There is a La. Bred named Cajun Charlie that shipped to Tampa last week for the Derby. He's by Afternoon Delites and is our best La Bred 3yo going 2 turns. Im very curious to see how he matches up with that group pointed for the race.

Talking

The card draws today.

Thankfully Tampa moved the entry dates forward one day from their traditional draw (Thurs for Sat, Fri for Sun, etc...) with their latest conditon book. 24 more hours to bang our head against the wall is appreciated.

It's tough to say how he'll stack-up. The horses he'll face at Tampa figure to be much tougher. Plus his last two his wins were on easy leads at Delta.

Zip Motion, whom he beat last time, is a mid-70's state-bred allowance horse. Freddie One Bite's, whom he's beat twice in a row, has a career best Beyer of 70. The horse he lost to for Mouton, Balidor Desol, has been unable to run back to that 76 figure at LAD this summer.

I'm sort of surprised to see Brian House ship there.

he's scared off by this group, and would rather face Alpha and Union Rags in 2 weeks?

Exactly what I was thinking... If he can't compete with this group due to post position, what the hell makes him think he has a prayer in the FL Derby?
