Just noticed this on my first real glance through the card. Odd placement to be sure, no?

Smith said he'd try the grass after derby.

I'm all for trying grass, but there are lots of options out there for 3YO's to give the lawn a shot: why squeeze him into a race on two weeks rest?

Damn, I would have went to Pimlico if I knew that BT was the Kegasus.

The first four legs of this Pick 5 are absolutely brutal.
Not only can I not find anything even close to a single in any of them ... I'm also having a lot of trouble eliminating horses. It's very annoying to me. Like one potential landmine after another. Sometimes a card can be "too good" when the main attraction is a multi-win bet like the pick 5. |

I like Pretension to give value to the exotics and based upon what I've seen here I probably am the only one in the world to think that.

It's a very slow track based on what we saw in the first dirt race today.
Solid starter alw males -- the 4 length winner had run figures of 77-88-82-76-80-78 in his last six starts. They went 25 for the first quarter and the 8.5f race broke 1:46 for the final time. Unless some work is done on the track -- the fractions and especially the final time will be very slow this year no matter what. |
Based on that race -- a 1:50 flat for 9 furlongs on this track would be about a 108 Beyer type race.
