Interesting race. Hopefully produces a horse or two for the triple crown series.
Pondering keying the 5 or keying 158 at the bottom of tris/supers

Nailed it.
This horse could perhaps eventually be a player in the triple crown series, but the post draw, fractions from the wins, and style questions make this one a risky key. Has two options; Lose ground and run a G1 race to overcome it, or save ground from a deep stalking position. I'm guessing they just run into the teeth of the post bias and think they can overcome the wide trip without messing with this potential monster's style. I do not like that he failed to change leads on debut, and then in his 2nd race switched back to the left-lead in mid-stretch. Those are exactly the type of flaws that can be magnified under adversity such as a wide trip.

Should sit a good trip and be moving mid-late. Not a super talent, but if the race becomes a grinding collapse, he'll be in the mix.

The slow start in the Cash Call surprised me. Is that the plan here? Relax and save ground early? I did like the big aggressive middle move. Castellano is not typically a closing jock. Hopefully not caught in the middle of styles.

This horse looks talented and fit at a decent price. He's a difficult read in terms of class. Will know more, after the fact. Post draw could hurt him. Thinking along with The Cowboy = expect him to try to clear the field wire-to-wire.

 Zing Zang 15/1 Improving, and has the connections and the breeding to be a good one. Need more proof at the moment but would not surprise. |
If the favorites tire late in a pace-collapse these guys have every right to accompany the
