POST-SCRATCHES


7th: MSW, 2yo, 8.5f-T/59' ($3 Tropical Turf P3, P5, P3, DD)

Insanely deep group of turf routers and I’m betting a giant price that is going to move way up on turf. Dutrow's Concrete Bolt (30-1) is 100% a turf horse being by Omaha Beach (out of the Bob Lothenbach dispersal) and a half to multiple turf stakes winner Minnesota Ready. Among the firsters, Mike Welsch talked up Gargan's Minotaur and Riley Mott's Coburg has a license to run well. Protect and Defund has pedigree as does C J Star. The curious FTS in here of course is the FULL to Rachel Alexandra from Pletcher (Epic d’Oro) debuting on grass. However ~ there was another full sibling out of Lotta Kim named Gladys that was good on the grass. Pick and pray..

Best Value: #1 Concrete Bolt 30-1 12th
