1. Any Given Saturday only won his debut by a nose at Turfway Park. If by some miracle this ones as good as him - he'll need to be plenty better on debut to win this. Pass.

2. Not on debut at 6f against these. Pass.

3. Good deal of money to pay for a Roman Ruler out of a Silver Charm dam that's produced nothing. Was a colt when they bought him - is a gelding now. Would have to be pretty live on the board to use.

4. same comment as #2

5. Ralph Nicks - by Officer out of Forty Niner mare - 40K weanling turned 230K yearling. Gomez rides. Lots to like.

6. 200K yearling turned 2.3 million 2yo less than six months later. I wasn't quite as dazzled by its preview as much as some were - but its still a use.

7. No

8. Sold for 37K as a yearling in Jan - and 400K as a yearling in July. I guess when your by a young unproven sire in Jan - and your by the sire who threw both the Derby and Belmont winner come July - and you've filled out well and have Seattle Slew on the bottom that can happen. I'll pass unless this one is rabidly live on the board.

9. Same comment as 2 and 4

10. Coming out of a very strong MSW race, adding blinkers, two works since the race - a lot of reasons to improve but I hate Lukas and will play against this stopper.

11. 160k yl turned 500k 2yo - earned a figure in defeat in debut that's faster than winning par for a 2yo MSW at Saratoga. You're supposed to single these horses every time in races like this... but I don't want a short price on a Bernardini going just 6fs .. especially when the dams only career win came going 12fs in Europe on poly at Lingfield and its a half sibling to two monumental prick teases in Superfly and Andromedia's Hero.

The bet: backwheel the 11 in 2nd place in the exacta ... with the 5 and 6. If either the 3 or 8 happens to be live - include them in the top slot as well.
