WO R3:

:2:, Solitaire: now or never. If he can't beat this field, they should consider Arabians. But guaranteed Contreras will move him too soon, negating any late run advantage he might have.

:5:, Big Red Mike: begging for a bias -- maybe speed is still holding routing on the AWS.


what a pitiful excuse for a race; and they actually have the NUTS to take it off the turf. WHY? the turf has been like CONCRETE lately. What would running on it now that it's wet do other than HELP loosen it up? Doesn't matter if you have a long stretch if nothing can gain on the speed because the course has no give to it.

Incredible and yet so very predictable when it comes to Contreras. Hard to believe that he still doesn't understand that you can't come to a loose horse on the turn and expect to have your horse in a drive to the wire and get him. It's one premature move after another with him. The dude is just completely devoid of common sense.

ran 5-2

WO R4:

very hittable tri and possibly super

:4:, Carbon Footprint: clear speed. Will be tough to run down. Contreras is up, however; though this is pretty much an idiot proof ride for him: just go to the front

:5:, Tapit's Brew: huge turn run last out; if there's any early action he should be closing strongly

:6:, Thor's Piper: 1st start this year; lightly raced; 7F should suit him; but he's a bit heated up in the paddock per Dawn Lupul. I might replace him with #2, Kings Parade in the 3 and 4 exotics slots


:8:, Lord of Greatness: cost me some money last race when his line broke and he forged to the lead as Medidocihsopurg was taken back and out of the way by Campbell. Figure to get a very nice trip today and is probably the one to beat.

4 just held on for 2nd or the numbers would be significantly better. Can't complain: had the tri and super, using the 5 and 8 on top with the 4 and 6. It's inevitable that, even while playing too many races, I will always find one to crush.

Bel r5:

5 / 1,3,4,7

wow. interesting ride by a top jock, Castellano, on the 5. Did he really need to relentlessly duel around the track with the 1, collapsing the race and almost getting a 60:1 shot home?

ran 3-8-9-7

Wo r5:

5 / 1,4,10

there's an INCREDIBLE speed bias routing on the AWS. how the 11 held on for 2nd is beyond me. and, FINALLY, a heady ride by Contreras, letting the others go at it and last moving the field.

ran 4-11-5-10

WO R6:

between

7, Dancing Raven: stakes winner at distance; plenty of speed in the race; will get nice setup


8, Anywhere: tough knocking filly; hard to see her getting a good trip with all the speed in the race and Contreras up; probably best here but won't get the best trip

5, Swingwiththering: longshot special
