[Bogey]

Things will be a little slow with all the heavy hitters gearing up for the Breeders' Cup on Nov. 4th., but let's take a look at some SPOT plays for the weekend.

SAT - Keeneland - Race 8

#8 No Tolerance - Winner of the G3 Carey Memorial at HAW in his last looks to steal it again on the front end.

#2 Sampson's Son - He's in good form for the switch back to the lawn. He does have a case of seconditis. 26 starts - 11 2nd place finishes.

#5 Classic Campaign - Mott lures Leparoux off Del Mar Show to ride the 9yr old gelding. He beat some nice horses in his last at the SPA (Willard Straight - Defer).

SAT - Oak Tree @ Santa Anita - Race 9

#5 Runaway Dancer - Hendricks wins at a 25% rate with these types of horses coming off the bench. The only runner in the field with a win on the SA lawn.

#2 Sarafan - 9yr Gelding (earner of over $2.6 Mil) hasn't been seen since Apr, but Drysdale will have him ready. He is 0 for 12 on the SA Turf?

#6 Artiste Royal (Ire) - Nice try when 3rd to The Tin Man and TH Approval in the G1 Clement Hirsch. PVAL rides for DeSeroux. He's the class of the field.

SUNDAY - Woodbine - Race 7 - Candian International G1

#6 METEOR STORM (Ire) - Multiple G1 winner comes in fresh with only one start this year, in which he finished a closing 4th in the G1 Kelso going a mile at BEL. Very consistent and I expect a huge effort. 12-1 ML looks pretty good too.

#2 Kastoria (Ire) - She's won 4 out of her last 5 and will add the Lasix for the first time. Also, she's 3 for 4 at the distance and Mick Kinane comes across the pond for the mount. Lots to like.

Good Racing Luck
