Trying a different tack today.
Starting with the last race and working towards the first.
This way, I might miss a couple early races and
save some money!
BTW...the race time favs have done pretty well so far
thru three days.

R10
I'm guessing that with the ML fav out that the speed will be one of the sprinters
stretching out or the #10 MOONSTONE BAY. 'BAY has had two chances from
the cozy inside posts and now draws out where she will have to work early and
keep on working. No like. JUSTLY ROYAL is one of those sucker horses that
just can't quite get it done. Lobo tries blinks today and Victor stays. Maybe.
MISS CHAPIN shows up first time for Frankel. Love the breeding. Maybe.
GIRLSINTHEOFFICE stretches out after the comeback sprint. Turf pedigree
is weak. Maybe. GLASSY stretches out also and tries turf. Like the works
since raced and she's OK for turf (not great). Nakatani subs for Solis. Maybe.

R9
SILVER SCREEN HERO has been in training since February and the work tempo
has picked up in the last month. Jones' barn is doing well. CHEROOT makes
a big barn and rider change. He had worked well before debut. GOLD FALSTAFF
is a sleeper. Decent breeding and my work tab on him goes back to last summer
before he layed up until May of this year. Be careful.

R8
I sure don't like 4/5 when you have all of these lightly raced fillies looking like
they'll move forward. ALPHABET KISSES is really game and has worked nicely since
racing. MARIE'S ROSE figures to be in the catbird seat and Flores should fit her
well.

R7
WHITE CEDAR move forward on the drop. That was an easy win and he goes from
the cozy outside to the rail. Tough proposition but he's worked back well since racing.
HAINT YOU GRAND moves up
off the claim by Marquez and Flores stays. Maybe. ELUSIVE AUSSIE should be
forwardly placed with the blinks back on. He flees the rail, drops and Victor stays.
Maybe. FIERCE KNIGHT drops below the level claimed. He worked and ran well
here last year. Maybe.

R6
LIGHT JIG gives Flores a great catch mount. This one just keeps improving.
MOSCOW BURNING just got beat by 'JIG. She could get a lollypop trip here.
Kent chooses MUSICAL CHIMES and the fall back in distance fits her better.
She just beat DIMITROVA in a team drill.

R5
MR. WISTER drops and shortens after showing speed at 6f. He had worked
well and was 5/2 in debut. A. P. CARSON also showed speed in debut. He
has been rested and gelded (oops) and his works for the comeback race
are better than the works before the debut. He drops and shortens also.
OBTUSE had works prior to the Arlington debut race that make me think
we will see better today. He was 3-1 in that race. He drops a notch. Finally,
HIGH AND LOW VIXEN should get a perfect inside trip and will be rolling
in the lane. He drops too.

R4
DESERT BOOM drops off the vacation and looks to be the lone speed.
Ruis has won with him before. HABANEROS has been gelded since
the April comeback. Eh. Take a look at LOVER MARSHAL on the track.
When Vienna uses the Santa Anita training track a lot, he has something
up his sleeve.

R3
Have to like DIRECT MALE (scratched out yesterday ) off the claim. The horse
that beat him last time won yesterday's night cap. REEF DIVER ran big here
last year off the bench. Same scenario today. LORD FHAZIO gives Victor
a big catch mount with Solis out of action and MACANEO always gives a
big effort on the turf.

Sorry folks....missed the first two today.

I'm not being argumentative, just continuing the convo...

R6
LIGHT JIG gives Flores a great catch mount. This one just keeps improving.
Classwise she is, but the figs have stayed the same(if they can be considered dependable, i know)... Frankel in mind, there's no recent leap in the numbers... will that happen today?
MOSCOW BURNING just got beat by 'JIG. She could get a lollypop trip here.
Yeah, but just can't see her beating both 'Jig & 'Chimes...
Kent chooses MUSICAL CHIMES and the fall back in distance fits her better.
She just beat DIMITROVA in a team drill.
Exactly, plus her initial successes(France) were much superior to her mate's(Ireland)...

Her last two races vs those boys(who would dust any of these), to boot off the layoff and not the best of trips, leads me to guess she's back on her game & in top form.

Will have to swallow a small price for the privilege of guessing correctly though... maybe i should take up poker :p
