?

Should be great. Any chance you make it down to the Big A?

I was thinking the same thing. Nice to see it.

He's also never gone a route, but he is a cool horse to follow. West Va has sent some decent horses to NY in the past including Researcher.

Anybody have any thoughts on the mercurial Ah Day in the Toboggan? There seems to be enough pace to set up his run..

Do you think Lucky Island is the same horse as he was last spring? The works look spotty so I think he's a bet against. I just emailed a friend of mine who I'm going to the the Big A with on Saturday and said that Ah Day could pick up the pieces of a meltdown at a big price.

Joey, I absolutely love Ah Day tomorrow (so now he has no shot). I just hope that the track is playing fair enough that he could close into what should be a sucidal pace.

In the 6th at Aqueduct, I like a horse like Counter Move, easy winner at Turfway switches to high % trainer; a nice 2/59 work on the training track on 2/15; West Coast Flyer can't be 15-1 in the Tobaggan, but I'll accept double digits; I'm going to pass on the Gotham-it's too wide open and I'll just pull for Mr Fantasy, who is in my Road to the Roses stable

Well, Shug apparently wanted to see how Imperial Council would rate and didn't plan on winning. Either that, Or Maragh thought the race was a mile and a quarter.

Yeah I just heard. Pleased to see that. That race sure had some blasts from the past. I forgot all about Joey P. and Saint Daimon.

What's going on with the Gotham finish? It's not up yet on the charts/results but the SA feed I'm watching just announced I Want Revenge nailed it. Any further info?

Ran lapped on Mr. Fantasy to midstretch, then kicked clear and won by 4 (or more). Mr. F caught by Imperial Council for second.

The big story of the Gotham is that I Want Revenge dusted these guys, and he lost to Pioneer of the Nile. If Pioneer of the Nile stays on course, and takes to dirt, how good is he? These synthetic preps are screwing up my brain.

i have a hard time believing that all the west coasters will take to the real thing. or that if they do, that they'll all show high ability on each surface.
