    Barn thinks he may be a head case? Green as hell in debut, given 2 weeks off after first and came back good, works were good, last work was typical TAP jog before a race. Has worked heads up with the best and his last will certainly get a better price, but he is far from being anything close to a future star? Proceed with caution?

    FYI, this quick dirt-to-turf move from barn is not a sign of confidence!

    Man---that's putting me on a spot!
    GP 3yo msw races on dirt are hard to get into, alot of entries this time of year. This high-priced clm race on turf came up so they decided to give him a try on turf. Probably thinking if he jumps shadows again he can recover in a turf race. Yet, he was really showing good form in works last month, and second out improvement is a real possibility? I think you could expect him to be gunned from the start and try to be in the first flight, and hope JC can ration some speed for late running. At 6-1 or better, yeah, worth a shot?

    JG,first and foremost thanks for your info always appreciated.Didnt mean to put you on the spot.Im diving into the early pick 4 at Gulfstream tomorrow,i think Animal Kingdom is beatable in last leg.I love a horse in first leg so im trying to cover all bases.

    BTW,JG im surprised Mysterious Chimes 3rd race off the layoff yesterday at OAK was 8/1.MC loved oaklwan earlier in her career,ran out of her skin yesterday,may wheel right back in a overnight small stake.

    WIll AK be fully cranked tomorrow?

    I never expected to get involved here, but this was in my stable notes:

    Late Night Action
    Notes: Pletcher grass type; might try Derby Trail

    Not sure where the fuck I came up with this, but it indicates grass was expected. Who knows....

    I think Dirty may have gotten that info from me? LNA had been working with my colt at PMM and I made a comment about one of his workmates being pointed toward the grass. However, I was talking about one who debuted on dirt and ran off, Liberty Bound, who is pointed on dirt all the way now.

    Work-tab shows him working once on PMM turf, 2 back I think, and time was ok. I think the work was subsequent to his dismal first out where he jumped shadows all the way down the backstretch.

    Dam side has a ton of turf pedigree. I would not leave off your pick-4 ticket. Good works, top barn, hot jock, and 2nd out improvement spell player!

    I was more than a little disappointed with Late Night Action in the debut. Could rebound today, but who knows. FWIW, i like the Attfield horse in this race. He's pretty deadly with this type; reminds me of Perfect Shirl debuting right about this same time a couple of years back.

    I bought. I just didn't wake up early enough to bet it. Nice exacta boys, thanks for the info on both horses regardless.

    This one runs back tomorrow. Perfect Tay (the Attfield horse) was claimed by a shrewd trainer for 75k last out. 3-1ML

    What do think in here DC? I was impressed by this one's last run...

    I looked at the race, and think he has a good chance, but i'm more than a little concerned about the price. The claim out of the debut will draw a lot of attention, and shrewd as the guy may be, he's no Roger Attfield. Think he'll be shorter than 2/1, and the appatrent lack of speed is a concern as well. I passed. Probably means he'll win easy, lol.

    Attfield lost a nice one here. This horse had an easy victory @ 3-1. The horse who finished second was the only other horse who looked to have a shot, but was carried wide coming home.
