This Donk 2nd time starter is stretching out to 8.5F on the turf tomorrow, race 5, SAR
It's a NY BRED maiden affair and there are a ton of 1st time starters in the race (including an entry by Pletcher and Donk).
I typically have no (betting) interest in races of this sort (too many 1sters and don't typically care for horses stretching from sprint to route on the turf) but it need be pointed out that
QOP put in a decent effort 1st out against a runaway Pletcher 1ster in OPEN maiden company: broke out and bumped hard with the horse to her outside, raced wide throughout, couldn't run with the winner in the lane but was able to pass two for 2nd, late. Nothing spectacular but what's in this race?
I'm sure they know in Pletcher's barn how much better Sea Canter (that winner) is than the two they've entered tomorrow.
In any event, this one figures to be 2nd choice, which might make her too low for a play.
Does this kind of handicapping work? :lol:
