Hi Geo,
I couldn't find the pp's for that race yesterday, so I left it out....but found it today and it's on Bobster's thread if you want the pp's and post your selections. TJ

[TJ]

The Dwyer: Texas Red, Blofeld, Tommy Macho
The Suburban: Tonalist, Mylute, Coach Inge
The Sprint Championship: Private Zone, C. Zee

[Cree]

Dwyer: Blofeld, Texas Red, Speightster

Suburban: Tonalist, Effinex, Coach Inge

Sprint Championship: Private Zone, C Zee, Clearly Now (those scratches messed me up!)

[TJ]

The Big Beast, Moonlight Song and Bay of Plenty are scratched in the Sprint. TJ

[TJ]

Here's the Dwyer finish:
Speightster, Texas Red, Tommy Macho and Smart Transition.
Billy Mott has a couple of late developing 3YO's in Speighster and Japan...expect to see these two at Saratoga in the Jim Dandy and/or Travers. Along with Texas Red, who ran a very good race considering the long layoff and after being shuffled around pretty good out of the gate. TJ

[TJ]

Here's The Suburban finish,
Effinex, Tonalist, Coach Inge, Neck 'n Neck
Great job by Jimmy Jerkens bringing this NY bred to the top of his game. I knew the vet that bred him and still owns him. He was a Jim Croce look alike with a sense of humor. He named this horse after he was divorced....look at the winners name and see if you can figure it out:>) Nice pick Cree! TJ

[Cree]

Thanks! I love that horse's name, it is cheeky. I really didn't think Tonalist could lose this, but that's racing. Never count out a Jerkins horse.
I thought Effinex would win his last race, but he ran like a goofball, and Jerkins straightened him back out.

Hi Cree,
Jimmy is going to take over his dear departed Dad's spot as "the giant killer". He knocked Tonalist down a peg or two today:>) I remember my divorce...F'n Ex....lol. TJ

[TJ]

Here's the sprint:
Private Zone, Clearly Now, Stallwalkin' Dude and Green Gratto.
