Jim Dandy at SAR 7/29/23:

With rain in the forecast today at SAR, especially the second half of the card, going to just focus on the feature race in detail (post time 5:45 pm EDT) in case the rain holds off.

NOTE: I will pass if there is a wet track.

First, picking pace lines:

1 -- May 6

2 -- April 1

3 -- April 8

4 -- July 1

5 -- try both May 6 and April 1

Next, pace matchup:

1 needs the lead, 2 and 3 will press, while 5 and 1 come from off the pace.

4 has the best first fraction, but the question is whether he can hold on, while the 5, and 3 will be closing late, with 3 having the best closing kick. For exotics, can never ignore the ML favorite (2).

Win contenders:

4*-5*/3

Good luck

Recap:

Comes 2-4-5-1, with lots of questionable bumping in the mud in the stretch...
