1) AQ Inner Tube: Bank Audit, like Ojibway
a few days ago, absolutely void of gate
speed on the switch from G. Martin to
F. LaBocetta.

2) Huge mutuels at AQ on races that most
horseplayers find uninspiring, puny
mutuels at GP on races that were won by
horses that will hopefully be running
in important races over the summer.

3) IMO poor job by GP racing secretary/
racing office filling out the fields
in these stakes races, considering the
amount of horseflesh at their disposal
(Palm, Calder, GP). Think of the hit
they take handle-wise especially in
exotics. Blame Sunshine Million races?

4) Interesting 3YO year. Right now
faves would be Sweet Cat and Declan,
neither of whom is trained by a
man with much Triple Crown
expertise. Baffert/ Zito/ Lukas?
Is there a new world order?


5) With regards to IEAH, do they get an
Eclipse for largest farm bill? If you
look at their website, it seems like their
stock is rehabbing all over the country.
