i am thinking now that since Aqueduct has no 7 furlong races, the trainer Chad Brown, used the Parx race as a prep for the Bayshore.
the race is a toughie and i am only playing YOUR TO BLAME on the basis of which i have just stated even though he did come out of a sub par race for this kind at Parx. generally i would never even think of playing this type of horse, but the price might be right to find out if the trainer did the right thing.

I just selected
Your to Blame in the NYRA contest thread. A couple of positives to go with distance is the main track race experience in November and positive switch to J. Castellano. I think he can rate just off
Theory, force an honest pace then outkick him down the stretch.
Best race on today's card for my tastes.
