I like Owendale also. He is a one run horse and was forced into close pace situations his last two. Third off of a layoff and with the turn back, he should be fit.
One of his best races to date was last years Lexington at Keeneland when he made a huge move on the far turn to break open the race. That was at a mile and a sixteenth. His post position is troubling and that might be his undoing, hopefully Geroux can tuck in behind the first and second flight. I was hoping for 10-1, but the way Cox is going he will probably be lower than that unless Knicks Go takes most of that money. I like him with Mr. Freeze and Art Collector, all have run nice races in the past at Keeneland.
I saw Cox was wearing an Owendale BC Dirt Mile jacket the other day too. A good sign!
