RACE 2: :8: GAELICO has been running against much stronger, he's got speed and the cut back from the mile and the big drop can make the difference over this stiff track.

Idiot jockey put the horse in the 7's ass twice down the stretch. Edit: I guess there was an inquiry and those genius stewards ruled no foul

RESULT RACE 2

2nd($3.80)

for me not enough damage to disqualify. The thing I don't understand is how this 4000N1Y that was 0 for 4 on turf has won the race. It's got to be a matter of pharmacy, the $25.000 purse is unbelievable for this nickel animal.

[The Spaniard]

RACE 3: :9: TOO COOL is a well bred/turf bred claimer and should like the green but routing should be his game. :13: US DREAM is a royal claimer out of a winner of the classic Poule des Pouliches (gr.1) (French Guineas), the father US Ranger was a good sprinter in France, and the USA and the 6,5f should be fine if ready.

1st ($6.00) & 3rd

[The Spaniard]

RACE 4: :4: PLEASANT COMMENT won with a speed figure well above the par for that class, and did it coming from a layoff. Maybe something that was wrong had been corrected. Won big showing good tactical speed, something needed here in 2013 meeting.

3rd ($6.80)

definitely there is an early speed bias, the problem is that the winner here was lacking speed in her last 6 races

[The Spaniard]

RACE5: euro :6: COUGARRIDGE shows big bullets, he's loving America and drops from graded stakes competition. :7: JUMP FOR KITTEN is a Wesley Ward cutting back in trip (won a sprint in Saratoga as a 2 year old). Maybe he's a sprinter.

3rd

[The Spaniard]

RACE 6: :7: MORE THAN CLASSIC

[The Spaniard]

RACE 8: speedy :5: RED RONCHO shows many bullets, cuts back from the mile and blinkers on for the first time trying to wire the field over a speed biased turf course. :10: DILLO and :11: CAGE FIGHTER have run well and with good speed.

RACE 9: :4: TILDED LANE has good stalking speed and ran great in Keeneland at this level.Third after a big layoff. :13: MASTER ACHIEVEMENT ran a superb race first time turf up with the pace (91 Beyer) and then haD excuses (stakes and soft conditions).

Missed it by that much!

[The Spaniard]

R10: :11: NEAT PACKAGE is realistically placed here after her Saratoga win and has good tactical speed. :9: SEEKING TREASURE is another well placed after her short head miss in a 100k stakes and she's speedy for the cut back.
