Gonna try Hailstone in the Nothern Dancer at Woodbine

[covelj70]

Fast, good pattern, gets weight, great jock, has the tactical speed to work out the trip and should be 5 or 6 to 1 given some of the big names in the race who aren\'t as fast and/or are carrying higher weight.

The 1 1/2 is a question mark but as a half to Court Vision with one of the better bottom side pedigrees that you will ever see, I am going to be that he can get the distance.

Good luck!

At first this was the horse I really wanted to put on top, however I decided to go in a different direction. Bourbon Bay is an ultra consistent type, especially at the marathon distances. His record at the distance put me over the top as well as the fact he can lay close up if the pace becomes ridiculously slow and the weight concern is not a big deal for me. His figs are right there with the top ones and I\'m hoping he gets a little overlooked in the betting and floats up around 4-1.

Al Khali likes it firm, at woodbine, and 1 1/2 miles.  Three positives.

Been watching Alan \"The Butcher\" Garcia stay on the rail and get this horse in trouble, race after race, for about 2 years. Can\'t believe Mott hasn\'t put someone else up.
 
C\'mon Alan G., could you do something just a LITTLE different today? Sheesh.

And, wouldn\'t you know, the rail was the place to be on the turf today!

Not to be snippy, but Leparoux didn\'t seem to have trouble winning with Turallure in roughly the same path (~5w) Garcia had Al Khali.

Garcia is simply dead weight at the moment. I saved a ton of money by being able to confidently throw his mounts out at Saratoga. Won\'t last forever, but for now this guy is burning money by the cartload.
