I’m still holding out hope that they don’t close it, as I actually prefer Hollywood. It plays more like a dirt surface than either Santa Anita or Del Mar.

You’d think I was a Labor leader or something the way she burns me repeatedly. :)

I’ve got a Derby stable brewing in my head and through my DRF horse watch list. Still waiting until January to officially unleash and begin tracking seriously.

Saturday review.
GALANTAS ran in 4th nearly the whole way, winding up a non-threatening 5th at 5-1 while the first 3 dominated the Native Diver. I’ll put him on a watch list as he may have needed the race. Interesting to note that there wasn’t much passing in the two route races on the day so I’ll look to upgrade he and SPRING HOUSE down the line.
BLACK MAMBA was running on but the 5y.o. mare just was too one-paced and didn’t have the necessary class in the end vs. the boys, finishing 4th at 5-1 in the Turf Cup.
Have you got a Derby stable yet?
Only three weeks to opening day at Santa Anita!
