Sat Action - Ap, Bel, Crc, Turfw
Plenty of Breeders' Cup implications this weekend, but one must keep a close eye on the weather today. Interesting to see if AP will be on the turf or only for the G3 Pucker Up?
Arlington Park
R2 - MSW 28K 2yr olds
#4 Scene Control
#7 Bearpath
#6 I Come From Behind
#1 Smokey Aroma
R6 - Alw 30.5K N1X
#5 Fading Light - Not only does she have a big shot especially with top jock, but DT connections to boot.
#1 Rose Princess
#4 Daunbeforethemast
#8 Guanahani
R7 - Honor Glide 50K
#9 Veiled Prophet
#3 Cherokee Triangle
#8 Attempted Humor
#2 Prime Realestate
R8 - G3 Arlington-Washington Lassie
#4 Pride - Should enjoy the extra ground.
#7 Quite the Lady - Should also show improvement going longer.
#3 Broadway Hennessey - West Coast Invader comes to Chi-Town with a nice resume.
#6 Phola - Like the fact she won her debut at the same distance at AP.
R9 - G3 Pucker Up
#8 Much Obliged
#10 Mushka
#11 Nijinsky Ballet
#2 Lucky Copy
PK3 - Starting in Race 7 - 2 3 8 9 / 4 7 / 8 10 11 = $24
Belmont Park
R3 - G1 Garden City
#1 IEAH Entry
#4 Alwajeeha
#2 Raw Silk
#3 My Princess Jess
R9 - G1 Ruffian
#5 Spring Waltz - I'll forgive her poor effort at DEL and make her the top choice.
#4 Indian Blessing - Super talented filly must stretch out a bit and tackle elders for the 1st time.
#3 Copper State - She's been a different filly since switching to Assmussen's barn.
#2 Rite Moment - I expect her to keep Indian Blessing company up front end and hold on for a minor piece.
Calder Race Course
R10 - Florida Stallion Susan's Girl 150K
#3 La Chica Sensual - Dominated most of these in her latest, look for more of the same.
#2 Trippi's Greatstar - Gets a much better draw, but still must improve a bunch to turn the tables.
#4 Aroma de Mujer - Hood comes on for competitive maiden.
#7 Cinque Bella - Should round out the exotics.
R11 - Florida Stallion Affirmed 150K
#7 You Luckie Mann - Look for the grey to rebound after hitting the gate at odds on in the Dr. Fager.
#8 Big Drama - He was the benefactor in the Dr. Fager and received a perfect trip.
#3 Sincero - Azpurua being aggressive sending a 1st timer to this event.
#4 Three Part Harmony - Should find his best strides late.
Turfway Park
R9 - G3 Turfway Park Fall Championship
#6 A.P. Xcellent (BEST BET) - Back to his preferred surface after 5 attempts on the lawn. Anything similar to his synthetic performances in Cali and he'll be taking his picture.
#3 Star Plus (Arg) - Improved dramatically in his 2nd U.S. start and McPeek has success with these types.
#10 Dominican - All his wins have come on the artificial surface including his G1 Blue Grass victory.
#4 Telling - Ships in from Chicago after some solid efforts on the lawn.
Ex & Tri Key - 6 / 3 4 10
Good Racing Luck
