Posted on October 8, 2011 by PTF

BELDAME PREVIEW

Posted on September 30, 2011 by PTF

BELDAME (R9 BEL, 5:06 ET) Apologies for all the chalk, folks, but you can only take what they give you. I think it’s an important exercise to deconstruct and price up these races, if only to get a jump for … Continue reading →

FLOWER BOWL (R5 BEL, 2:47 ET) #1 DELUXE is a contender. She’s got my girl Aruna on the book from back in the day in France, though Aruna has improved mightily since then. Deluxe ran very well in her stateside … Continue reading →
