7: 2-4-5-7
8: 3-9
9: 1-7
10: 1-5-6

4x2x2x3 = $48


IDEA: If live into the 9th race, a $24 DAILY DOUBLE (8x3 = $24) protects you v. Mott, Pletcher and KMc in the nightcap with an ALL/7-8-14..


ALSO... Don't forget that MAGNIFICIENCE runs at 4:30 at Santa Anita in the Gr. III Santa Paula... Good 5 horse field including Coco Belle from Sadler...

Good luck!
Steve

can't wait to see magnificience run, but it's a four-horse field as of now. I think coco belle could wire this small field.

I think she'll wire them all except for Magnificience!:)

Looking forward to see if Clement can 'improve' Vacare....This could show us if Block could be an elite trainer with getting better stock. It is amazing what he wins with sometimes. What is even better is that while he disgustes me with the whole Mystery Giver thing (Dell, you think I would actually talk about Block and not talk about this?!!!), 90% of his stock is his family operation, thus he isn't getting an hourly rate from himself. SO he is making money doing what he is doing because of his success, in an age where some trainer just can't cut it anymore becuase of the super trainers.

steve, i think aunt henny could be in the mix in the disstaff...2nd off the layoff and ran into a nice horse in wait awile..wile rank for a good part of the way.......

il go 2/4/6 with8/9 with 1/6/8 with 12

I'm gonna single Vicare and hope for value in other legs.

If I had a horse in Chicago, he'd be at the very top of a short list of people I'd want to send my horse to, regardless of what surface my horse was running on -- though especially if the pedigree screamed turf.

I'm sad that Vacare isn't with him anymore, but that's the business I suppose.

I absolutely love #7 Serena Cat in the 8th at GP. Vacare is a fantastic filly but if she maybe is not 100% tight after the layoff I think Kiaran's filly will win. At any rate a Vacare/Serenas Cat exacta will be nice.

OOofff..

Midnight Thunder... Oy. Day over.

GP 8th you forgot Pictavia in your picks. Think it's a big mistake.

Vacare
 

Pretty impressive off the shelf, doesn't look like Clemente screwed her up yet, didn't beat much but looks to move forward....Probably see her at Keeneland then some New York races and then the Beverly D...

he is average IMO, I have seen him run too many nut turf horses off the board because they were real short.....

Not as big as not seeing Midnight Thunder as a contender in the 7th..

Unlike American trainers, guys like Clement still run them into shape. "One race is worth five workouts"...

Eh i'm bored.

Magnificience was just that not even alex.s could screw her up today
