  9  TAM   The Inaugural Stakes       

$125.000   2yo   6f   Dirt      120lbs +penalties

We head down to Tampa and a group of youngsters that will be going six panels in The Inaugural Stakes.  I doubt that I’ll make it to the track as I always get stuck somewhere between Big John’s Alabama BBQ and the Tampa Bay Brewing Company, but that’s what betting aps are for.  I’m headed to the inside for my selections and put Sincere Chorus on top today.  Both of my picks are from NY races, and this one closed well to just miss in the Atlantic Beach, last out.  Yeah, that was on the green stuff, but he broke maiden on the main track at LAD, so I don’t think surface will play into his form.  It looks like Sunset Speed was a good claim, haltered for $7.000 then ran big when second in the Bongard for NY-bred types.  He’s been out since Sept, so he’s fresh and his works say he’s ready to run a big one.  The Card went in an entirely different directions, so wager with caution.    

Here’s The Field –
