travel_vic · I recall watching in awe when Gary Stevens came over from Idaho and was leading rider for several seasons at old Longacres. One knew he was destined for better. I saw his first hundred grander at then Exhibition Park, on a Washington shipper named Prairie Breaker in the B.C. Derby 1983 edition. He came back to ride the final race when LGA closed down too. CLASS ACT. Leading rider for several seasons at Hastings, from Mexico, Mario Gutierrez, did what he does well: stole a race on the front end yesterday in a stakes at Anita. This fellow has started to have people notice him in the big leagues.....Success like that may not bring him back to Hastings, where he hooks up with leading trainer Troy Taylor and owner Glen Todd. Watch out for him, especially on the front end. · 3 days ago ·

avillanueva3rd1 · Been in this business a long time, from hot walker to agent to bloodstock agent to asst trainer to horseplayer to clocker. Its the nature of the game in the mornings and afternoon. When I was working for a trainer in 1995 we had a sound filly. She went out for a work and brokedown. It wasn't the track nor the amount of horses that were on the track. It was a bad step. It happens. For the longest time SA has been critical of the racing surface. They are happy now, but have yet to see the rains come. Then we will see how happy trainers are. BDJ brought up a good point between synthetic tracks and dirt tracks some time ago. It involved the motion of the horse when hitting the turn for home and that more injuries are occurring in the hind end than the front. Might want to ask him about that. Loved you piece by the way. · 36 days ago ·

12thCrown · When I first heard about the fatalities I assumed it was a multiple horse accident... four isolated incidents is one bad day! Even tracks considered "horse friendly" have variations from time to time. Some of my owner friends stated Oaklawn was too hard last year (maybe due to colder temps?) so maybe that's why Larry Jones headed to Fair Grounds this year. · 35 days ago ·

Thanks, mdracing69. I don't see a big payout here but we can all keep our tickets very narrow at the top to keep the investment down. I am liking #9 Thomas Baines more and more. Not for the win spot but even more solid in the second hole at a great price. Gomez is off in favor of #1 Alfarabi but Tyler Baze picks up the mount for O'Neill. I think he's going to appreciate the firm, low cut turf at Santa Anita as he makes his second start off the layoff. According to BRIS, other than Alfarabi, he's the only horse in the field that ran a a late pace number in the 90's after posting an 80+ pace at the second call. You know he'll improve second out and with so many others stretching out to a route for the first time...many of those will post lively early fractions but have nothing left in the stretch. Nice set up for this closer.

Probably best that Square Eddie is out of Derby. They did seem to be rushing him back to make the big dance.
