Despite the shorter card and a few small fields, Alan still bounced from Saturday's Seminar Top which a local clocker said was a new TG track record.


Clearly, the new top set him back. TGJB always cautions that you should never run back on short rest after a new top. May have dire circumstances down the road.
So, the question is can TGAB recover?

Sunday:

1) Fri st solid opinion was to play Monster Mash to bounce. Alan like the 4 as a long shot and felt the winner was cycling back to a top but no sure thing. Sold opinion.

2) As both TGAB and TGJB often say, a negative opinion can be more valuable than a positive one.

In this race, Ala was negative on #2 Pletcher at 3-1 ML. Liked the #7 as a long shot and noted the #8 was cycling back. Wrong long shot!!

3)See Fairmount. Alan was ok #4 Saharan pointing out the 2 1/2 was fastest number in the race. Fairmount chirped up at that point that there was a BIG or HUGE discrepancy in the DRF # for Saharan and the TG number.


Maggie was spot on on the Goldberg (panned the horse based on paddock appearance) as he pretty much eased and Saharan made for a big Smiley for Fairmount.

5) #5) was fastest . #1 "Nice Line" #4 Bagema- long shot. VERY SOLID Opinion here.

6) and 7) normal maiden discussions. Alan liked the Mott a.e. that drew in in the 6th

8) Again a negative opinion on Pletcher #1. He is "Ouchy" . Great Stuff was 'fastest" Good work there!

9) Alan thought the 2 was live, the 3 would run and Chad was fast with the #10
Also, #6 Wild About Harry --"possible new top" .

10) Best opinion of the day.

"Most likely winner" #8 Fair Point. (5-1)

With negativity on #1 and a bit on #10 who was obviously "fast"

No opinions on the 11th.

Well after 2 days with Fairmount and a 4 hour drive home, this is how I remember it.

Another great weekend with Uncle Bill.

Hope I get to meet more TGenerates closing weekend!!

Good Luck

Bob
