Welcome back to another edition of a end-of-the-week special. Starting off, we have the latest Horses to Watch lists.  As before, updates will be bolded, so let’s get on with the show:

Look for the results of this week’s bevy of Derby Prep races and major Handicap Division stakes to shake up the list next week (yes, I copied / pasted)

G-t-W Shot of the Week – Our three-week win streak was snapped last week when Gold Edition finished fourth in Australia's Gr-I Lightning Stakes.  But as pointed to earlier, we will copt out and take a mulligan, as the grey mare injured herself during the race and had to retired. 

But as promised, we will make up with two Shots this week.  First, Shot A is Tough Tiz's Sis in the Gr-I Santa Maria Handicap.  She's lost a couple of tough ones, but she is the class of the field and should be back in the winner's circle.

Shot B will be the front running Daytona in the Gr-III Fair Grounds Handicap. He will be facing a tough field, but he is on a roll having won three stakes in a row.  Look for him to come through again.

As for Off Topic...

Pedro Martinez - Petey, I don't care if you were invited, if its your culture and if you just hung around doing nothing. By being thre you are condoniming the inhumane and disgraceful practice of c.ockfighting.  I am from PR, and c.ockfighting is legal and part of its culture too, and it does not change my opinion of it.  Shame on you.  And shame on the Mets for their #### statement about it.  I still will follow catch the games as intensly as ever, but that will not lessen my disappointment.

Giants (last post on them until Draft time)- Corey Webster, I take back all the times I said that I wished you were never on the roster. And I take issue with whomever does not agree his shutting down Galloway, TO, Driver and Moss four weeks straight was not one of the greatest one-month periods of DB coverage EVER.  And Plaxico Burress, I will never call you Plexiglass again. Playing all year with an ankle injury so bad that he was never able to practice, then delivering all year, plus turning Al Harris into his #### in the NFC Championship and delivering the game winning SB catch gets you a pass for the rest of your career.
