4/14 (KEE): Blue Grass, Wiley (G1's), Comm (G2), Shakertown (G3)

[Kasept]

Couple thoughts after a glance...

Don't go through the PP's for the Commonwealth and Shakertown too quickly... It's hard to tell where which race finishes and the other starts.

Dullahan has to get the desired set up. There's just too many front end types in the Blue Grass for the pace not to be at least honest.

Will be interesting to see who wants the lead in the Jenny Wiley because someone may have the opportunity to take control. Leparoux with Tapitsfly? Gomez with Bay to Bay? Graham with Daisy Devine? Wasted Tears would look good again in this. Zagora's better than these and will win, but it sure feels like she's going to have catch someone who gets away with an easy time of it up front.

Agree about Zagora. Assume Aruna will "need one" and won't be at her best for this one.

I will be leaning on Aruna, for me its an A to Z exacta.

I think this is a very interesting race. Perhaps I'm over-thinking it and Hansen will simply dominate this group, but Prospective and Dullahan are almost as likely to win, in my opinion, because of the likely pace scenario. It also wouldn't shock me to see Politicallycorrect and/or Heavy Breathing hit the board at a big price. Looking forward to this one.

What are we thinking Dullahan goes off at? I really don't see him staying under the radar.

Somewhere around 5/1 perhaps?

That workout on Sunday sure isn't going to help the price at all.

Dullahan almost seems too good to be true.

Should get a perfect setup, handled the track before, working well. The problem is EVERYONE (including myself) likes him, so I worry about the price, even with Hansen in there.

I agree completely. You look at the race and it's almost hard to imagine him losing without a serious incident. Nothing is ever that easy at the racetrack.

Looking at Dullahan's PP's and seeing the lack of mid 90 Beyer's that a horse like Hansen has, I think Dullahan will have to be 5:1 or more.
