Aqueduct: Closer Looks for November 30, 2013

Race 1

Voodoo Tales

Great sign that her 1st start for a new barn and 1st start on AQU Main represents a careeer-best Beyer speed figure; positive 5-pound weight swing from the win over Insolvent; projects for an ideal trip saving ground while stalking the outside speed; the 2-back runner-up Beyered 75 taking an AQU-25K claimer next out; the 3-back winner and runner-up Beyered 81-63 in next-out BEL-25K-claiming and SAR-optional-claiming wins; the pick.

Pinot Grigio

Way off best form in recent losses since the 3-back Beyer Top including latest fade over the track her 1st start on today's oval; projects to race just off the pace then hopes to find a late kick after trying to save ground; off recent races would be a complete surprise.

Darling Bridezilla

Exits her lowest Beyer since January, 2012, 1st time racing over today's AQU-Main oval prompting the new blinkers for this; projects for a midpack trip chasing the outside speed; been best on turf and doesn't let wet tracks which is why were willing to excuse latest loss; the 4-back winner repeated in a SAR-optional claimer with an 84 Beyer.

Rodinia

Was purchased off a high-win percentage trainer which is not a good-win angle; figures to race midpack then make one run; major-class test here off the win when front wraps came on for the 1st time ever; has not raced with this light-weight assignment since November, 2011.

House On Toilsome

Does not project to be close to the leaders in the early going hoping someone goes after Insolvent hard from the gate to enhance her late punch; while her 1st race off the claim was not her best effort it prodcued an exacta finish her 3rd in the 4 last starts; last victory was in the mud; the 3-back winner repeated in an AQU-optional claimer with a 90 Beyer; beat the 4-back show runner an 83 Beyer BEL-OPC next-out winner.

Imanindianoutlaw

Figures to be in the pace mix with Insolvent or should not be too far back of that one from the gate; claimed off a high-win percentage trainer which is not a good-win angle; the only race on today's AQU-Main oval was a winner but defeated a lot lesser and gets the class test for a new trainer an icy 1-for-24 at the current meet.

Insolvent

Projects to own the best-gate speed here as the one to catch and beat; her field-best Beyer was a gate-to-wire score on turf at today's distance; picks up 5 pounds off latest loss to Voodoo Tales; has been claimed 3 times since August so must be a good-looking filly on the race track as well.

Make Me a Prophet

Figures to setup just outside of the speedy Insolvent then get 1st run on the closers; 50 days since the maiden breaker for a sizzing-AQU barn; the 1st start facing winners is often any runner's toughest assignment; the 3-back runner-up graduated next out in a MTH alw. with a 72 Beyer then repeated in a MTH optional-claimer with a 78 speed figure.

Rock Show

Likely to be last in the early stages hoping for a pace meltodown; was claimed by a trainer 0-for-5 since 2012 first off the buy; win rider from 2 of last 3 starts sides with Make me a Prophet; all-or-nothing during career with 3 wins and 8 off-the-board finishes; will be taking a wait and see apporach for the new barn.

Hundred Acre Wood

Late runner has been away 93 days since finishing last in a key race; the runner-up and 5th-place finishers from last both Beyered 76 in next-out BEL-optional-claiming wins; the win rider lands on Make Me a Prophet for this; 4-0-0-0 record since the April-Mile win; the last time racing this short was an even finish; ground-losing trip likely breaking widest; others appeal more.

Race 2

Full of Sugar

Solid showing first time out and she may be on or near a softer pace today; her undefeated sire won multiple G1s and 749K while the dam was unraced; among the winning siblings is 182K bankroller To the Brim.

Dame Dorothy

Very fine gate workout a week should have her primed and ready; her sire won multiple G1s on the NYRA circuit while netting 3.06 million (progeny of Bernardini have won 12 percent of their debuts); the dam was 1 for 1 earning 8K; sib to G1 Mrs. Lindsay, winner of 1.2 million.

Fade to Black

Her most recent workout was one of her best; the sire won multiple G1s and 5.15 million; offspring of Street Cry have scored in 27 out of 321 initial starts; the dam was zero for 2 and this is her only foal to make it to the races.

Paddle Board

Closed with a rush in her Laurel maiden voyage despite an extra-wide trip; her sire won multiple G1s and 3.63 million; the dam was without a tally in 3 attempts; sib to 895K earner Mendip; blinker addition can get her into the race sooner.

Tizarocket

Ignore the race over the lawn, the previous effort (at today's distance) was very sharp; reverts to the apprentice who was aboard for that effort and the latest training track breeze was upbeat; appears nicely positioned today.

Star Magnolia

Beginner hails from G1 victor Flower Alley who captured 2.53 million and whose descendants have won 12 out of 174 debuts; the dam never raced; among the winning siblings is 262K earner Morner.

Colonel Juanita

Upgraded when trying the main track for the first time recently; her sire won the G1 Travers and 1.77 million; the dam involved did not race; among the winning sibs is 47K earner Silent Sister; a rapid early pace would help her cause.

Lift

Firster was sired by multiple G2 winner Pulpit who notched 728K (his descendants have won 74 out of 617 initial starts); the dam did not race; there are no winning siblings to mention; evenly spaced a.m. drills are a plus.

Sea Trial

Much trouble in her first run; her sire won the Breeders' Cup Juvenile and 1.31 million in total; the dam won multiple G1s and 1.95 million; winning siblings include 51K earner Colors Flying; cannot discount in this wide-open affair.

Race 4

Mister Dooley

Like the idea of this gelding getting back over turf after trying dirt in his latest outing and the winner from his latest race returned to win next out here on 11/23 going 7f in a 125k stakes with a 94 Beyer.

Captain Gaughen

Not sure what to expect from this multiple stakes placed colt as he displayed some solid turf form earlier in the year but he just hasn't been able to find his best in his recent starts; not going to be surprised if he runs well in here, but he does have a little bit of a shaky look to him.

Irish Jade

His two most recent races have been a couple of his better performances but this late running 3-year-old might be better off at distances shorter than today's 1 1/16m assignment; leaning toward others.

Summer Place to Be

Sire wins with approximately 13% of his turf starters and this is the first foal from a dam who was winless from one start, and it was a turf start; he's shown some ability in his first three starts and the winner from his latest race returned to win next out here on 11/23 going 7f in a 125k stakes with a 94 Beyer.

Professor Chaos

Not wild about the 1-for-26 race record and it looks like this colt is going to have to produce his sharpest performance to date in order to have a say in the outcome; third place finisher from latest was dq'd from first in his next start here on 11/13 going 1m over turf vs. 30-35k claimers, and he earned an 81 Beyer.

Sun Worshipper

Sunriver has been a poor influence as a turf sire, but this gelding deserves his share of respect based on what he's shown racing over turf with the addition of Lasix; like to see that he ran well at today's distance at Saratoga.

Holy Endeavor

He's the only one in here who can boast of having three wins next to his name, and all three of those wins have been earned racing over turf, including a start at today's distance; runner-up from latest returned to win next out here on 11/22 going 6f vs. 12.5k N2L claimers with a 60 Beyer.

Campogiovanni

He ran well when breaking his maiden two starts ago, a race that saw him get the better of today's rival Sun Worshipper, and perhaps he'll be ready for better in his second attempt against winners; he's one of two signed on in here for the Bond barn and note the presence of Saez.

River Tune

He's been a very consistent performer since moving into this barn, and have to respect the presence of Castellano, but he does look like the type that is quite content to settle for a minor award; also, he looks like another in here who's probably better off sprinting than routing.

Mr Algebra

Of the horses in the main body of this race, he boasts the best last race Beyer Speed Figure, and it's tough to ignore anything that is coming out of this barn at the moment; perhaps the fact that he was 1-for-25 heading into his latest start is a reason to question him as he tries to make it two straight, but have to respect him as a contender.

Native Singer

Summer Place to Be can prove to be tough to deal with if this race has to be taken off the turf, but this gelding was a sharp winner in breaking his maiden in his latest outing, and this really wouldn't be a bad spot for him to meet up with winners for the first time.

Wise Guide

He finished behind today's rival Saturday Appeal in his latest outing and this gelding will need to find a way to take his game to another level in order to get the job done in this spot.

Saturday Appeal

He brings some early speed with him and he nearly equaled a career best Beyer Speed Figure in his latest outing when recording a solid runner-up finish; going to look in another direction for the top spot but he's worthy of consideration underneath in the exotics.

Mike and Rob

He looks like he'd be more of an interesting option to consider if he was entered to run in this race over turf, and it's just tough to give him a favorable push when seeing what he's done in his two dirt attempts.

Chrisandlorisposse

He never faced a challenge in a gate-to-finish score to break his maiden in his latest outing and this looks like it might prove to be a tough spot for him to test winners for the first time; Maragh has won with 9 of 27 (33%) mounts for this barn in 2013.

Alcolite

He's shown the ability to dial up a pretty decent performance on his best day, and if he does feel up to one of his better performances, his best race is strong enough to get him into the mix against these; winner from latest returned to win next out here on 11/23 going 7f in a 125k stakes with a 94 Beyer.

Race 5

Ironicus

Distorted Humor has hit with 17% of his juvenile debuters in a 352-horse sample; sire did not race at 2, won debut at 3, was a multiple Grade 2 winner; 4 for 18 dam earned nearly $130K, won once at 2; 6 of 7 siblings won; 1 cashed at 2, 5 earned over $200K including over $325K earner Minister's Joy; rail no bargain for young horse.

Justin Nguyen

Cuts back with shades off; lack of speed is a genuine concern; No help from lone half sister that lost 3 times; a couple of blowouts of late suggests trainer is trying to get some speed into him; with what he has shown so far, look for him late if at all.

Village Warrior

Pretty nice debut considering the slop being kicked in his face; love the spacing of the return drills; 4 for 29 dam earned about $170K, was 0 for 5 at 2; one of 3 siblings won; that runner took 2 sprints as older horse; got a feeling we have not seen the best of this one.

Scotland

He did everything but get unsaddled to kick it off and Dutrow a monster with second shooters; dam was unraced; all 4 siblings won, 2 cashed at 2, one banked almost $100K; all systems go.

Juba

Tapit has hit with 13% of his juvenile debuters in a 289-horse sample; sire was unbeaten in 2 juvenile starts, banked over $550K; dam won once routing as older horse; several multiple race winners in the tree, a couple cashed at 2, top kin Saint Anddan took a G2, earned nearly $425K; cut out to be any kind.

All My Memories

Colt has trained forwardly for this accentuated by the blowout last Tuesday; Grade 2 winning dam earned nearly $270K, lost twice at 2; lone half sis to race lost 5 times; grinder needs things to break just right.

Private Label

Empire Maker about 9% with juvenile debuters in a 152-runner survey; sire took debut at 2, won Belmont on way to near $2 million wallet; 5 for 29 dam earned over $225K, didn't go at 2, took 2 stakes; this is her first to race; he does look fit enough.

Etisalaat

Between foes early, never a comfortable spot for a young horse; dam took one route as older horse; 2 of 3 siblings won including juvenile debut winner and near $130K earner Fastongrass; drawn better and you must respect this kind of speed.

Surfing U S A

Almost was hanging ten in the debut when over 3 clear; G3 winning 4 for 18 dam earned over $200, won once at 2; the lone sibling to win cashed once routing as older horse; the one to deny.

Jimmy Soul

City Zip about has hit with 17% of his juvenile debuters in a 332-horse sample; sire won 5 times at 2, earned over $725K sprinting; G2 placed 3 for 13 dam earned over $100K, took debut at 2; all 3 siblings won; one raced at 2 to no avail; top kin Truc's Love earned over $200K; nothing wrong with that gate spin 8 days ago.

Monopolize

Bernardini about 12% with juvenile firsters in a 121-runner sample; sire didn't run at 2, won his 2nd career start with a 90 Beyer, won $3 million; SW 5 for 23 dam banked nearly $300K, was third in only try at 2; 4 of 5 siblings won; top earner Imperial Council won at 2, was 2nd in the Peter Pan, banked over $250K; future bright for this youngster.

Sean and Matt

Rockport Harbor has hit with 11% of his juvenile debuters in a 192-horse sample; sire took debut at 2, took a G2 at 2, banked almost $325K; dam was unraced; several multiple race winners in the clan; 2 won debuts at 2; top kin Dream of Summer took a G1 on way to over $1.1 million career; colt seems to have speed.

Read the Mirage

Forestry about 13% with juvenile debuters in a 294-runner grid; sire didn't race at 2, took a Grade 1; SP 4 for 28 dam earned nearly $150K, won once at 2; 2 of 3 siblings won, neither was special; may need softer to shine.

Hereditary

Medaglia d'Oro has won with about 13% of his juvenile debuters in a 197-horse sample; sire was 2nd in only juvenile out beaten just over 2 at TP with a 81 Beyer, went on to earn over $5.7 million; dam took BC Distaff, earned over $1.3 million, didn t go at 2; 2 of 3 siblings won; neither at 2 but one banked nearly $185K; homebred may want more real estate down the road.

Race 6

Got Lucky

Maiden tests graded rivals and part of the appeal of this afternoon's Demoiselle could be its mile and an eighth distance; she's bred to shine at the trip, and it gives her more recovery time were she to again get off to a slow start as she did in her debut that came in a one-turn mile race at Bel; dam was a winner at 2; one who can share.

Lexi Morgan

She meets winners for the first time following a smart maiden special weight score over the local strip; picks up more ground on the move from a mile to a mile and an eighth, and is bred to appreciate the added real estate; daughter of Arch is a half-sister to Hudson Steele, a Grade 2 winner of $513K; another who can share.

Penwith

She could set the pace in this spot; she makes the move to nine panels off a wire-to-wire win in a one-turn mile at Bel; the victory came against maidens, and while she will be facing winners for the first time in this spot, she comes packing the field's best last-race Beyer Figure; dam was a multiple Grade 1 winner of $731K whose resume includes the Santa Anita Oaks; this one is also a half-sister to a pair of Grade 1-placed winners, Tranquil Manner ($239K) and Centring ($379K); promising sort a leading contender.

America

She's another facing winners for the first time and she comes at these fresh, as the race will be her first start since Oct. 9; is bred to appreciate the added ground as a daughter of A.P. Indy, and note her dam was a stakes-placed winner of $85K; also note that she will be first Lasix; might get a tracking trip behind Penwith and Stopchargingmaria; contender.

Mlle. Minuit

She added Lasix last out and landed in the winner's circle, taking a maiden allowance at Bel; the score came against statebreds, but the manner in which she won makes her interesting as she could close if the tempo gets too hot between a few of these; one who could share.

Stopchargingmaria

She's the class of the field as a Grade 3 winner of $308K who also has placed in a pair of Grade 1 stakes; the test facing her would seem to be distance as this will be her first start beyond a mile; dam, who was a two-time stakes winner, was 4-for-11 in dirt routes; might get ideal tracking trip off Penwith, and is proven over the track at Aqu; the one to beat.

Race 7

Flash Forward

Major-weight break getting a 5-pound positive swing in the weights from Wedding Toast for the rematch; back to 9F the distance of her stakes win and career-best Beyer speed figure in August; looms for a midpack ground-saving trip hoping someone goes after Sheer Drama in the early stages to help set up her late punch; in July defeated the show runner a next-out 75 Beyer speed figure MTH-optional-claiming winner.

Wedding Toast

Projects to break close early to the lead while saving ground from this inside draw; the 2-back romp is a field-best Beyer performance; one race going this far was a gate-to-wire winner then learned how to rate in latest; gives 1 pound to Sheer Drama in the rematch while a negative 5-pound swing to Flash Forward for this.

Teen Pauline

Last win was just off the lead and figures for a similar trip here; has yet to run back to her career-best debut Beyer at 4F shorter than this stretching out to her longest-distance test ever for this; new rider in from California for this ride adds to the appeal.

My Happy Face

Grade 3-stakes winner in her only race over the track; last win was just off the lead and figures for a similar trip here; 10 weeks since outfinished at shorter; getting 9F seems a big obstacle; her 3-back race at today's distance saw her chase the winner who captured 2 Grade 1s in her next 2 starts (105-98 Beyers).

Marathon Lady

Positive 4-pound weight swing from the 2-back loss to My Happy Face as they face the winner who took her next 2 starts both G1s (105-98); best form when racing or or near the lead but has her work cut for her chasing Sheer Drama from the gate; the 3-back winner repeated in a PRX-G1 with a 92 Beyer.

Sky Girl

Figures to set up outside chasing Sheer Drama to the front; best Beyer was on a synthetic surface when flashing gate speed at today's distance but is on dirt again today; no stamina in latest at shorter and hasn't won past 1 Mile; her 7F-maiden breaker saw her beat the runner-up finisher a 69 Beyer next-out CD-MSW graduate.

Sheer Drama

Try to catch me; projects to be on the lead; adds blinkers for the 1st time trying to knock off Wedding Toast; lone race at today's distance was a win over the runner-up who Beyered 94 in her next-out BEL-MSW win; the July winner and show finisher posted 83-79 Beyers in next-out SAR-MSW and OPC wins; the debut winner won her next 2 races (74-77 Beyers) including the G2 DEL Oaks.

Galloping Giraffe

Zero-gate speed to speak of and will need someone here to go after Sheer Drama early to help her late punch; has more than 14 lengths to make up on Wedding Toast from the 2-back loss; her June-maiden-claiming graduation was validated when the runner-up captured her next 2 races in 60K-35K claimers (75-69 Beyers).

Toasting

Saved best for last at 7F noting in her last race at today's distance she was no match for Flash Foward; likely races far back in the early stages in hope of a pace meltdown; came out of nowhere with latest win and perhaps she's been a sprinter all along?; have her ranked a notch below the top contenders at 9F.

Street Girl

Projects to race midpack then make one run; was also entered Friday at 8-1 morning-line odds in the 300K-G2 Go For Wand Handicap at the shorter-Mile distance on AQU Main; her career-best Beyer was on a wet-race track the only time during career she competed on a less-than-fast oval doing a rain dance for this.

Race 8

Praetereo

Gray finally broke through with a big one when dropped and cut back to sprint in his local return, earning the first triple digit Beyer of his career in the process; 5 year old will face a pretty tough test on the slight stretchout here and don't know that the inside draw is going to do him many favors; respect the barn's ability to keep moving them forward but even in his current form this guy looks to have his work cut out for him in this spot.

Forty Tales

He's another who enters this off a career best number but he's had a little longer to get over that big placing in his Belmont finale; sophomore was pretty good against his peers earlier in the year and maybe stretching out a bit helps him today; he's been defeated by one of today's foes in each of his last 3 starts, but have to like the new found early interest he showed last time and maybe that proves key as he tackles this tough bunch.

Clearly Now

New shades did the trick for this sophomore as he shattered his previous Beyer high in beating older in his first try against them; colt has had his stamina issues in 2 turn routes but the way he ran last time certainly gives the indication that an added panel would be no problem and the barn does stretch them out well.

Groupie Doll

Mare proved her critics wrong in taking the Breeders Cup Filly and Mare sprint for the second straight year and now she'll attempt to grab the local prize that eluded her by a nostril last year; sold since the big last out score, her new ownership leaves the trainer/jockey combo intact as she stretches out a panel while taking on the boys today; they often take a step back while returning off a score on racing's biggest day, but this talented mare looms dangerous from off the pace once again.

Laugh Track

Shipper missed just a neck in the Breeders Cup Sprint while facing a field that was loaded with speed and set up quite well for him given his style; he's quick enough to sit within striking range of the pace early and the added trip shouldn't pose him much trouble, but just don't know that he's good enough to step with some of these; have to side with others on the win end.

Capo Bastone

Deep closer didn't take so well to the lawn on Breeders Cup Saturday and had little impact against those quick sprinters; barn's second runner in here was sharp in taking the G1 King's Bishop upstate this summer, but everything fell right for him in that quick paced heat and he's likely not as good as that number indicates; added ground can certainly help but others look to have a better shot in here.

Saratoga Snacks

New York bred has been pretty good in his limited tries against restricted stakes runners this year and now he'll tackle G1 foes; maybe the cut back helps as he may well be best at this one turn mile trip, but his pilot will get off and his barn has been blanked at the local stand; these look to be a little too much for him.

Goldencents

Worked hard from the bell over a speed biased racetrack but was still pretty impressive in taking the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile on the engine earlier in the month; sophomore will try a one turn trip today, but he's well capable of handling the new configuration and the presence of his uncoupled mate will allow Bejarano to attempt to take a good hold of him early in his first local spin; Breeders Cup winners are often a solid 'play against' in their subsequent start and he'll spot them all weight, but this guy continued to work well before leaving his Santa Anita base last week and looks to be the one to hold off.

Flat Out

Gelding has tailed off this fall, but the fact that a horseman like Mott keeps this 7 year old in training rather tan send him to bench suggests he has a good one left in him this year; 3.1 million earner has been competing at longer trips recently, but his career best Beyer came at a flat mile at Belmont in the spring and the clip should certainly be quick enough to set up his run; with a solid Payson Park breeze in tow and a likely solid price offered he warrants a good look.

Verrazano

Went into the Kentucky Derby undefeated and came out of the sloppy heat a flawed runner; he returned to run some nice ones before his trouble with a 10 panel trip reared its head again at Saratoga and maybe entering the Breeders Cup Dirt Mile fresh wasn't in his best interest; he does have a right to be better with that one behind him and the barn's third runner in here is working like he's ready for an improved try in his return to a track over which he's a G1 SW; maybe he's able to track and finish from out here at a much improved price.

Private Zone

He's a G1 SW sprinter tackling added ground after tiring from his pace chasing run in the speed heavy Breeders Cup Sprint; barn's second runner in here will ship cross country for the second time in 2 months for this and his mission seems to be pretty clear as they'll likely send him to the top to take them as far as he can go; trip is a question, but it looks like they'll have to run him down to win.

Race 9

Noble Moon

Hung out to dry in the stakes debut but he still ran very hard; this race has been won by some nice horse over the years like Pleasant Colony, Java Gold, Go for Gin, and Thunder Gulch over the years; nice foundation mile move last Saturday should have helped the stamina and like the way he was inching toward the winner in last; with quick run to the first turn, don't be shocked if the rider is very aggressive early here.

Master Lightning

Bothered early in the first two starts but he came back to earth in a thud in the Nashua; Pletcher looking for that deja vu feeling as his student Overanalyze was coming out of a third in a Grade 3 at Churchill but got a solid 2-hole trip to win by a nose with a 99 Beyer; bringing the lowest last-race Beyer to the party not an enviable thing; passing.

Afleet Accompli

He was left with too much to do being 11 back in last; educated in the debut, he has been pretty solid since; not sure he was beating anybody in Philly; the place horse in the win returned to run a distant third; blowout last Monday should have him on his toes; would expect him in the picture late if at all.

Honor Code

Hung out to dry in the stakes debut but he still ran very hard; the Champagne was a super race considering Havana came back and looked like a winner in the BC Juvenile before being inhaled by New Year's Day; the blood is there for him to thrive as kin Noble Tune took a Grade 2 and banked nearly $500K; chalk it up to doing the right thing for the horse here as connections passed on the Breeders' Cup for this race; this trainer explains, Shug: "The major part of that decision was that we just want to have a nice horse next year. We just felt like taking a young one out there that's only run two times, especially one we have a lot of high hopes for, might not be in the best interests of the horse"; the one to beat.

Mental Iceberg

Gameness was there for all to see in the eventful debut; he just tried until he got the job done; 3rd and 4th finishers in bow took MSW events next out and the 10th finisher took a maiden $15K FL event; he has a shot to take to the surface as the lone sibling did win a dirt route; still would be careful here.

Matuszak

Colt refused to loss in the debut as Mott tries to shake him up with the blinks; class comes from the bottom side as dam won a Grade 3 and banked nearly $300K; colt can be his own worst enemy since he has been conceding so many lengths early on; he did catch a promising horse last time, must prove in the stakes debut but old Oakland Raiders fans do have a vehicle here.

Wicked Strong

Considering the slop and the clear winner, the debut was not all that bad; like the series of drills since the last effort and he was coming away a little late in last; was he beaten by anybody in the debut?; that's questionable as the 9/21 winner was beaten over 16 next out in the Nashua.

Intense Holiday

He got a boost when the Breen runner graduated and then ran okay vs. winners; note he only did beat the 5 foes at the shore and he was losing ground late that day; handled pretty easily in the Champagne and although he was wide last time, runner must pick it up.

Cairo Prince

Nice ride last time; Saez opened up and made the others commit, then had enough left in the tank; no shock he can run some as dam took a couple of stakes and banked nearly $250K; like the way he settled last time and you can make a case that he could get a nice trip here, maybe right off of the rail with first run on the others; after his last race, McLaughlin's assistant had this to say to Bloodhorse, Arthur Magnuson: "there was a strong headwind down the backside. We thought he'd be pretty close, but you worry at the five-sixteenths pole about how much he has left after he's made a run into that wind. Of course, you're also excited about the Remsen (gr. II) and Florida and next year in May"; can't fault those that stick with perfection.
