I haven't gotten a chance to look into these races quite as much as I'd like...but I'm not sure how busy I'm going to be over the next two days so I'm going to post my initial thoughts and may tweak them later on.

Sunday, July 17
Best Bet: Race 8 #4 Nobals 9/2 ML, Rivelli/I.Ortiz. I love the early speed in these turf sprints and I think Nobals is the fastest of the fast here. The main contender, Big Invasion, draws the outside post and I'm not sure how much I like him to get an easy trip. We'll see...but I'll be betting on the speed and hoping Irad is able to hold on down the stretch.
Best Value: Race 7 #11 Classic Lynne 6/1 ML, Sharp/Gaffalione. I'm not sure what went into the decision to put her in a stakes race on dirt but she's been off the track since then and now returns for her 3 year old debut on what I think is her preferred surface and distance. If you go two back, she showed some professionalism in her maiden win and defeated Russiarussiarussia that day fairly convincingly. She's a big, strong looking horse with a nice stride that, if she improves at all, is the horse to beat out of this bunch. Her works look good. No reason to think she isn't ready to fire.
