Smart Enuf is viable with natural development from 3 to 4... Donk as clever as they come. The fact that he starts him short kind of said to me he's working him back towards his preferred trip. Tough group.. I left Brecciate off the P4 and it's likely a mistake. Each of the quad races have opportunities to reach out for. I felt 6 deep in the 6th, 7th and 9th were all appropriate...

I'm thinking Smart Enuf needs one coming off of the shelf, although one can construe his work string as he's ready to fire. Will be on one of my tickets.

I'm drawing a line through Cardiff Road's last, and hope he will improve 2nd off the bench. His 2nd race back at this distance may be good enough to take this, even if it is a full year ago.

I will be playing a Cardiff Road and Smart Enuf exacta. CR's last was a toss.

I tried to tell myself many moons ago that Donk's horses rarely need a race off the bench.

Smart Enuff is possible however he's shortening up to a sprint and I'm just not sure he's going to have enough pace to run at in this one. I'm not a huge backer of betting on Leo O'Brien trained horses but I like to use an angle on turf courses with cut in it, and Pegasus Tommy D. looks like he might have the advantage here with this angle.

Very interesting. I realize most here probably think Fairy Wand (R3) is a plug. I notice that she's cutting back, yet again, today and the very sage Albertrani is removing the blinkers. Now, Ramon has BLOWN 2 races on this filly by not being able to keep her on righty lead, and thus, running straight, in the lane. And, the reason she won't stay righty/straight is because she, apparently, doesn't like the whip. In other words, Ramon should've know from her race on 5/1 that she doesn't like being whipped and not hit her last out. YET, they try to fix the problem by removing the blinkers. I wonder if Ramon sticks her today.

Fats.. She's in the 4th. I thought she was OK here. Used her in the early P4 anyway...

I think hitting the ALL button in the 7th isn't inappropriate. Really the only one that can't win this is the 7, Harmonic Man, and even he has a couple freaky performances albeit on dirt at Mountaineer. The favorite was impressive in his turf debut but the stretchout from 6 to 7 could be his undoing.

Bruce Levine continues to be overbet and ice cold in the first.

I'll throw one out there for the 7th, Key Victory. Made a premature but nice move to make the lead last out at 32-1 while very wide the whole time, gets a positive rider switch and a couple decent works in between. think he's got a real shot at the 20-1 ML.
