2YO colt, Boys At Tosconova had another easy 3/4's work yesterday in company with 3YO filly Acting Happy who finished 3rd to Blind Luck, in her last start in the Alabama. They worked as a team with Boys at Tosconova bettering the filly by a head at the wire. He gets his final work Monday Oct. 1st before shipping to CD Tuesday morning. TJ

everyone is sleeping on this horse, out of sight out of mind, this is a serious race horse.

Hi Bdw,
If you listen to Ricky Dutrow, he's the second coming of Big Brown.... I've never had reason to doubt his word.....only thing that scares me is his some what abbreviated campaign. TJ

When you see his odds on race day I think you'll find that nobody has forgotten about him.

Wow....Uncle Mo was very impressive....but I can't give up on Boy's At Tosconova yet....he was coming in off a long layoff and had to "give" to Mo who was perfectly brought into the race. Looks like we're going to have an exciting 3YO crop to look forward to. TJ

I actually liked Rogue Romance in this race. I think he is an "improving" horse and one to keep an eye on.

Did anyone else notice Jaycito wandering over to the rail for ice cream?
So Run for the Roses, as fast as you can.....

Hi Madelyn,
Rogue Romance, wasn't that his first try on the dirt? The top 3 will be heading to Palm Meadows/Gulfstream for another showdown in the Florida Derby....now we have to see who holds up the best between now and the first Saturday in May:>) TJ
