Exactly as written, you got it. If I recall she broke slow and was beaten for the lead and then boxed. She got the rail again with some speed to her outside, with Bear Now and DOA and Secretsoftheheart. One thing that sticks out to me in the speed dept. is DOA race of JJuly 29th at colonial on the turf. E1/E2 are 21.2 / 43.4. Dream Rush simply drew a bad spot again as she prefers to stalk, if DOA shoots to the lead Bejarano will have to work out a better trip than he did last time again, while Secrets of the heart draws well in the 5 spot, again. DOA looks like a single to me now, we shall see how they look later on today.

If you think DoA will be beaten, there should be good value on the board. Calabrese's horses are always overbet in the win pool.

I dont know man, I agree with this for the most part, but I have caught a couple of his good winners over at Tampa(I am talking about 4/1 or better on Calabrese horses, unheard of, with Catalano's bro in law training.....

I think she's more likely to lose at 9f on dirt later in the spring than this one at 6.5 furlongs. I think she's plenty fast enough to run at this distance.

I don't know what to think about her, I like Calabrese's horse in the race before quite a bit, that horse is a half to Liz on Polk Street who was a minor stakes winner. Not a huge fan of Touch Gold as a sire but Catalano will have that horse ready.

If you toss Street Magician, I think their is some value in that pick three, even if you single DOA
