Doug didn't have room for him at DMR?

DelMar is small - they ship them in and out all the time so... we'll see

It was meant to be rhetorical and to give Stark a bad time.  I'm guessing it was his first serious exercise since his recent equipment change and since the change has been posted, I surmise that Doug didn't flip him to Little Red Feather.   Whatever race Doug sees in the book for him is probably a while from now and he'll switch out with a horse who will either run later in the meet or is done for the meet.  I wasn't suggesting a Berna Dette scenario.

In with a feather tomorrow....

Unless he's on the first van to TUP, he doesn't look like a turf horse.

Agreed, and Baffert probably already knew that

Well and Baffert would probably say, "And what are these Turf Horses you speak of."

You suppose Latest Craze can go 4 1/2f?  Will he like to run under lights?  And in other news, do people really have memories of Woodstock or all they all just crazy rumors?

[stark]

Ohh Woodstock was real alright, and while I wasn't there that weekend, I did live at Venice Beach during that time, a world all its own the best I can recall!

[Dusty]

Oh yes it was real - I STILL have my button!

[curtis]

Oh yes it was real - I STILL have my button!

I'm not questioning that it was real just whether people actually remember it.😉

Hmmm well I DO! It was quite an experience - so there I am dating myself!

[curtis]

Hope you were on him with both fists yesterday, Stark. I missed him trying to figure out--just unsuccessfully--the late P4.

I had the exact same agenda yesterday.
6 Month layoff and the switch to Rito, bet they're glad they didn't lose him for $20
