I'm hoping the horses that are attending the pace are going to cook themselves including Dream Rush, and am strictly looking to get some value in this. I figure 'Anna' is the most likely winner anyway, though at least a tad vulnerable at the trip and coming off the break, so why not put the best prices with her that you think have a shot given the scenario? I was there when Dream Rush got beat, and was actually with Shawn Musgrave who made it clear that his filly had quality and could win, and think Dream Rush may not be that terrific.

Alan Goldberg (You Asked) is one of the wisest wise guys around, and Guidry seems to come up big in spots like this all the time. I had her on top when I first wrote this up, and then swapped her with Anna... And horses exiting any races against Outofthebox's Golden Dreamer have been coming back to win left and right. In a short field with speed, You Asked is the right horse with the right style in the right post at the right price...

(Have to go back and look at the 10th to answer part two of the question...)
