Not a real big fan of the trainer. Probably will win when they drop him in for a high tag

I really like Squallaciuos in the G1 La Brea Stakes.
I see this as one of those races where three connections (Downthedustyroad, River's Prayer, and Win McCool) are going to try to steal the race from the front, and a race that does not appear to have an abundance of early speed will develop into a three-horse speed duel anyway. The fast-closing Squallacious should be there to pick up the pieces.
Her race this spring at 7f (the distance of the La Brea) is the strongest past performance of any of these, and her recent works are strong.
The long layoff does not bother me that much because of the strong works, and because of how sharp she was in her debut, which tells me she is the type that can get fit and ready off a series of fast works.
She is my top pick today.

I have never seen Squallucious race before so I cant really get a feel for her. I kind of disagree with most because I see a lot of early speed. The 3 that were mentioned (Win McCool, Downadustyroad and Rivers Prayer) as well as Diplomat Lady who breaks from the rail and will have no choice but to gun.

This is a very tough race for me to want to throw down a big bet. I missed Win McCool the day she won at a huge price and it killed me because I had played her the 3 times she lost before that. Not easy to want to take the probable 7/2 or 4/1 on Win McCool shipping out west facing a few toughies.

I see a lot more easier races at Aqu today.
