8/15:
Best Bet: Race 9 #4 Ellen Jay 3/1 - Really wanted to go back to Twirling Queen at a better price but I just couldn't find the advantage for her over Future Is Now here. I considered some others too and again just wasn't convinced...Ellen Jay on the other hand isn't going to be all that much of a price, however she's the one with all the upside, is coming in working really well by the looks of it and ultimately I thought was the most convincing alternative.
Best Value: Race 10 #5 Twohonestmischief 12/1 - It felt like last time was the time for Solo Jim who can win here..Undisputed and Kaz Oil Changer can also win but don't exactly get the pulse racing so I wanted to find a longer shot. I totally get anyone thinking Twohonestmischief won't get the mile, the breeding is all sprint and the stretchout attempts don't exactly inspire confidence. With that said I think he's loose in here and I get the sense this could be the type of race where that might be all it takes...I think Chris Englehart may have found a sneaky spot here and if Manny can put them to sleep on the lead he might be able to drag him to the line.
Good luck.
