Proof exists I haven't followed the early part of the Gulfstream so-called "Championship Meet." Brad Cox with 4 starters so far and some of them working at Payson Park despite my assertions in a prior post that Gunmetal must have been sent from a Fla barn to Brad at FG. Wrong.

In race 5 tomorrow (Saturday), #7 Tappan Street starts for Cox, WinStar, China Horse Club and Siena Farms. This one was a cool million dollar purchase. Several works match up with Gunmetal although some of the works are slower and at different distances dating back to Wsr works. Nonetheless the horse appears to have a bit of talent. Todd sends out the 4 horse Abundance who is owned by the same folks. This one is a homebred.

At Oaklawn Park, Mystik Dan appears to have been workmates with Lat Long in the finale in a recent FG 59 4/5 bullet. While Dan was last and was one of the greatest bet against horses in some time finishing last yesterday, he did bring out a certain percentage of the crowd at Santa Anita as the Kentucky Derby winner. White Abbario is a BC Classic winner entered at Gulfstream tomorrow and continues to race which isn't seen often and deserves a tip of the cap. It is important for garnering fans and future gamblers that the stars not get shipped off to stud after 3 to 6 races only to be shipped to Turkey or South America or even worse Oklahoma (haha) to be stallions just a few years later.

Back to Lat Long, he has a wide post but I'll give him a long look along with Cox's new acquisition Bedard for use in the win spot.

Good Luck.
