I’ve entered Tavasco Road in Friday night’s 4th race at Los Alamitos. Race is going 4.5 furlongs for a $16,000 purse. I think he’ll do well here in this spot.

Race Recap
Unfortunately not a very good performance from Tavasco Road today. He lost a shoe during the race, but can’t say that really contributed to the poor performance. We’ll regroup and try to get to the bottom of why he’s not finishing strong.

Race Feedback
Overall I’m pretty pleased with Tavasco Road’s performance last night. It was a really tough field for the condition. Jockey Edgar Payeras told me that Tavasco was a little surprised with the quick turn do to cutting back in distance which isn’t uncommon for horses running at Los Alamitos for the first time.
