hey

thxs rich for messing me up with this one
yesterday's track was sloppy..dont know if this will stay on Turf

Lets use the 6 & 8 's Nov 30 turf race as projected...

23.5...46.9...111.3...136.8

1) no need to explain..out
2) one bad turf race..out
3) E...key horse for speed duel
4) line 10 Turf slow...out
5) P...can handle pace...in
6) E...pace setter...in
7) p/S..last 3 lines slower pace...out
8) E/P...should be with the 6..in
9) P..off for 14 months..adj 7.5 turfs would be ok...but...out
10) S..lines 7-8-10 Ok..in

3-5-6-8-10

The key is what will the 3 do to pace...if he shows speed..

The tack is muddy and off the turf with the 6 scratched. I think the race is not as tough as it might have been on the turf.

The 3 and 5 are early with the 2 and 4 pressing. I play this track a bit and it can run sustained.

I am going to go with the 10.

Just a few minutes left to post and I see they're off the turf and #6 is scratched. I'll still stick with my initial feeling of OTE and I'll take #4. Good luck guys...
