First Post: Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011

After a week of flurry-type opportunities, today we receive a strong cover of the right stuff.

Hoo-boy. Look at that fantastic up-and-down lineup over at the track they call the ’Gulf. And the one at Santer Aniter is, for a change, also palatable. Pro forma activity at the Snowzone Park, N.Y., of course.

Rundown
Aqueduct 3, 4, 8
Gulfstream 6, 7, 10
Santa Anita 7, 9, 10

On the hire plays, Tampa provides its usual solid weekend slate, as does Turfway. If they’re up to it this evening, the Governor Samuel Houston Race Park & Museum delivers OK nighttime action.

Rundown
Laurel 2, 5, 6
Tampa 3, 4, 7
Fair Grounds 1, 8, 11
Turf Paradise 1, 3, 9
Turfway 9, 10, 11
Sam Houston 5, 7, 9

All right, all right, ya track-trend followers! All right, Champ, hang on there! There’s the 6f at Beulah. …The 4½f at Chas. Town. …zOMG! The 6f at Fair Grounds. …The 6f at Pharx. …The two-turn 1 1/16m at Tampa. …Both the 6f and 6½f at Turf Paradise. …Those are the speed-trips. …On the rally-only side, check the 1m (T) at Santa Anita.

Thank you. Best luck and good wishes for you today. Bye-bye.
