race 1:

:1: TUBAL is by Shakespeare and a 10f mare from a female family of 12f stayers. He's been running in dirt and turf sprints, but low pace staying marathons on the green fit much better, and he may have found his true home in the modest American jump racing.

race 3:

:8: BOSSY is undefeated over 5,5f (poly and turf) and is dropping from a better field where she didn't get pace help (23 > 45.4...). Sharp workouts.

2nd :mad:

race 4: enigmatic race

:4: MYSELF showed life with the drop to maiden claimers. Her trainer is efficient in the second after long layoff, turf to dirt and maiden claimers (24%). A new 50% drop will help her chance.

:9: Kisses for Romeo for exactas

r5:

:4: Championofthenile ran 21. and change in a sales breeze up. Maybe he starts to pay back his 840k right from his first start. :10: Stormin Stephen should be ready for his turf debut (bred for turf)

Well I like to see where Spaniard is at on these races as he and I look at them a bit differently, and it now appears you might have run him off with your comment. Go back and look at his posts the last week, he's pretty sharp.

I do as well and have followed him for awhile now. I think we have similar handicapping strategies. Ha I highly doubt that...that's the way it goes sometimes.

:4: Skinner Box is named for the eponymous operant conditioning chambers of B.F. Skinner.
Kind of ironic that she's been placed over her head in unrealistic spots, and "conditioned to lose"?
Ok, enough of the geek-talk

:9: wins this @ 4-5 odds

race 10:

:2: Street Fightin Man: bred for routes and ran well on route poly. Good sprint prep race (quick fractions: 21.2 > 44.3)

:3: Sequana: his best race was his only turf run (good 64 Beyer that day when he was a 2 year old.

:6: Giantpatontheback: improving Beyers with every race. Very wide trip last time.

Guys: I live 5 miles away from the border (Spain/France) and follow French and British racing. Once in a while I spend some weeks/ months in USA racing to refresh my mind but this is not the same that being a regular USA racing fan and bettor.

I was having a very bad day and I thought: better to have dinner with my wife (after 6 days eating a sandwich alone with my pc betting Saratoga). She's starting to hate Usa racing ... :cool:

Pack up the wife and move out here, Spaniard. I'll personally vouch for your character. You're a horseplayer with skills--that puts you ahead of 95% of the "immigrants" we're getting now.
