The 1st of the Tiara preps @ FGX today.
On paper, they should not even go to the gate. The Asmussen trained
Stageplay should just be handed the win. However, it just doesn't work that way. At 8/5 morning line, I just can't play for the win. If she beats me, then she beats me. I do like her underneath.
The
is the wildcard stretching out for the first time. She made a big jump forward when she broke her maiden on 12/13 @ 6F over the FGX course. If this one brings it home, she will do so by laying back off the pace and try to close over the long stretch in the Big Easy. And @ 20/1 that will drift up at post time, you will be rewarded.
The Cox trained
retains Bridgmohan for the 4th time and will race outside of the Bluegrass state for the 1st time as well as stepping up into stakes company for the 1st time. Most of the angles are a positive, especially the jock winning @ 40% with the Cox stable the past 60 days and Cox winning both as a shipper and 46+ days away over 24%.
The
out of Big Brown should set the pace. She has 2 wins over the course, 1 of which is at the same distance as today's race. She has 2 wins and is just a head from having 3 wins. She has proven that she knows what her job is and for young ones such as these, there is something to think about there. The question is who goes with her and who lays up just off the pace to pressure and push her. Here too is one that is capable of wiring the field if no one goes with her.
If you are playing the pk3, pk4 or pk6, all of these, IMHO, should be on your ticket.
For you exotic players I try to beat the
and key the
and the

. I might even hit the all button for the bottom of the tri or super.
But for me, I think I just dutch win the
