SteveMcGovern · Gig Harbor always reminds me of when I was stationed up north at Whidbey Island so this horse name has always caught my attention while running down here in SoCal. And of course it is even better when Mr. O'Neil has ties with Ireland makes me like it that much better. Congrats to O'Neil and his connections during the Alcatraz Stakes. · 726 days ago ·

bay_area_backstretch · Thanks Steve, glad you enjoy them.I think the tapeta surface at Golden gate is one of the best around. Horsemen continue to praise it.I think Santa Anita made a wise choice going back to dirt to keep the top horses there since the big events are on dirt. It is quite a bit speed favoring from what i've seen but i think the area had the luxory of having both dirt and synthetic in the same area with Hollywood Park being a cushion track. · 725 days ago ·
