Tell us why you like those. That's half the fun of claiming - try to paint a picture of changes to make, what conditions are available if any, why you think the horse can be improved, how can you get out of the horse if you need to, etc......

I selected Kickin and Screamin in the 4th. She's only had 6 races and her first one was this April as a 4 year old. She's been consistent. Her numbers are steadily improving. She placed on dirt, won on turf. Today she tries the aw again. She is by the cancer stricken Chester House, a Mr Prospector turf star. Although the world is not short of the Mr Prospector line, Chester House is o/o Toussaud which adds a sparkle to this pedigree. We all know Toussaud. Chester House, in his all too short tenure at stud, has produced a generous amount of black type. K&S bottom line is average but are producers of durable black type including G1SWs Rest Your Case, Shes Sofine, both o/o 3rd dam Dame Fritchie, and SW Our Emblem with 142 starts. Dame Fritchie is also the 2nd dam of G1SWs Optimistic Gal and Bates Motel.

The one I liked was Native Ruler in 8th.

Even if the return to Poly is unsucessful, appears to be useful on Turf. Previous Poly tries were against pretty classy bunches and right before / after layoff, so those may not be a true indicator.

1M seemed a bit much off the bench., maybe just needed one. Class drop seems unsuspicious. Anyone know Smithwick's win% in claimers?

Mama was an earner across the pond. If he takes to addition of blinks or Poly, that's just a plus.

That's my novice selection, based on the paper...

On the wagering side, I will try a few win dollars on Why be Quiet in the 2nd at a price.

No..

Chuck eyeballed the colt(s) and passed... He HAS dropped on a filly here in the 4th which he liked going in and believes he can quickly improve...

We are likely to get her as there appears to be no other claims... Will give name/number closer to post time...
