“A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!”


Race One: I don’t like: :2: Goodbye Brockley. She looks like a turf horse (in a race that's been taken off the turf) who wants to go another panel or two. :6: Orbolution appears to have gate issues. In a five-panels race the first jump or two is critical. Can’t afford to spot the field three or four lengths. “Good, Good, Good, that’s you, that’s you.” #s: :1:, 4, 3, 7


Race Two: I don’t like: :2: Cats Halo. She moves up from her last; looks like she wants to go longer. :3: Over My Head. The name says it all. :7: Lady Chocolatta hasn’t shown much on a wet track. “Good, Good, Good…” #s: :5:, 1, 4, 6


Race Three: I don’t like: :5: Killbegs Captain. 2nd against weaker. Wants to go longer. Pedigree says more turf than main. :6: Love Your Buttons. Will he race “greenly”? Rudy has a mediocre record with first-time starters. Hard to judge; yet I’m leaning toward not hitting tote. “Good, Good, Good…” #s :1:, :4:, :2:, :3:


Race Four: I don’t like: Declared: #s :2:, :4:, :6:, :9:, :11:. :8: You Promise is hard to recommend as is :1: New York Bourbon. “Good, Good, Good…” #s: :10:, 7, 5, 3


Race Five: I don’t like: Declared: #s :1:, :2:, :3: :8: Sisella appears to be overmatched. :4: Valiant Spirit did win on a wet track, but against weaker. “Good, Good, Good…” #s: :6:, 9, 7, 5


Race Six: I don’t like: Declared: #s :1:, :2:, :5:, :8: “Good, Good, Good…” #s: :6:, 3, 4, 7


Race Seven: I don’t like: :3: Praetereo. He defeated weaker in last. Wet-track record is mediocre. Don’t see this gelding as “a player”. :6: Are We Not Men has done well against lesser company. Steps up to face tougher competition. :7: Paid Admission is stretching out and adding blinkers; yet I don’t see this horse as a “contendah” here. “Good, Good, Good…” #s: :1:, 2, 4, 5


Race Eight: I don’t like: Declared: #s :3: and :7:. :1: More Royalty would appear to be more suited for a sprint. :5: Seeking Paradise is another horse that appears better suited for sprints. "Good, Good, Good.. #s: :4:, 2, 8, 6


Race Nine: I don’t like: Declared: #s: :1:, :3:, :4:, :6:, :7:, :11:. :2: Tweet Street looks overmatched. :8: Sandy Belle drops in for a tag; yet she’s faded badly in her two previous races. Therefore: “Good, Good, Good…” #s: :12:, 10, 9, 5
