Last night was probably a tuneup for a $300,000 race at Pocono next week. Doc didn't switch to Todd without having a stateside campaign in mind.

this race against older horses was insanity...

he should have been in a 3 year old Open at best

trying to recoup some form..

they are trying for a shot at the Breeders Crown

end of season...

which will not turn out well....but u never know.

Looks like this guy should have been stopped with

last month.

or maybe after the Metro..

but they did get all the $$ at 2....


Most top 2 year old are not becoming top 3 year olds

with the new speed tracks this year..

the 1:51 are now 1:49:4

The 1:49 and change became 1:48 and change

all a second ++. Faster than last few years...

The fresh group is coming in and wreaking havoc with

the "old" crew.

Last night the new Hambo home for the next 3 years did around $680,000 in handle on 14 races while a weak card with no-name drivers at the Meadowlands did just under $1.9 million on 13. Campbell and his buddies sold out the sport but the Hambo is only 1 race on 1 day.  The Meadowlands Pace should be increased now to $1 million.

great race and they were really racing them last night..no tucks alot of horses parked and 4 wide,,,Mellilo had just enough left to get through on the inside and hold off those fast outside closers. Good to see him win one. I think he will win some more big races as we go through the year.

 

Excellent, exciting drive by Rockin' Ronnie.  Even looked in doubt despite the short stretch and he dug in with that monster! 

this was just a bad spot and bad post to begin with. It went much like I expected...no shame in going 49.1 at all but expecting him to win from this spot given his recent races was a reach..way overbet...Calicoa is a legt ffa
