SA 12.26.15 Race 5

[Shemp Howard]

:4: Mr. Coker ML 8-1

$300K first-time starter for a HOF trainer and Grade 1 winning owner at the tricky 7 furlong distance.

Workout tab, including several in company with a Grade 3 winner, tells me this colt has been prepped to grab some out that early 3yo cash.

Watch the race collapse at the head of the stretch as this one gallops out late.

Looking for 9-2 or better.

Debating between the :4: and :3: as a single in the pick 5...you're right in that the :4: has the breeding, price and works, I also like the jockey and he's getting live horses...but watch the :3: 's last race and tell me what you think...two subsequent sharp works under his belt and trainer improves with second time starters, adds Mike Smith...tough choice but I don't want to double my ticket as I'm deep in other legs....any thoughts on the third? I'm liking the :6: a little bit

The jock. leading rider at LOS, just won the daily double.

Back and forth last night with the :4: & :5:, Shemp.

Jock just won the 1st 3.

Guess he can't win them all.
