Tampa Saturday

[orioleboy]

The best racing today is at Tampa. An all stakes Pick 5.

Race 7 - GO AWAY - yes I got to this horse because he's a Scat Daddy, but he is 2 for 3 on the turf plus 1 for 1 at Tampa. His Beyers are light but he's working well and I think he can step up his game. This race is very tough and wide open and I am going 4 deep on one ticket. Also using Proliferate, English Bee and Digital Age (broke his maiden at odds on for Chad Brown)

Race 8 - FLAMEAWAY - he's a single for me. I've been riding this horse since last year. He's got class and he needed his last.

Race 9 - just using the two Chad Brown horses, Rymska and Onthemoonagain

Race 10 - WINTER SUNSET - this regally bred lass (Tapit out of turf star Winter Memories) gets the call in another wide open race. She looks like a superstar in the making. Can't imagine her being anything close to her 6/1 morning line. I would love 7/2. She's a single on one of my tickets. Also using La Feve, Blowout and Stellar Agent.                     

Race 11 - TACITUS - in a race where there are three other very talented horses we're taking a shot with this Bill Mott colt. The breeding is off the charts (Tapit out of Mott stakes winner Close Hatches) and this horse has the look of a Derby contender. Been training well at Payson and Mott doesn't put maiden winners in stakes, especially off a layoff, unless they're the goods. Win Win Win threw a 99 Beyer in January, although it was at 7 furlongs. First time around two turns. Dream Maker and Well Defined also are legit contenders.

Good Luck

Well I had a good day but it could have been better. Got enticed into the pick 5, which I usually don’t play. Had 4 of 5. The race I lost was won by a horse I considered but had to eliminate because thr pick 5 gets expensive. I ran 2nd and 3rd. If Chad Brown’s 7 horse got up I would have hit at least a $4000 pick 5 for 50 cents! When I realized I wasn’t alive in the pick 5 with the 5, I put in a $10 double with Tacitus which paid $125. Also had Tacitus to win. If I would have stuck with pick 3, I probably would have hit. No complaints though.

another nice job of selecting------we were in agreement on 7th 10th 11th unfortunately didn't play until 10th
also loved the 10th 11th selections' pedigrees(who wouldn't?) not in love with TAPITs on turf
nailed the Mott Derby winner win + tri and the McLaughlin NY winner
the Mott winner had a beautiful/lucky trip/ride inside--the NY winner made the most of the ridiculous pace
imo no Derby winners in either mix

keep it up!
