Sa 8th today - 10 F John Henry Turf Marathon - Pace and Cap

Bill Lyster · 09-29-2013, 02:28 PM

This is a grade 2 race and there are 6 graded winners here. Coincidentally, or not, they have the five or six best mile times in the field.

The 3 high weights are the 3-6-8 at 124 and the next 3 are the 2-4-13 at 121. The 5 and 14 have been scratched.

Mile times and positions

1 - SP, 136.0; 4-6-2
2 - S , 138.5; 5-9-6
3 - S , 135.4; 6-4-1 (Grade 2 WINNER)
4 - P , 132.7; 3-2-1 TAKEN FROM MILE RACE, BUT LOOK AT LINE 5; THE 158.3 AT 10F CONVERTS TO SAME 132.7 (3 Gr 1 WINS)
6 - SP , 135.1; 5-6-3 (GRADE 2 WINNERE)
7 - S , 135.6; 7-7-5
8 - S , 134.4; 6-6-3 (GRADE 2 WINNER)
9 - S , 135.7; 7-6-2
10 - SP, 135.6; 4-4-3 Going back farther you see 3-3-3 effort in faster time (Gr 2 WINNER)
11 - P , 1367; 3-3-1
12 - S , 136.4; 6-6-4
13 - E , 133.7; 2-1-3 or use 134.4 AT 1-1-1 (2 Grade 2 WINS)

Slim Shadey gets the lead he needs, Indy time is pressing with maybe the 11 in between them; Kettle Corn is next closest.

My three picks are 13-4-3 and a price horse in Old Time Hockey, the 10.

Good luck to all today,

THX for posting this race Bill...this one is really tough...I came up with 2 of your picks the 3 and 4...but not too sure about the 13....not sure of his current form and wonder if he can get that clear easy lead that he likes...got it down to 5 horses...4 3 8 6 1
