I could not agree with the ROW selection of Noble Indy as the most likely winner anymore. Troubled trip in last, blinks on, should sit a perfect trip, some Bravazo buzz & hope that the Desormeaux clan shows up with bushel baskets full to bet on Jack!
The Risen Star was reminiscent of jugheads on a half mile oval. There wasn’t much running going on..... Bravazo who was 21/1 will be 3/1 today. Look at Lone Sailor and he in the Breeders Futurity & KYJC. LS was a shorter price in both beat him once and had a pair of mishaps to get beat 2 1/2 in the other race. One will be 20/1 the other 3/1, the trainer of the 20/1 is 30% win, 59% in the triple for the meet.
Noble Indy/ Lone Sailor exacta with a small reverse.
Triples & Supers NI on top with LS in the 2,3,4 slots with Bravazo, Hyndford, Snapper Sinclair & Jack. LS on top of NI over the rest for a small saver.
Pick 4:
NO Handicap:
A single with The Player from the fence. Calvin ain’t what he used to be BUT give him the BORAIL, with a pace advantage in a 6 horse field and I’ll stand alone.
The way Rosario has been riding Good Samartin May be coming from Shreveport.
Muniz Memorial:
Against Synchrony big time, I’ve listened to TGJB for too many Spa seminars preaching that unsound horses run well fresh and not back to back. Big effort off the ouchie bench.
Lucullan missed by a neck to Yoshida in the Hill Prince, came out running and looks to be heading in the correct direction at a square price.
Mr. Misunderstood lost a turf sprints worth of ground in his last pair & for some reason Cox’s horses don’t bounce?
Forge has 3 races that win this one by open lengths.
FG Oaks:
Hard to get past the logical ones Classy Act & Wonder Gadot, JJ on the rail makes me press Classy.
Louisiana Derby:
Noble Indy is almost a single, small save with Lone Sailor.
Good Luck,
Frank D.
