8/30 (DEL): Kent S. (Gr. III)

[NTamm1215]

The morning line probably means little but I would try to bet against Wesley at anything less than 4-1. While Deal Making and Adriano were both in trouble in the stretch of the Hall of Fame, the former more than the latter, Wesley had a clear run on the outside. I'm much more inclined to take Deal Making than Wesley.

While I haven't looked at the race closely yet, I like the jockey change on Adriano. He, subtly, never got a clear run last out. Edgar off is a HUGE move for me lately.

As for Wesley: 2 perfect trips in a row.

Oh, and I really dug Durkin's call of the race: "And Adriano is toiling"; as they enter the stretch with Adriano in hand, with no where to go (as the gutless Prado refuses to try to squeeze through a hole). Stick to 'ArrrrrrrrrrrrrLIKE' calls, Tom.

Adriano has a rough trip almost every race. Except maybe the one win on the synthetic, every race I've seen of his since the Fla debacle has been a pretty bad trip.

Not having even looked at the PP's I would be inclined to bet against him big time. Sure his fig came back nice but they finished up really slow I think a shade under 25 seconds for the final quarter in that race. Prussian who finished second to him last out came back and was horrendous finishing 10th in an optional claimer on Travers Day. Pletcher should take good money here and I would chuck him.

This is the ROTW on the TGH site with an excellent discussion for why Deal Making and Mr McCool are very reasonable plays at a price. It doesn't cost you anything but like most sites you need to register.
