Race 3
#3 West to Durango (12/1ML): W2D looks like a horse that wanted nothing to do with the Poly. Has been working up a storm on Gulfstream's actual surface (not a PMM shipper). While Pitts' numbers off this type of layoff aren't particular strong, that might help the number on this horse. Those works, plus the all important jump from a 3yr to a 4yr spells PLAY ME.
Well, at 14/1, you got an unbelievable run at West to Durango. This being said, this horse will improve dramatically with racing as he was still extremely green coming off the turn AND he went a 44 half, 2 wide the whole time. Won't get 14/1 next out unless they get real creative and bump him in class, which is possible. $10.40 Place and a $97 exacta got ya healthy and a couple rounds for later on during the card
Race 5
This is one hell of a race, I can find about 7 horses that I could argue. That being said, the two horses that I will be talking about #2 Green Secret and #6 Touch a Prince.
#2 Green Secret(5/1ML) is a KMc trainee that brings a typical MSW win 1st out work pattern for a STRONG 1st out trainer. Darley homebred could make some noise on 'da Trail'
#6 Touch a Prince (10/1ML) is a hunch play for me. Last year, their was an article talking about how Bobby Frankel can not be named as the trainer for PMM trainee, some Florida rule about something. Whatever the fact, rest assure that Frankel is the actual trainer of those horse and last year a few horses sunk in under Lynch's name to run really well (I think On Board Again was one of them at like 15/1 in an MSW race). Besides all that, this horse has been working well and gets Kent D.
Another race like yesterday's tout that this race was a tail of two worlds for us. Touch of Prince didn't run a lick and isn't recommend to play next out, that is about as much as I can say about him. Green Secret though, is an auto playback in his next race, ESPECIALLY if he gets blinkers added. This is a horse with extremely talent in my opinion, but hung a little at the end to end up getting DH'ed. What was interesting is that it looked like Jara thought he had put the 3 away on the final turn with him looking under his arm but as stated, just hung a tiny bit. Will improve next out, ESPECIALLY with Blinkers. $6.20W/$6.80P, $30 Exacta, along with a $155 pick three continued with the healthness
Race 7
#3 Blazing Pursuit (20/1ML): Man do I think this horse is going to run HUGE tomorrow. Given the expected pace scenario and the great clock that Javy has in his melon, you are going to be looking at a horse that is gonna come a flying at the end and make things awful interesting. Besides that commentary, BP loves GP with 2 wins in 4 starts, and some great works since getting down to Palm Meadows. While Toner doesn't excel with layoffs, hard to ignore 15/1 or better on this horse.
Watching this race gave me a TON of information. Fact is that Blazing Purrsuit was up against it today as from what I can tell, an unfront bias was prevelent. That being said, at 27/1, he was a decent play given his numbers. Now for the good stuff, High Finance is an AUTO play next out, in what will probably be a rise in class. He just never got a hole to run through and when he did, he shot through it and finishing extremely well.
