Day 14
End of the second week already and for all of the days where I have not liked many cards, I really like todays card. Which means I'll probably go 0 for 10.
Best bet: Race 5- #9 Baby Blythe
I flirted with putting a few horses in this spot but ultimately landed on a horse I have thought highly of since her debut. Post is no bargain with the run into the far turn, but I think Baby Blythe has shown hints of ability a few times in her career. Two back she needed one behind a crawling pace and won the match race last time, somehow as the 2nd choice. She exploded here last year to a big one, albeit over the widener and hopefully she gets a little pace to run at. I think 3rd off the layoff we see her best and I'm hoping she shows up with her "A" race because ultimately I think she's the best horse in here
Longshot: Race 8- #1 L'Imperator
Not a longshot per se, but I think this one will be the longest shot of the 5 in here. Tough to make much out of his race two back in the bog, but I thought his race last time was much better than it looked. Cancel yanked him off the lead as his uncoupled stablemate stole the race. He was putting in a run when he had to pause in traffic and was still coming. LOVE the rider switch to Manny who should be aggressive from the inside and I think he can win this on the lead or right off. Another rare price on a Chad horse
