Great betting race. O'Neill at 12-1 and Nakatani at 50-1. This is a great value race

Awesome Banner{8-1} sure is tough at one turn,five stakes wins and a crummy DQ last time..........he's fast,classy,and well drawn.
He could be good on Monday.

Didn't like this DQ:

Isotherm{6-1} took a sneaky uncomfortable trip in his latest,it just didn't go well for him.
A smooth,well timed journey (no pointless middle moves please) will go a long way in helping him in the........."Mathis Brothers Mile" ?
My word.........I'll just call the race the "Grade 2 nightcap",that sounds much better.

Keep an eye on the #6 horse:

I think it might be too far for the O'NEILL. Square Eddie Horses do run well down the hill. I think if you look at Ohio's races at Del Mar, you'll see an unhappy horse who is fighting the jock, and doesn't have much kick. Then, if you look at his races over the Santa Anita Turf you'll see a different horse. I think he should be 3 for 3 over this course. I think he should of won down the hill last time. Blanc got him stuck, then, when full of run, he got sandwiched. Course, with this many horses, he might find trouble again. Hill races are absurd, though. Usually it's too hard, or too easy. If you go wide, the 4th or 5th best horse is probably gunna win one of the other legs of the pick 4.
