Once you get by the first couple races, it looks like a fun card.

I hope it's fast and firm.

Slim, in this company. In spite of scoring with him in the Donn on Nicanor day, it's easy to totally write him off as an opportunist with that heavy track bias at Gulfstream working for him a few times... However, his Gulfstream Park Handicap was actually a legit race (probably easily his best in his last 10).

I guess it's worth seeing whether the track happens to have some incredible speed bias before totally dismissing his win chances. He could always hang around for the bottom of a tri or super

I heard he ran a -3 on TG in his last at CRC.
They needed to give hom a long break so he wouldnt bounce in the big race.
Very nice horse, that Ive been following since he was an on the lead 6f sprinter. 600 races ago.

those are hard to score , because it's a slow time, over a sealed track over a slow slow tiring track...

Visually he was working hard and almost sprinting the whole trip... Although he was clear...

He can be tough

handful of different ways to approach the Stephen Foster, but I like Bullsbay and Arson Squad as the top selections.

I expected Bullsbay to assert himself as a figure in the division in the Halshope but he still hasn't had his breakout race. This could be that race at a good price.

Arson Squad has form that will scare off some of the casual players, but all he really did since improving under Dutrow and nearly winning the Cigar Mile was fail to gain in a speed favoring race with Prado on his back, and then go to Dubai for an even worse speed favoring contest.

interesting play with the Native Dancer.

You have warri0rs Reward an obvious favorite, beating munnings, and everyone and their mother will single that one.

Omniscient and Successful Dan are both eligible to win this race as well, with much more quiet form.

Could include all 3 in some pick 3s or .50 pick 4s. Especially if you play against Einstein here in the Stephen Foster.

could also just single successful dan in a pick3 like 2-348-245678 for a $18 pick3 with a lot of firepower in it

Or you could stop being a weasel and just post what you're going to play before the race goes off instead of leaving it open for redboarding.

the only thing I bet with my money today was 2 Daily Doubles

CD R9 348 with 467
and CD R10 467 with 3510

conservative plays total of $9

I also put a selection in the selection forum for a pick 3 like I was mentioning above using successful Dan
