Solid first day, and on to the next.
Very much better card. How about this G3 Apple?
Gidu: Last two look to be competitive, and getting better. Really interesting horse at a price.
First Premio: Always in the mix, but doesn't win as many races as he should. Graded Stakes company has been his Kryptonite.
Hembree: Always sensibly placed, and always with a chance. Exotics for me, but he wouldn't surprise me on top.
Offering Plan: Will need some pace in front of him, but with Brown as the trainer this guy will get bet. Heavy. Deservedly so. Anything over 5/2 would be surprising.
March to Arch: Can run as good as any in here. Rolls in off a solid work. Should be a price to watch.
Made You Look: The 'other' Brown isn't too shabby. 2 and 3 back are maybe winning races in here. Cannot dismiss for the win.
Voodoo Song: Little left as to know what he needs to do. Get to the front and wall them all off. Long layoff was likely needed, but this is a tough bunch after 9 months on the bench.
Qurbaan: Wasted a ton of money on this horse only to see troubled trips and what could have been. As a 6YO, he should be running better races without much trouble all the time.
Mr Havercamp: He can run with these on a good day. Question is whether it will be a good day. A lot of chances against these peers without much success. Exotics bound.
Doctor Mounty: Would be quite shocking if he finished in the Exacta. Johnny V is inspiring, but not much else.
SUMMARY: I like the
Offering Plan at anything over 4/1.
Ex Box. For now.
