I thought he was going to die

I agree that Grunder did a good job on this one.

i didn't say it was crappy, seemed to be the theme of the thread....



i'm @ Tampa most everyday they are open, and these puzzles are tough to solve, but very rewarding


missed all of them today [used some of them as unders] but even though there are days you just go home scratching your head, i thoroughly enjoy the meet

I like the meet. The quality of the horses is not the problem. It's the strange
names of the horsemen and their M.O. that's befuddling. The horsemen have come from all over. The melting pot of the eastern seaboard.

This is the first meet that I'm really paying attention to. And after today I'd say I have a heck of a lot work to feel comfortable at Tampa. Wait till next year.

a note towards next year........mark down all the winning trainers b4 jan1 and look for these guys to do it again...some surprising winners in 1st couple weeks from guys who aim for the meet...led to some big balloons last couple years

I thought the card was great today.Pluck looked to be getting a prep race and Brethren didn't look like much.Plus there were a slew of paceless fields.I missed on the Derby,as I think did everybody.But there were a lot of nice straight,exacta,and doubles payouts( I love rolling DD's) today that were completely logical.
