I know a lot of people are going to gravitate towards Capensis for good reason. he was super impressive in his debut, validating the hefty purchase price. I have no real knock against him, but I want to see him do it again and the post is no bargain. I thought Orchestration looked like a runner with a nice future last year. Not the best ride in his debut, broke maiden here and then was sawed off at Keeneland when he was really moving well. Layoff a concern obviously but should be a rare Chad Brown/Irad horse that isn't overbet.
Longshot: Race 5- #7 Big Bobby
By no means am I in love with this horse, but I thought this was a race full of speed and wanted to take a runner who I thought would be coming late. Total no show in return, but good to see no dramatic drop and he's improved in his second start off the break each time he has had a layoff. Will be every bit of his 10-1 ML and if he can still run at all, should get conditions suited for him

Capensis was indeed vulnerable at even money (!) and was off the board. Orchestration ran well and maybe would've won if he was able to get out a bit sooner. He did win the photo for 2nd, paying $6.10 to place.
Big Bobby took way more money than I was thinking, going off at 5-1. The pace meltdown didn't really materialize (shocking in NY) and Big Bobby ran well to finish a non threatening 3rd.
