Race 1: Going with the obvious...Finnegan ran well last time.. adds blinks..should appreciate green. La Nina adds lasix and should like the lawn..local jock hops aboard..Sunshine Life will love the green...upgrade from bug boy to champion jock.
Race 2: Glich has had three in the money finishes this year from five starts..two out three career wins came at today's distance..will be a price. Fish Whistler will appreciate the added ground..throwing out last effort..three back won going away..will be there. Stolen Love... morning line fave is going well right now..will be the one to beat..throwout the last and first start of the year..will thrive in this group.
Race 3: Handsome Charlie was away from the races for a few months..came back on turf to finish off the board..getting lasix for second start off layoff. My Team is going to turf for the well respected Motion Barn..breeding suggest love for the green. Chiropractor is bred for turf up and down..could be good enough to beat up this group.
Race 4: Love this race..many ways to go..I settled on three but could easily add more into the mix. Lysander The Greek is a foreigner getting lasix..horse has done well since stretching out to a mile..first two efforts this year has been good..will get pace upfront. Woodwin W is a More Than Ready runner who has done nothing wrong in first three starts..will tango up on the lead with Bluegrass Singer. Force The Pass is another who has done nothing wrong in three starts..will settle behind first flight and then produce for run.
Race 5: Coup De Grace came back to the races and finished a tired third..will be sharper and stronger for second start of the year. Happy My Way lost to C.Zee last out who I respect alot as a racehorse.. boast a win over course..third start of the year..jock is hot. Souper Knight I expect to come late at them and grab a piece.
Race 6: Hooligan will pop out of there and the daughter of Exchange Rate will do her daddy proud with early lick..broke maiden in small stakes. Smart N Smokin will get nice trip..second start since break..nice record on this course..will track early flight. Justlookatmenow got ambitious last start but was dismissed after dueling up front..needs to sit off pace and make run.
Race 7: This is one of the races I am looking forward to watching and betting. Conquest Bigluck E took a long break after displaying racehorse talent in first two starts...ventured up to Woodbine for a prep and finished third on the fake dirt..will come back to dirt to do damage in this spot..hope the morning line is available when betting rolls around. Donworth has shown his worth after two starts. He has given indications that he will be special in the future..the Preakness dream was dashed in last start but will be ready to fire in this spot. Bold Conquest tackled the American Pharoah group at Oaklawn during his spring campaign...gets away from those types and will be given a much better ride this time around. Outlash maybe something really special..two starts and two nice run..won't ignore Pletcher and Velazquez at a price.
Race 8: This race made me scratch my head a bit.. I settled on Other Cheek which many others will settle on as well...coming off a long break but priors suggest t if ready he will be one to beat..works indicate that he will be on his game. Loves Last Chance has campaign well on the turf..first start this year showed promise and he made some money for outfit last year..this group isn't overwhelming so should be there. Causeworthy has not done anything special on the turf in three try but I am willing to give another shot to a horse that has three in the money finishes from three starts this year. Arrive tried dirt last out after lengthy break..will go back to turf where he had shown promise before.
Race 9: Taking a shot with Emotional Kitten who after a long break came back to show nothing in first start. They are confident o bring the mare in this group and I am going to take that as a vote of confidence. Hard Not To Like is hard not to like in this spot and could easily be the top pick if I wanted to play safe...pickup where she left off in 2014 and will be strong on a firmer course this time around. Watsdachances is coming off break in a strong group but a group that isn't tough to crack...she is campaigned by top outfit and will be ready to roll. Mango Diva takes the trip across the pond and gets lasix..Stevens and working well.
Race 10: Another lovely, challenging betting race on the undercard. I am swinging with Holy Boss...this Asmussen charge reunites with his main pilot...last time won by a length and it was about six lengths back to the third place finisher who campaigns here today...only off the board twice in six starts..should be forwardly placed today and play come catch me if you can. Blame Jim is back to what he wants to do..last time won beautifully..pilot upgrade and sticks at the distance. City Of Vengeance is better than what was shown last out...first two tries were strong on turf..hops to dirt today and if allowed to roll out of there will be tough. Hebronville is a son of Majesticperfection who was a stellar sprinter..this colt needs to roll and get in the fight early...last three works suggest he is probably back on his game.
Race 11: Taking a shot with the layoff horse Joya Real... first start of the year after boasting a nice record last year...works suggest the six year old is in a fighting mood. Ageless could easily have been the top pick..came back off layoff to run a lovely second last out...kept good company in past and will be produced down the lane. Shrinking Violet is another that could have been top pick.. the five year old mare comes in off win in grade two company..will take money at windows and could easily win this. Jewel Of A Cat didn't produce on the yielding turf last time which was a tiring course...will be on the go with Velazquez..jockey/trainer combo scored at a price earlier this week on the turf at Belmont Park..watch out.
Race 12: Another difficult race to pick apart... Up With The Birds was last seen in Japan back in November..since then he has change barns and now is in the capable hands of Graham Motion... if he is ready he can fire with these. War Correspondent is a warrior..last three he ran in graded company..will be finishing under strong urging. Legendary folded last time after making wide move..beat Up With The Birds and Mishwish three back..Prado hops aboard for the ride. Aripeka will appreciate the added ground...will be given a good turf ride by a good grass rider.
Race 13: American Pharoah was special in the Kentucky Derby..he raced wide the entire trip and while he had to run harder than any previous race he was still better than a very good group. He is the class of this field and the jock has done this on a few occasions..he will get the ideal trip and this may prove to be the easiest of the three triple crown races. I dismissed Dortmund in the derby but I won't be a fool twice...suffered first defeat in derby and got away with meager fractions..still I think he is the second best horse in the group and could provide entertainment for his stablemate in the stretch. Danzig Moon is a horse I have high hopes for..he is a little behind in the developmental stage compare to the top two seasoned campaigns...he will thrive with competition and will be stronger in Preakness. I had to find a place for Firing Line...he ran so much better than I thought in the derby..but did he lay it all out on derby day?..how much is left?.he is a fighter and the jock is tough cookie as well.
Race 14: Segovia is the top pick..coming off nice effort..will appreciate the ground. Jigsaw is also entering from a good race..will be there. Double Whammy will go as far as they let him. Jack O Liam will be up close and may have the class to hang around.
