You may very well be right in tossing those two. You may also be tossing the Exacta. We'll find out soon enough.

I think she goes 1:47.12 and wins pressing a :46.1 pace just off Beholder,Draws off and sets new track record!
Dreaming of Julia and Beholder fight it out for second money while Close Hatches,Unlimited Budget and Silsita are left 7 lengths back wondering why the winner didn't run the next day!

One of these speeds will relax and have a big shot, but I'm going to go deep on closers in the verticals. Looks like a fantastic betting race.

Did they bring in the morning line maker from Gulfstream for this race?

Seems about right to me - going back to at least 1980, no filly has won this race without starting as a 2yr old. Admittedly, i don't know how many have tried, so this could mean absolutely nothing, but her and Close Hatches both lack 2yr old experience.

That draw is brutal for Close Hatches. Will have to gun to avoid 5W first turn. Taking her off my top line
