ROTW--2/23

[TGAB]

The ROTW will be the Gulfstream Park Turf Stakes, Saturday at GP. It will be up Friday mid-afternoon.

I wrote the following back in Nov for a nice ROTW score:

\"Thorn Song could be tough. gets in light and gets a perfect post. a run in the \'3\' range could be enough if Desormeaux saves the ground.\"


after a quick view, looks like he fits again here (but Desormeaux NEEDS to save the ground this time in the 3 turn event). distance the concern.

let\'s see how the surface looks. I think they were off the turf today.

Michael D,

All of the above sounds good but you know as well as I do if the White Mercedes has been parked outside of Romans barn this week this race is freakin over...............

Just a reminder about the SoCal horses outrunning their TG numbers when they ship east.

Might be an easier spot here for Zann and Notable Guest, rather than the San Luis Obispo at home -- if Einstein is the best TG horse here, this must be G1 in name only.

The Mensa society is overthinking this one, or playing favorites.

No Einstein for me ad I am playing 2,6,7/11 in the late double.

Einstein went pretty sour after FG race last year.

Not sure he is totally back.

We will know in a minute.

This win makes up for the loss a year ago when he was best and ran third because of a wide trip.

Horse for Course was respectable price at 3-1 in the win pool but overbet (compared to others) in the Double Pool which is where I was looking.

Might be about to take a Steam Bath. Going with the 11 in last.

Thanks TG for the Magna Pick 5 lock (Einstein)...I even had the triple with huge longshot Dancing forever strictly because of your comments about Rahy\'s offspring getting better with age. I would have never played that horse without those comments...Got beat out of the Super though ...I didn\'t have the 10..

Thanks again..

Well I\'m glad you hit the triple. We put effort into looking at each horse in the race and often the big value is not in the win spot but rather in the 2, 3, and/or 4 slots. So we accept your thanks and are heartened that you were able to optimize the analysis to your benefit. That\'s what we do this for. Congratulations. Good job.
