I will be at Los Alamitos Thursday. Haven't been there before, I will get to check out the improvments. I co-own #2 Star Rocker who runs in race 4. It will be his first race for us since we claimed him May 16.

I know that a lot of improvements were put into making Los Al a true Thoroughbred venue. It would be interesting to get your take on the facility, Mule, if and when you get the time.

looks like he runs better on grass than dirt. will you take him to the greate DM 2017 BC track? You know I do not believe in Luck it is being at theright place or wrong place at the right or wrong time. SO STAR ROCKER NEED TO BE AT THE RIGHT PLACE DO NOT LET SERIOUS GET ON TOP OF HIM.
See him at the wire. Don

You don't have to out run Too Fast to Pass, might be fast out of the gate but likes the hearth to keep it going. But Serious has the rigth stuff but he has just found it in his last two races and as long as Star rocket does not let him get on top early ,Star Rocket has what it takes to win. His last race can be over look as long as he is sound because we all have a bad day once in a while.
Don see you in the winner circle.

I hope to be able to watch the race on TVG - today is one of Cameo's training days,though, so my schedule could conflict.

Star Rocker ran a disappointing race as the 3-1 third choice. Prior to the race the trainer and asst. trainer felt he would run well. I guess the plan now is to send him to lesser competition in No California to Sonoma Fair and run him July 30 at 5 furlongs on the turf instead of Delmar. oh well.
Los Alamitos had just under 6000 on opening day but being a small grandstand it looked like more than that. I think Los Alamitos will do well. The home stretch is a looooong one, 1380 ft, I think it is the longest stretch in N America. Plans are to put in a 5 furlong straight turf track.

Shame about Star Rocker, Mule, but maybe the NoCal circuit will suit him better. You're right about the stretch - it is the longest in North America. I watched a few races and you can tell the jockeys are having to learn how to time their rides. I was wondering whether they planned to put in a turf course, but only 5 furlongs? That seems odd.

There is no room for a turf course inside the main track, the turns of the main track are already tight, so the only option is a straight short turf track.
