I was hoping you can work the race and give us your opinion
I realize its a turf race with quite a few Euro's Not a great race for you.
I would appreciate if you could run through the pacelines

The PP's are in this thread

Here are my thoughts

H1 No lines in North America
H2 Spring Quality Scratch
H3 Almanaar LIne 1 is a Hi class OC win. Same distance Belmont Turf
H4 Divisidero Scratch
H5 Century Dream Euro
H6 Catcho En Die No line 20/1
H7 Twenty Four Seven No Line 30/1
H8 Money Multiplier Eith Line 1 or 2 Both are graded Stakes win lines One is 11 furlongs line 2 is 9 furlongs.
H9 Deauville Euro
H10 Robert Bruce Line 1 is a trouble line "bumped" He did make two moves
and finished 6th but beaten by less than 2 lengths
Line 1 Is a plus line but 98 days ago. It was his first race in North America
H11 Oscar Performance Line 1 is a plus grade 3 win

Hi Bill,

Sure. No problem.
Like you said, this is not a race I would look at for the reasons you mentioned among others.
As the old saying goes, “I wouldn’t touch it it with a ten foot pole”.
Anyway, here are my horses/lines.

#1 – NO LINE. ML=30/1 and EURO with no N American lines
#2 – SCR
#3 – Last line. A “+” race. First race back after 482 layoff in an Optional Claimer. Hardly a Grade 1 race.
#4 – SCR
#5 – NO LINE. EURO horse with no N American lines
#6 – NO LINE. ML=20/1
#7 – NO LINE. ML=30/1
#8 – Line 2. A “+” race. Last line distance is 11f.
#9 – NO LINE. No recent N American lines.
#10 – NO LINE. Last race is a “0” line and only race in the last 90 days. If the last race was a “trouble line” that would take me beyond 90 days to go to line 2.
#11 – Last line. It is a “+” race.
