Florida breeding has come a long way since Needles just missed the Triple Crown in 1956.<BR/>Had someone tell me that the last race was a gift for Teuton and then this morning I get a call that the Allen people like Bankers High Yield's chances. Then on my own with a very powerful magnifying glass I can see maybe Heaven's Reward(beat 2 horses in his last 4 races)putting forth a good effort today at a huge price. <BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-22316018418087907332009-02-14T14:20:00.000-05:002009-02-14T14:20:00.000-05:00Not too far from Tampa Bay, but alas, it's not in ...Not too far from Tampa Bay, but alas, it's not in the cards for me.

I'll guess the crowd over 6k and on track handle probably around 600k with total handle maybe hitting 6 million. So it looks like racing conducted in the correct weather setting with a good mix of races is ok.<BR/>RGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8711985.post-59335469766088289382009-02-14T11:19:00.000-05:002009-02-14T11:19:00.000-05:00Big A Race 3, The Dearly Precious, a very weak fiv...Big A Race 3, The Dearly Precious, a very weak five filly field placed outside the P6 in NYRA's never ending quest for a two day carryover, despite it being one of the toughest races on the card to figure.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps you are getting a tad too much sun? ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
