My Mom passed away on May 4 after a short battle with cancer. Call your Mom today, see her if you can. And those of you who can’t, let the lasting memories and cherished times strengthen you. bradshawcarter.com/obituaries/Gio…

@ScatoniSureShot Additionally, racing secretaries lean on their peers. Who was assigned a higher weight the last time the horses were nominated to the same handicap. NARC Ratings, which are used by the graded stakes committee, save secretaries some of the work ranking horses. 6/🧵

@ScatoniSureShot From here, I will argue the racing secretaries's style diverge. Comparative handicapping and speed handicapping are employed by differing preferences to break ties. In head-to-head results, A > B and B > C. B isn't nominated. Weight A over C Who had the best last fig? 5/🧵

Maybe @ovals or someone else w/Racing Office experience can explain this to me, because I'm really confused. Why was Sovereignty--a newly turned 4yo who had never faced older open company before--assigned the 123 highweight, while White Abarrio, an established older horse w/an incredible resume, got a 2-pound allowance from him (at 121)? That seems crazy to me. Obviously, this absolutely made no difference today, and White Abarrio won on the square, but I'd love to know the reasoning. White Abarrio is a Breeders' Cup Classic winner with three Grade Ones (two against open company) on his form. Sovereignty never raced outside of his own age group. Do racing secretaries use BSFs? Do they value the Derby more than the BC Classic? Would love to know the thought process here.

Denzel Hamlin +650 (double pop) If I can find Larson at +650 near post time then I might fire on him too but I expect Vegas to be formful

@ovals @BeemieAwards He thought Prove Out scared Secretariat off? This is a fascinating character and I'll have to review the former's resume now

Saturday's first leg of the Japan Road to the Kentucky Derby has all sorts of US-bred and -sired flavor, including the re-appearance of the exciting @theTDN Rising Star Magna Victor (Maxfield) @KYTbred

Pro tip for you guys trying to find a single mom snuggle bunny. Hit up Bass Pro Shops wearing a winter flannel, lots of Brut, and lug around a hunting bow to look hard. It’s free Santa picture season there so if you see a beautiful woman with two little shits then it is game on

@raypaulick Ray, without revealing the associations can you tell us their average load time per race?

Horseplayers, I'm hearing two major racing associations are considering cutting off CAW businesses in all pools when first horse enters starting gate. Add cycle time for those bets to be reflected in odds/will pays, and we'll have a short time to make our post-CAW bets.
