Daily Racing Form:
Navarro, Servis, others arrested Monday face up to 10 years on federal conspiracy charges
[...]
A person who has experience in federal prosecutions of the nature outlined in the indictments who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to his position in the racing industry said that the information contained in the indictments – and the fact that many of the individuals on the other side of intercepted phone calls were unnamed – indicated that the investigation is still ongoing. According to the person, the federal government is likely to spend the next two weeks attempting to reach plea bargains with some individuals to provide testimony against others, including those not already indicted.
“This is just the starting point,” the person said. “This is going to get ugly. It really will.”

Maximum Security moved to Baffert's barn
Maximum Security moved to Baffert's barn
Maximum Security, the 2019 3-year-old champion and recent winner of the inaugural $20 million Saudi Cup, will be moved to trainer Bob Baffert in the wake of the indictment of the horse’s trainer, Jason Servis, co-owner Gary West said in a statement released early Tuesday morning.

Oneloveonelife debuting on Saturday for the other syndicate I'm involved with.
Tough ask for him as he's straight into a Group 3 race at Wyndham (R7) and up against some tidy Canterbury types (he's trained in Southland). Best case scenario would be for him to sneak into a placing after being saved for one run. He's at 21s and 3.30 which is entirely fair.

Caulfield to run without spectators or owners tomorrow.

@Hooroo I saw something earlier where they were claiming the owners were pulling her as all thier friends/family couldnt be there to watch?

Yeah I dont really know if they'd do that. Would be a ridiculous reaction really.

Melody into $4.40
Can still get north of $5 a few places with boost but as low was $4.20. The juicy $2 for the place is long gone.
If its not wet tomorrow and AB keeps drifting and gets out beyond $3 I could be tempted to have a good go at it. I think late money will come for it, well I did when there was gonna be people on track, not sure it will move quite the same now. Will be interesting to see

With so little sports on offer (read: pretty much SFA) maybe the horsies will draw some extra eyeballs this weekend. I’m going to look at the PPs at Rosehill and Caulfield. Might not bet, just watch.
Keeping my eye on PROBABEEL in the Phar Lap Stakes (R5 Rosehill) — Kerrin Mcevoy is up, Opie is away (see below) — and although I expect to see SILVIA’S MOTHER and POHUTUKAWA battling in the Coolmore Classic (R7 Rosehill), I might take a flyer on 40-1 OCEANEX .
Of course, most of my interest will be on Opie aboard MELODY BELLE taking on ALIGATOR BLOOD in the $5M All Star MIle (R7) at Caulfield.
-
The fields have scratchings, don’t see her listed as a scratch.
-
Nah there is no way they would have pulled AB.
The big issue was that the owners wife is terminally ill with cancer and this was supposed to be a big thing for him and her. Sounds like they are in a private room not on track but overlooking the track.

Regal Power and Superstorm look tantalyzing at 13-1. They gotta come down, shurely. I rate both good chances to win, probably take them Melody + Aligator + Kolding in my Pick 4. Deeper than I want, but it’s an excellent field. Probably throw in Fierce Impact as well, and really shorten it in the other three legs. I’ll have to if I want a wallet left, and there I went starting the weekend telling myself to hold off the wagering.
And geeze, can Streets of Avalon get an extra furlong? Looked mighty taking out the G1 Futurity wire-to-wire last start, 7 furlongs on the same course, lots of fight in that horse, and opening 51-1. I’ll pass but could look like a fool here.

Saved for one run, but they walked up front so he struggled to make any ground in the straight. Wasn't disgraced on debut though, so that's fine.

I've only got roughies all day, most in the 20-30 range.
I'll either clean up or go broke.

I played the exacta. Just waiting to see what it pays. ($143 for a dollar. I’ll take it.) I should have played the tri. Melody Belle, I think, grabbed 3rd... (Did. 0.60 cent tri paid $361.40. Ouch.)
Did Aligator Blood even make the top ten? Had the lead briefly at top of the straight, took over from Flit who tried to steal the race, but Aligator was passed quickly by the winner and just faded.
-
@Salacious-Crumb Nice.
I followed JK's thought on Streets of Avalon, but just for a place.
The TAB still got richer.
-
The $2 exacta for the Coolmore Classic at Rosehill paid $1594.10. My goodness.
