Tomorrow is the Clark at Churchill. I am shocked that the morning line has Maxfield at 6-5 and Midnight Bourbon at 8-5. MB to me seems as close to a sure thing as you can get that isn't the favorite. He has the rail, lone speed, better jockey this time, working very well, all point to his first Grade 1 victory.
The throw outs are the
for any part.
Maxfield looks like the next best, but he couldn't beat Art Collector who got crushed in the Classic by horses MB has been very competitive against.
Dr Post is the key to the exotics after the top two. Irad had his choice of him and Happy Saver and he landed here. Jockeys who have their choice usually that horse beats the other 90% of the time.
Happy Saver couldn't come that close to beating Max Player twice who also got his head handed to him in the Classic. His last race he didn't look good in the lane.
King Fury has tried Grade 1 four times and has been up the track each time, although one was on the turf. He does run well at CD but the slow pace will comprise him.
Looks to easy for the superfecta!
with
with
with
and then flip the
for fourth with the
for third.
Now you watch, MB will go off 3-5!
and the exotics will pay way less than what I am thinking they will which is a 15 exacta, 40 trifecta, 125 super when it comes in
