Only making one play today. In race 8 #3 Bathhl is one of only two to win a turf route. This race is 9F and there are serious distance limitations with this crew. Most have only broken their maiden or have not won past 6F.

Bathhl broke her maiden vs MD MDN CLMRs but that is OK vs NY breds. She won at 8.5F. Her class is ok and her turf ability is enough to win a stakes after breaking a maiden vs claimers. The other filly to win at a turf route is Tishmeister. The issue with her is that she is need to the lead but there are several stretchout dirt sprinters to press her and and pester her. Setting it up for Bathhl who closes everytime on the green.

Anyone who saw her 2nd last race at PIM, where the jock lost his irons entering the stretch, recovered, bulled his way to the outside and finished full of run, would've gladly taken 9:5 next out at DEL, where she won in hand.
Interesting that Doninguez goes to the sprinter, Don't Mind Me, rather than staying on her.

She's always gotten nice, inside stalking trips and appears to be an easy horse to handle in a race whether they'll be desperately looking for a gas station just after 6F.

Race 7- Count On Pal is the bettors best friend here. Not only is he lone speed, but he is a game sonavabitch and is 9-1!. Power into this winner with a large win bet and key this one on top with the confidence of a 2-5 that is paying $20.
