Fairmount:
Thanks for checking in.
Actually have no feelings for Bolo either way. Like the colt next to him in the
gate, Prospect Park, he seems to be moving forward at the right time of year.
I think Keeneland bears watching the entire Spring as we all seek runners who
will enjoy (or not) the Lexington surfaces at BC time. I agree with the ROTW
analysis that \"Kobe\" is a bad ML favorite in the Commonwealth shipping off a
top effort, and that C. Zee will be strong in that spot. CZ already has two
wins on off tracks and in his only Kee race he ran a good second to eventual BC
Sprint winner Work All Week on a wet fast track last Fall.
Due to the uncertainty regarding the Keeneland surfaces after the heavy rains,
and the fact that previous commitments will prevent me from watching the races
on the Left Coast (poor planning, I know) I might focus on the late P4 at AQ,
where racing should be conducted over a fast track.
Most intriguing runner on the day for me -- 5th race Tampa (post time approx
2:23) (weather does not seem like it will be an issue), World Approval in
something called the \"Sophomore Turf\", 75K purse. World Approval, ML 4/1, is
arguably fastest of these TG wise on turf (limited sample, lightly raced
bunch). This gelding is a half bro to three turf millionaires. At 3/1, 7/2, 4/1
will take a decent swing at the pinata in my first bet at Tampa in many years.
Rafael Hernandez named to ride.
