If once again I might seek counsel from the "knowlegables" of the racing community....

In the feature at Delmar today the talent level would seem to create a favorable betting environment for a quick hit by Pinata's trainer once again as Mrs Miller's kid has again chosen the perfect race to be 4-8 lbs lighter than the competition with a first time turf starter off a claim with a nice layoff and several nice bullets.

Competitors with names and reputations such as....

Carthage will also be there to attract play as a first time turf on the rail off a poor start 17 days previously.

Other horses of interest would be turf experienced Railroad also off a subpar effort and 3 rd race in a month.

Osidy and Head of the House are also top notch well placed but in one of the best features on a week day of the Meet I like Fast Parade to again make Miller our man once again.....at a very nice price of course.

Contrarian views out there people????


P.S.

On another note isn't it sad that P Val seems to be in dire straits with the California Racing Commision once again per Equidaily yesterday. When a racing commision is asking a jockey who has passed every drug test given is then asked to donate a hair sample for additional inspection is it not time to ask whether we are going just a bit too far persecuting ....I mean prosecutuing this jockey.

I knew as soon as the "neck" issue became public and the likelihood of P Val needing legitimate physician perscribed analgesics for a medical condition came into the picture that the "Bonds Effect" would come in to play. Namely just because the guy isn't winning any popularity contests with other jockeys and racing stewards doesn't mean he should get treated like a dirty junkie because he needs medication.......DrDave
