Well, I've been fairly MIA as of recently and its time to get back in to the swing of things.
Oaklawn Race 8
#2 Oceanwave
Love this one's last race. So much so that I placed a tiny Oaks future on her. She came from last to first in the snap of a finger off a layoff. The first time two-turns is always difficult but nothing points against her handling it just fine.
Santa Anita Race 7
#7 Bolo
His last really showed what this one is made of. If he handles the transition from turf to dirt, he will be incredibly competitive at a good price. He has been working well over the dirt and has been targeting this one for some time.
Santa Anita Race 9
#5 Kobe's Back
I'm still awestruck from last year's San Vicente. This horse is the definition of potential that hasn't been reached. We'll call him the Jay Cutler of horse racing. Anyways, I'm hoping the time off got his head straight for this one to make a big run after what should be a solid pace.

Agreed. The field is absolutely stacked. I'm actually glad it is not part of the late pick 4, I'd have had to contemplate hitting the "all" button this race...
like the kobe pick and love the barn switch. looked awesome when schooling the other day and he fires good fresh...if price is right ill fire on him today..

Story of my life!!
You must be killing it @ work, because you've been hard to find here. Speaking of missing... I wonder if Sean is doing alright.
I had all about given up, tore up my notes and took a bit of a sabbatical after having the world's longest stretch of finishing fourth! I just needed to clear my head and start over and try a new approach.
Admittedly, I learn a lot here, so I did keep up with the forum and am glad to see you diehard HRT'ers keeping it going and doing so well. I thank you all for that.
BTW, it feels good to post again, albeit not race related. I think I'll use this opportunity to get back into the swing of things.
Best of Luck HRT!
We caught Shared Belief at the Los Alamitos Derby. I tried to post that day from my phone but had some issues and wasn't able to . . .
Reminded me of the railbird scene at the end of "Let it Ride", lol:

Good Luck It's great to see your kids at the track. Brought my kids to Saratoga for the first time this past summer. They loved it! It was the day El Kabeir won his madien race and they have been following him since.
@DC - lol, yeah, sounds about right!
