Starting the day with just about a cold pick 3.
In the first, Soda Pop Kid makes first fast dirt start for Levine after two good efforts in the wet up north and his last was Levine's sole winner at Saratoga.
Barn going much better now and horse has won on a fast track before.
Actually raced okay for Gary Sherlock on synthetics and he is nowhere near the trainer Levine is.
May or may not be a speed duel here. Although Captain Rio is probably the quickest early of the quick, the outside draw may be the equalizer but saving with him just in case he does get loose.
In the second, Fire Wood has to break down to lose. Raced extremely well against a tons better field two back and last is a total toss when eased as a filler. Dominguez stays which won't help the price but I don't care.
In the third, I always liked Malibu Prayer as a horse. She is versatile, always shows up and can take a lot of heat and live to tell about it. May get an easy lead but if something guns inside, she can easily sit.
In the fourth, Fenway Faithful was bet out in debut and ran well albeit in the mud. Worked back 3 times and should be even better on dry ground.
Tough to go against.
Cats Kitty got bogged down inside on a track he clearly did not handle. NO panicky drop for this homebred and expect big improvement today.
Fourseventeen worth a look for the sole fact that Galluscio is off to a flying start.
In the fifth, here's another that has to fall down to lose. Whistlejacket makes first start for Anthony Dutrow who puts him in for a tag here. His firm turf starts tower over anything in here and is a deserved 1-5 shot.
In the sixth, Amiga Del Sol adds lasix and drops in for a tag for the first time like many others in here. Homebred is probably quickest early and if she improves with lasix, it's goodnight nurse.
Iron Penny was as green as a martian in debut. She's a huge gangly grey and though I'm a huge fan of saving ground, I think the outside will suit her.
In the 7th, Green Harbor has been in three impossible spots since the
Assaf Ronen claim.
Drops into the restricted claimer today and should have daylight throughout. Maybe even at a price.
In the 8th, beating the Arabs may be a problem as both parts of the entry are super nice animals. American Cruiser though goes fresh for the hottest barn on the grounds and will have a serious position edge.
In the finale, Serela's song had a good trip when third in last at Saratoga but that was one tough maiden claiming field.
Her first turf start on this course and distance was tremendous against a good field and anything close to that effort puts her in the winners circle.
I don't like Nostalgic at all.
I can't recall ever seeing something owned by the Firestone's in a maiden claimer and the fact that the filly ran well in two synthetic starts in special weight company says something is really wrong here for Clement to not give her one chance on grass without a tag.
A bomb, and I mean bomb, Pleasant Sister was banged around like a pinball in her first turf start which was against a good field and off a layoff.
Came back on dirt and showed the same speed she did in first two starts.
Barn has been dead all year until the quick start this meet.
Love Lezcano because he'll find the hedge and this one could wake up at a big number.
Good luck and I hope for no rain otherwise this entire post could be in vain.
