Doesn't anyone remember the owner/trainer pair in the 90s who always showed up with some no-hoper in the Derby? They were Puerto Rican perhaps?
The race is a tough concept to get rolling. I'm sure the hope was to get it going with the slot fees until other revenue can fund it. We should all commend the effort instead of taking swipes at it. Guess what race all in racing will be watching in a couple weeks?
Any word on how they're filling the slot previously designated for the Casse horse who broke down?

All purse/earnings nonsense aside, this is turning out to be an outstanding race from a quality standpoint as well as betting. Looking over the figures/sheets for the probables, I'd even be willing to say this is the fastest group to ever come together (based on their respective top efforts). I'd be curious to hear from the TFUS guys to get their perspective on this.... Beyer and Ragozin will obviously see it somewhat differently since... you know... horses aren't getting any faster...
That being said, you can make a case that most aren't coming up to a career best effort next Saturday... 8 stakes altogether and possibly the best field ever assembled. I for one, can't complain.
Good luck to all

That would be Robert Perez and Alfredo Callejas I believe.

I want to say it was Robert Perez.
And I agree with you- for all of its problems, the Pegasus looks like a great horse race.

Come on Tom you can certainly find a few races at GP that are far more playable than Tampa.

I wouldn't play GP with your money.
I'll still boycotting from 20 years ago.
The track is run by total idiots who have no respect for their customers.
Or they are total morons.
OR both.
