Only 1/2 hr until R1.
Looked at the first 3, and, so far the only thing I see is in R2, Thermopylae looks to have a pace advantage (like that PA?) over this bunch. At 5-1 (we'll never get that) I'll go there.

RR.. If #2, Thermopylae WINS I will treat you to Dinner4Two...
at the Arby's of your choice. Pace Advantage or NOT .... I think
he has a Near Zero Chance of Winning this race. Although I'm
not playing this race, I would guess the Winner is among the
#1,2,4 .... hehe

Another mystery race with #6 Tafaseel as the 1st time starter Fav. Maybe yes/maybe no, but I will play a few exactas using
#9 Platitude as my Key. I'm poolside watching the races & I
need action NOW. hehe

Thermopylae never made the lead until coming off the turn.

Problem for me was that he was softened up enough that he couldn't hold 2nd after the bet-down Joshua's Jet rolled by, so my $40 place bet hit the toilet. That play was prompted by 40% of the place pool being on the #1 that had a perfect tracking trip last time from a cozy post, couldn't get the job done and lugged out in the lane. The inside draw and extra distance couldn't help him....and didn't.

Didn't beat the 6 or 5, but I did beat the 1, 2 and 4! Your money's safe D2U!

My personal betting line for the race:

6 Orientate 3-1
3 Texas Glitter 5-1
8 Echo Eddie 6-1

I will bet at or above those odds.

Side note: #7 Say Florida Sandy has recorded 37 100+ Beyer Speed Figures, that is just sick!

This race stinks .... Orientate @ 6:5; 2 speed horses were scratched. Whether O wins or not 1 thing is for sure: his
workouts are crap, not like a speedster at all. Maybe #2,
Multiple Choice will close against #6. My complaint is only
that the race isn't competitive enough.
