I think Seventh Street is dicey but beating up on bad horses in allowance races in NY is often just as good as beating mid-range stakes company in the mid-Atlantic. She beat Salt Water Reign two back and that won has scored two in a row since. The biggest question mark on SS is whether she can win a race on a dry surface. She's scored three times on wet tracks which has to make one a bit suspicious.
By the Light was fully stretched to beat a very soft field last time out and is another who's going to be horribly overbet.
If I'm looking to bomb in here it might be with the Mountaineer shipper but I'll use Seventh Street for sure.

Your points are valid. This was my first impression selections. I reserve the right to change. However the Fritchie looks like the kind of race one could like a different horse each time you cap the race. Seventh Street cost a bundle and McLaughlin is a sharpie. SS might be ratable and I could include her as she has talent and you make a good argument in her favor. Salt Water Reign won on the 7th which was a speed favoring track. She's a decent NY bred inner dirt type. She would not have a chance in a race like this.
As far as Dickie D's nag, I've seen that horse run big from off the pace last spring. While I'm glad I have time to recap this race, I don't what Richard E Dutrow Jr to screw me as I've been screwed when I've left his horses off tickets especially in wide open races. I don't want to play ALL here and if I feel I have no other choice I'll pass on the wager. I don't think ALL is neccessary as we can narrow this down to 3 or 4 which gives us room to spread a bit in the next four races.
