Yesterday's selections were just aweful. What hurt the most was the selection at Gulsstream Park on the TAP firster, Colony Strike, who was wide all the way and lost several lengths. It usually pays to be outside in the stretch coming home on GP course, but he was very wide. Yet, he was not firing with the winners and overall, a very disappointing effort.

I wrote this up once and it vanished into cyber space, but here it goes again.

Last night at the jockey's favorite watering hole, LONGSHOT SALOON, (you're welcome Georgia), a buddy of mine was talking with the senior member of a very young jock colony , Luis Quinionez, and picked up the following:

Race 3
#3 EVADE, Little Bryan McNeil rode this old timer to a top 3 finish last out at 40-1. Too bad, today you get 7/2, but he is said to be at the top of his form cycle and you better get on him now because this cycle won't last long at his age.

Race 5
#4 TINKERBELL JET, 5-1
Lightly raced and has one good race and one very bad race. Word is David Whited has this one hidden out on local farm and the works are good enough to mop the floor with the rest of these. We'll see?

Race 8
Strange trainer change in here and my buddy said getting info from Luis was akin to pulling teeth.
#8 SCATMAN, 5-1, used to be up north with Eddie kenneally, but shows up in here with a trainer that nobody knows much about, Mike Lauer, who runs some up at Parx and other tracks. In any event, Luis says this one is live in here today, and to use with the 3 & 6 in exotics.

BTW, today's card is not very good so wager accordingly!

Btw, what's that about the thread moving to Page 3? Seems like there have been plenty of recent posts to keep it bumped up on Page 1, or so i would think?
