Nice maiden race.
Watched a few tapes here, Madroos caught my eye a bit. Chased sprint fractions off the rail working hard to keep up, was a bit unfocused turning into the lane, was urged hard left handed and appeared to be going nowhere, but switched leads in midstretch and found another gear, got focused and finished with very nice reach, great route prep and adds lasix. Might get some value too w Franco choosing off. (Franco picking TAP doesn't indicate to me that he necessarily thinks he's riding a better horse and even if he thinks he's picking the better horse, he doesn't have to be right).
Fowler Ave raced well last time, VERY wide and continued on gamely. I haven't seen too many very game horses by this sire, but i liked how this one continued on after massive ground loss and nice turn move. Blinkers on and off now back on again, not sure what that means, but 10-1 ML he can sneak in there, probably a bit better animal than he looks on paper.
Net Gain is going to take lots of play, people are going to love the FTL as well as the blinkers and the 2 prep races, They're also going to love that its a Mott horse which means he was probably brought along slowly and should still have some improvement left in the tank. He lost lots of ground in both career starts, had good kicks both times from tough spots and galloped out pretty well on Nov 19th.
I don't know that the 6 is a better horse than the 1 and my gut tells me the 6 will be a much shorter price.
What do you do with the fancy Pletcher firsters? Tough call. If one of the Pletchers gets bet like he's a star horse, than ill reevaluate my thinking, or probably skip the race.
