Helluva race and you could make a strong case for a bunch of these but two things caught my eye early on.

Tagg's GROOMEDFORVICTORY went lights-out to be second at GP (VS tough open company) off the layoff at today's distance and then stretched out to go second in a busted turf race. First turf race but you have to figure that Grassman Tagg is set to go today and the cutback is a nice thing to see.

I don't have any luck with MISSINGLISALEWIS but off the layoff last month he only got beat three lengths in 1:22 flat VS better open-company allowance runners. He, too cuts back, off a nice effort at a route. He's at an overlaid 6/1 with 36MTP.

For what it's worth, STORMY SUCCESS made both the Lump and Webby lists, making that one a Wump. In the $$$ at 38/1 in a Slow Bred stakes last out (over soft turf) at a mile and a sixteenth and here he gets to cut back with some class relief.

This is not firm turf, I don't care what NYRA says.

Remarkable Storm won at this distance last out on a good turf. Repeat winner try not out of this one. Trainer 2 for 3, gets Lezcano.

MissingLisaLewis and Ziptothecity both are turning back, and are not on a class raise. I like this angle at 7f, 4 and 8 win

I came up with the 1. 2 races on the turf with a 2/1/1/0 from 2 starts. Last was a busted turf sprint. Keeps Coa. The 4 also makes Can close and my x's last name is Lewis so it can fuk me more than 1 way.


pk 3 1-4/6/2-6

WP1

D/D 1-3/6

I could not have played the winner with match sticks, chipped marbles, ripped baseball cards, bent pennies, or counterfeit subway tokens.

Lump across for the $10.80 show price would have been an OK saver but we ain't that smart at the downstairs saloon.

He won last May on the 26th. Martin has them ready on the turf. Look at those last 3. Over his head.

The horse had not raced in 9 months so his last 3 meant little to me.

The Martin/Ramon connection was worth a look for sure, however.

I read in a dirty book once that you can make a baby in 9 months but I'm always too embarrassed to ask one of the girls at a board meeting if this is true.
