Super Saturday is here. :jump:
I doff my cap to NTRA/NHC for putting together a card of tough and competitive races.
R6 Tampa: :2: Be Mine was favored 4 back in the G2 San Clemente. There is no way she is 7/2 come post time. :3: Galileo Gal is the concern from the ever tough Casse barn.
R6 Aqueduct: Nice of them to extend an olive branch to the NYRA circuit and Aquedump:pound:. And no better race than a state bred purse for horses who don't deserve to be running for this much money. I'll go with :10: Rossie Val as she just beat better. :3: Calculated Risker is the fall back plan with Arroyo on board.
R3 Santa Anita: :7: Gustnado is off of a near 10 month layoff and is dropping off the cliff in class. I'll jump on board, but highly doubt we'll get 8/1. :1: Maestro Dearte is your classic closing turf horse, and is of obvious concern with Nakatani in the irons.
R10 Gulfstream: The G3 Suwanee River may well be the race of the day. Hard to overlook any Kitten with the Ramsay connections in the :9:, but I'm going with :5: Dream Dancing if she can ever get back to that Del Mark Oaks form 3 back. :3: Midnight Crossing comes in off an impressive win last out as she cranked through :24s like it was nobodies business winning wire to wire in the G3 Frankel. Really tough race.
R11 Gulfstream: :5: Mojovation looks to be the class of this field, but we have hardly seen the best of what this group has to offer. Another Ramsay/Kitten in the :3: looms ominous. :8: Sand Dancer should also be tough.
R12 Gulfstream: Bust out your trustiest dart in a race that is more wide open than Stormy Daniels. Really difficult to put forth any opinion on this race, but I'll go with the :2: Here's to Mike as he gets back to his preferable 8 1/2 panel distance. :6: Conquest Sandman makes a lot of sense and :4: Donation off the claim is very interesting at a likely price.
R7 Golden Gate: Alright, I'll take the Euro with EMD4ME's favorite jockey in Couton on board in the :4: Consolida. We really have no idea what any of these are quite yet :7: Mapit looks dangerous out of the King's barn.
R9 Santa Anita: Going with a bomb in the :5: Taco Tuesday who has yet to run a bad race and look for the rest of these to beat him. Exotics players may want to single the :9: Conqueror in the 2 hole as he has 6 lieftime Place efforts in 13 career starts.
:2::10::7::5::5::2::4::5:
