You picked a real skullbuster to solicit some wisdom? Great trainers, great pedigree, and it's a grass race doing long at Belmont Park.

I think it would be wise to take a look at Madam Bling. James Toner is a great trainer of grass horses. He's pretty good at bringing a grass horse back from a layoff having it fit and ready to run. Madam Bling ran three times last year ran pretty well. She wintered down in Florida and looking at the works I think she looks fit. Mr. Toner trained a few siblings of hers who won on the grass at NYRA tracks. She's 10-1 morning line and I have a feeling she'll be around those odds when they go to post.

The 9 is the filly sales-topper Charlotte Weber bought 3 years ago at KEE. Mott had her originally... The daughter of the great Escena is now with Frankel.

$2.7 milly would buy a lot of soup.

McGaughey's filly has all breezing works and a single handily work (from the gate). And, this work is significantly faster than any of the others: 46.1 handily from the gate on April 18 at KEE. She runs, 1st time, April 25 and is outrun 23 lengths the 1st quarter, run in 45.3, after breaking slowly (but nothing significant).

Go figure that one out.

P.S. Why is there a distinction between breezing and handily works when so many have argued on this board that horses taken in hand during races couldn't have run faster if asked?

That may be enough. Especially love the works on the 6.

This one goes to Venitian Causeway. Looks to be a nicely bred Turf Horse.

The Bet:

$30 WP Veneitian Causeway

$10 Ex Box VC - Value Stream

I singled 5. Madam Bling on top and put her on top of in tris and exactas:
1. Kapanga
3. Great Humor
6. Value Stream
8. Venetian Causeway

I had the right horses but keyed the wrong horse.
I had the exacta but in was very bittersweet since I put in a exacta key with Penna Jr.'s Kapanga in slot 2 with 5,6,8 on top. The horse I keyed nosed put the 43-1 for place.
