Mugaritz is the one I keep coming back to though as one with a possible change in tactics in settling a bit early in the race like his California Derby two back. Problem is, he has never really shown much encouraging late foot. I just think he is better than his El Camino, and the change to Juarez is a key addition.

Archaggelos is really interesting shipping in from Woodbine and running his 1st as a 3YO off of 3 months rest.

Zanesville is probably just more curiosity after he broke his maiden at 8.5 panels at Fair Grounds, and then is shipped to run at Delta in less than a mile races? Type of crazy horse that could get a great trip and come rolling late.

Hazit is the concern. He may well simply be the class of the field. I just find it more than a bit odd that he lands here; and 9F is certainly no guarantee for him.

Tough race.
It might be my imagination, but I think that many horses running their 1st race after racing at Tampa outperform their natural abilities. Hazit won't have to improve much to beat these guys.

BTW
I thought that the title of the thread was a typo, but the race is named,
'Jeff Ruby Steaks'.

I would expect Magicalmeister to get a very nice trip. Let's see what he's made of when the jock calls on him for his best.

Nothing there, jock might have been better off letting him go.

I agree and I really like betting Kyle Frey usually but I bet the #12 to W/S in the race.

Couple races in a row now, that he's raced up front on a hot pace.

Jeff ruby

Final thought on Jeff. He’s known around Louisville for refusing to serve O.J. Simpson at his Louisville restaurant before the 2007 Kentucky Derby. He also banned Donald Trump from his establishment during the Super Tuesday primary in Kentucky.

He wont have to worry about me dining there.

This race is what, now, a prep race on the road to oblivion?

You get points for this, but not theIllonois Derby?

Yeah, ok, Churchill.

Didn't know you were such a big O.J. fan. I'm sure the Juice got over it.

Last I heard, there will not even be an Illinois Derby this year. Pre-points, it produced a Derby starter most years including winner War Emblem. Lack of bona fide prep status killed what was a $750k purse in its prime. Would be nice if it could at least be a 20 point wild card like the Lexington should it ever come back.
