Multiple horses are coming out of the same race (Ack Ack) that fell apart but this race does not have nearly as much speed.

I think the hype on Zensational has been ridiculous but he's so much faster than anyone in here early that if he gets the lead it's over.

He very well may, but isn't 9/5 kind of a ridiculous price to take on a horse like Zensational coming out of a NW1X stepping up to face older in a graded stake? I mean I am going to fool around with Bet on Victor who could pick up some pieces if there's a hot pace duel and who is relatively lightly raced, and because he's 44-1, but I would demand more value before playing a horse like Zensational.

Oh I'm not betting Zensational but I can't find a reason to be excited about any of the plodders from the Ack Ack, save maybe Star Nicholas.

Definately agree with you there...that's why I landed on the ridiculous Bet on Victor who probably has no shot to even hit the board in here, but he's a huge price, and he's only run 4 times and could improve a bit compared to the same old horses who show up time and time again.

At least Vladimir Cerin is riding a jockey that can enable him to take advantage of the weight break.

After the last race you might as well throw a dart at the board and see where it ends up after that 6 won the allowance before this.

Street Magician from the 1 post may hook him, I am certain his better distance is closer to 6 than 7. I think I am going to have to think out of the box here, knowing Ezpinoza he may not go to the lead leaving SM alone and to lead as far as Bejarano can take him, I did think his last race was excellent at PID.

I am strongly against Street Magician here...I think he wants no part of 7F, and his last while the figure came up good, let's take a closer look at who he beat in there...the 2nd place finisher was running for a 25K tag at one point in the last two years, as well as the fact that the third place finisher is a turf sprinter who's claim to fame was a 3rd in the Breeders Cup Sprint won by bomb Desert Key. I want no part of him from the rail although you are geting a price if you like Street Magician.

Yep you were correct, I always thought he had talent and he looked good at PID. Couple that with an incorrect read and not being excited about anyone else in the race, I was left with very few choices playing this race.
