Agree with you both. Just cant separate 3 and 5. Rail has been golden last couple of cards. Depends on the trip

Interesting take. It feels like there is a lot of speed in this race and I think Attack Angle is the best finisher. I’m curious as to how this race gets bet. The card tomorrow is a nice one with many allowance races and big fields.

hi guys....Attack Angle has displayed more talent than Make The Call, a handy stalker with no finishing kick or killer instinct yet in evidence.
But Attack Angle having been sold on the heels of a super-impressive debut still bugs me, and the horse stayed lefty and looked rocky to me in the final stage of his recent win. He did, however, move aggressively to hold position on a hard pace, which probably took a toll late.
Make The Call was compromised by stumbling badly at the start, but recovered almost instantly and fell into a great position just off a competitive pace.
Tough call as visual interpretation of their respective efforts seems critical. Were I offered stock in either horse, though, I would choose Make The Call.
FWIW-I think Speak No Evil in race #5, and One Step Closer in race #9 , neither of which figures much value, both loom likely winners...
And please remember that I was not bullish on Attack Angle going into his mdn score-so I'm probably the wrong guy to size him up...

I agree that racing close to the pace and saving ground was the preferred trip yesterday, but I did not find the bias extremely potent. Especially when compared to Monday's, and more so to Saturday's (epic bias).
Good luck today, sir.

I’m on site and there is a very strong wind blowing directly north (directly into the top of the stretch). I’ll be curious to see if this calms down by race time or if it has an effect on the races. I don’t mind bad weather but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t uncomfortable outside.

The weather report says 20-30 mph winds this afternoon with gusts over 40mph at times. I’m wondering if the card is in doubt. It’s rough

I decided to come home for the races and watch on the couch and the guy on tvg just commented on the weather at Mahoning and referred to the track being just outside Cinci.....can someone get him the memo that cinci is over 4 hours away?
