Flashpoint will have to gun it from the 8 path (not that he wouldn't anyway, but is post will make him work harder.

Soldat gets the rail...again.

Hopefully the presence of Flashpoint will help this not be another merry go round for the horses drawing inside going 1-1/8 at GP

Fantastic card. The maiden races are deep, allowance races came up strong and the stakes (for the most part) are interesting betting races.

The last race could be a grade 2 stake at most tracks. Mystic deserves a long look in there IMO.

Does anyone think Flashpoint can win if they leave him alone up front?

Kent D with no mounts in any of the stakes. Is he riding somewhere else or is he that far down on the ladder now?

I think he's all or nothing. Breaking outside going 9f at GP, even with a smallish field, is never easy. He'll have to gas it a bit early, and being a sprinter thus far, might be hard to settle down and end-up toast by the 3/8's pole. Or, I'm completely wrong, and he wires the field and is a supa-star.
