I am curious how the Strategic Missions will do in the slop, assuming it's off the turf. SM was a turf star.

Looking at the sires in the 4th may as well take a small shot on the Volponi Smateralex in the mud. And the only entry not tail mail to Mr Prospector/Northern Dancer is Alpha Dancer (to Cozzene).

4th race:

$1 exacta box 4,5,10.

9,11
1,5,12

$24 smackers

how bout slick wheelie

wretched race. only the winner liked the surface.

WP on Lookin at Her. If you like Fiddler's Afleet, why not try LAH at 2.5x the price.

Nice call!

Bykster comes out firing with the early P4. Very nice.

I hope the exacta will-pays hold up on Of All Times/Marq of Love.
Playing straight and boxing for hedge.

Vinnie was really striding out near the end. Very impressive imo.

I am playing R6 $20 ex 9/4,5

$ 452 I'll take it!

Good call and bet.

Thanks guys. Needed it to pay for my horrible handle on the 6th.

I'm looking at the Jerken's entry in the 7th. Hoping the odds float back up to around 10-1 or around m/l. Will probably play heavy to place.

good job.. would have had the tri too!

Great bet!! Congrats!!

$452 or $45.20?....oops, sorry...I see it was a $20ex...wow, nice one!

Just keep playin the speed. This track is favoring the early speed types, as expected.

I wouldn't say that definitively.

The wretched route race was an exception. The rest of em, yes, the early speed is holding. The sealed tracks are like wet airport runways.

Playing Zip to the City. Can he last? Don't know but loves the slop.
