Yes, the Fairgrounds can play to front end horses. It has at times during the last couple years. If you played the speed you probably came out alright.

Saint Liam winning wasn't critical for me, but I understand that some are upset with the inquiry, I didn't have a great view of the race so I can't really comment on it, other than the principals involved aren't bent out of shape over it. (Prado was upset. The view of the replay I saw was ambiguous. I've been the victim of both no calls and horrendous calls by the stewards. All you can say is the track helped Peace Rules but with the Five pounds you'd think Saint Liam could have gone by clean. I do think speed carried very well by that race)

I checked the Red Board, Funny and Liam were even stronger plays than I imagined on T-Graph. The figs I had did not have them scored as well. T-Graph dominated my source on this race. If I was using T-Graph I'd might be partying til next weekend.

Ten Most Wanted took some bumps again and the way the track was playing, with his post factored, the set up was not ideal for him. Neither was the fact his big number was at 10 marks. But, I get the distinct impression that he really doesn't like to be bumped. Caveat: His Travers score. But there are horses if you bump em around a little it takes the heart out of them and I think Ten is certainly in that Ballpark. I think Wally Dollase has a vivid imagination too.


Wally, how did you treat Ten for his vertebra problem?

lol
