With the 8 scratched, the 4 is the early horse who is capable of going very fast. Then, the 3,5, and 7 come in a presser role. In a race like this where there is a lead horse capable of carrying his speed to the stretch call, my choice is a sustained horse. The sustained horses are the 1, 2, and 6. The 6 is too slow. The 2 is more of a sustained presser who was beaten by the 1 in the met mile (besides, I never forgave the 2 for beating Calif Chrome in the Belmont Stakes!).

The 1 is my choice to win the race.

I like Pressers who don't have to get caught in the front end of it. #3 and #2 fit that bill nicely (sorry Moreno ).

My picks: #3 Noble Bird (at a nice price), and #2 Tonalist.

Good luck!

Ted

Oh yeah I forgot Ted, Moreno is your horse! He may never forgive you.

Tim laid it out beautifully after the 8 was scratched. I'm not sure if I would have done anything differently or not with the scratch. Gandalf called the sustained run. Raceman keeps pulling it off with his singular focus on recent tandems.

He must be doing more than that? Can't be that simple? Keeps putting them up though.

Congrats on the nice price gentlemen.

That ball-frosting loss puts the icing on the cake for a forgettable week for me. I am not even going to think about horse racing until Monday...at which time I will post the Challenge results.

Til Monday
