His wide, stalking trip was not the type that normally wins at the Hallandale oval. Add that to the real possibility of a regression off that rapid debut and he had a right to disappoint. Today, he has a right to rebound for a barn that's been profitable in graded company. The G2 Hutcheson fits that bill.
Taking Little Distorted at 5-1 or greater and key boxing him with the highly consistent Merit Man (3-1), the very promising Forty Tales (4-1), and adding Late running Patacky Kid (12-1) and Honorable Dillon (8-1), who's never regressed in his short career.

JP--
Certainly Little Distorted had a right to bounce off of his eye-popping debut in which he beat the highly regarded Revolutionary. But I’m thinking some of that regression may have been due to the trainer change from the high percentage Michael Mareina barn to Darrin Miller and the switch from Belmont to Gulfstream.
I’m taking the undefeated Forty Tales given Pletcher’s success in Florida and a sentimental pick given the harness breeding connections of the owners......

After perusing the past performances and rubbing my eyes, would have to say your selection has no 5-Merit Man! Believe that is what Chuck was saying in a more diplomatic way. Me, I’ve always been more of a caustic, combative, condescending, contentious, but cuddly kind of guy. Get off that pig before it’s too late JP, I love yah!!!! But I know, at times, this game will get your thinking more than a 4-Little Distorted. I’m still recovering from being taken down yesterday, and rightfully so in that sprint; cost me a pretty penny. When you hot, you hot, when you not, your frigid. On August 29, 2012, was very impressed with 3-Weekend Hideaway’s performances, although perhaps I was not seeing clearly, as the meet was almost over and I begin to cry profusely 10-days before the end until it’s finally over, and can’t see much of anything. Believe people will think open company is too much for him, but I think otherwise. The one thing I will say for your selection is that having Jesus aboard has to mean something, after all he did raise the dead.

so let’s box 3, 4, 5
hey JP,
any way you can get any inside info on a horse I’ve been following? his name is Eton Blue. If he runs well today, will Zito consider the fountain or FlD?
thanks
