So I just read the ROTW write-up. Since the term "we" was used, I assume a collaboration of TGJB & TGAB at least. Actually I picture someone, whomever, made Trouble Kids sheet after either that last race or the one before it. Standing and insisting that [u]everyone[/u] in the TG office had to "look at this sheet."

Since the "Jet up" is incredulous it begs a showcase and the Gallant Bob provides just such a spotlight. What else is there to conclude but PED's? Prior to going on, I want to say that, while concise, the ROTW analysis is persuasive and objective as always.

In my handicapping, I like to look between the lines, searching for some esoteric trivia that 90% of the time has no bearing on the world of causation. aka Kool Aid.

This time my cursory detective work turned up Trouble Kid a) four different owners and four different trainers to date. I only noticed one claim so a couple of title transfers suggests the horse has been on the radar for awhile.

Then there is the past running lines and the name. Trouble Kid and this one has seen its share in his short career. He has been, checked, steadied, bobbles a start and worn down then caught late prior to just running off and avoiding any possible problem in his last two.

Since I am not an expert I speculate on race dynamics. In this race Trouble Kid must run with other fast horses not mdn claimers. Fast as he is there is potential for a troubled trip, and or bounce say.. 40%. Catalina Red stands to benefit from what I anticipate as an honest fast pace, yet also is 50/50 to lose some ground and will need to pass more than a couple I expect.

I would like Hebbronville but for the price, weight and short rest as noted by TG, that is I can forgive a TG 2 knocking the hell out of a two year old, maybe even view the pattern as sitting on new top now. Believing Colebrook to be patient man Limousine Liberal's performance in the [u]7 Furlong[/u] King's Bishop still impresses and off that same race wouldn't touch Gran Bili now, my choice then.

Yes the Gallant Bob is funny odd, and maybe pathetic ridiculous.
