Southwest Day Figures

[APny]

Curious how some of the TG guys are interpreting the huge figs some horses got on Southwest day at OP. Crazy fast figures for some out of nowhere aided by huge ground loss which seemed to be the best part of track. I will still play them to bounce.

Note - It was an ugly weather day @ OP. The track was sloppy and the field well strung out behind Essential Quality an impressive winner.

The early pace of the race set by Jackie\'s Warrior in 23.5 & 48.1, 1:13.5.

If you are looking at Speilberg in particular, The chart declares unprepared, 5w throughout. Furthermore, he came from last @ the 2nd call to be a solid second.

What concerns me most about Speilberg is his solid also-ran finishes in the Bob Hope (@2) and the R. Lewis this year? Can the horse put two good races together back-to-back?

I can imagine BB telling the owners of Speilberg the easiest route to the KY Derby starting gate for you runs thru Hallandale Fla.

Both hard to hate or Love.

Spieberg has only 1 fast race, his sloppy track race, a huge new top, completely out of whack with his prior races. That is what concerns me about Spielberg. This pattern looks ripe for a bounce.
