    Anthony Kelzenberg

    Keenland (4/16/11)

    Race 9: $80 WIN on 5-BRILLIANT SPEED.
    Comments: There is some excellent poly success under the second dam and I like Rosario getting on. This horse has not had the best of trips at Gulfstream.

    Garnet Barnsdale

    Woodbine Harness (4/16/11)

    Race 4: $200 WIN on 3-ANDERLECHT.
    Comments: This horse is known to be ready in his 1st start of the year AND shows two qualifiers at Mohawk with sub 27 second kickers - which I don't believe I have ever seen in my lifetime. Hoping for 2/1, but even 3/2 may be an overlay on this one — seriously.

    Chris Hernandez

    Santa Anita (4/16/11)

    Race 7: $10 WIN on 5-EUROGLIDE.
    Comments: Trained well for his return, looked super schooling on Friday and appears to get a preferable race set-up.

    José D. De León Alejandro

    Oaklawn Park (4/16/11)

    Race 8: $2 WIN on 4-MAY DAY ROSE.
    Race 9: $2 WIN on 7-THE OLE GEN.

    Scott Dick

    Keeneland (4/16/11)

    Race 9: $20 WIN/PLACE on 11-CRISMON CHINA.
