Preliminary Overview.

The area is in a flash flood watch and it is raining.

Asmussen's entrant #6 Say it Ain't Soni apparently has only one speed which is to quote the Moody Blues GO NOW! It could be this one is in to complicate some of the other front runners races.

Especially those coming from OP where early speed and position were so critical to winning. E.G., #4 Mr. Wireless, #5 Warrant, #10 SuperStock. The Cox trainee having IMO the best chance of surviving the first 6F melee, but without enough punch to win.

The beneficiary could be coincidently Asmussen and #1 Scarred by #1 sire Into Mischief. Not a deep closer yet possessing a ferocious late kick and proven on an off track. Steve & Stewart a formidable duo, statistically.

Just a preliminary overview. Looks like a great race. What the hell is Bob Hess doing in here?

Oh, trainer Hess has the favorite in the eighth. Do several horses probably ship for about the same cost as one? Turf is yielding with 11 minutes to pst?
