This one just missed here last September in his debut against future stakes winner General Jim. His PP's are littered with stakes horses and he has held his own vs them. Last out against undefeated Chad Brown/Klaravich runner and future stakes winner Program Trading he was the first mover and was head to head with that rival around the turn while the eventual runner up waited and IMO sucked up 2nd. Can't fault Castellano as he was actually trying to win that race but with a more patient ride I think he can win here.

Longshot: Race 11- #8 Digital Future
This one is draw very well for a horse who resists kickback like he does. Won at this level two back, sharp work last week and should be in good range in the second flight

Digital Future didn’t do much running in a strangely run and bet race. Scramble is one of those beats that takes you a little while to get over. Somehow went off at 14-1, got a good ride and trip. Had dead aim very late, got a nose (and the rest of his body) in front right before the wire and lost a dirty, filthy bob. Paid $12.60 to place.

Day 9

Best bet: Race 3- #2 Fontanfredda
Bond barn has been knocking at the door and I think they break through here. Race shape is in this one’s favor as it appears there is a decent amount of speed in here. Gets Castellano who had choices in here and 5is filly has run well here in the past. Fresh, back at appropriate level and should be a fair price.

Longshot: Race 5- #8 Printrack
This one was my longshot before the scratches and scratches made this field of 8 now a field of 5, so I don’t know what his odds will be. I don’t normally like horses who bolt last time, but after bolting, he got engaged again and was really making up ground late to just miss a photo for 3rd and galloped past the rest of the field. Hopefully they figured out what went wrong because I think he’s dangerous here

Printrack was pretty bad. Fontanafredda lost a photo to one of the more ridiculous Linda Rice winners in at least a day and paid $4.30 to place

Day 10

Best Bet: Race 7- #9 Outlaw Kid
Surprisingly, there is not much speed in in this race, which could be a stake. Outlaw Kid blitzed a field in June at Belmont in his return and then was part of a 3 way duel last time in a stake at Woodbine last time where the 1-2 finishers were last and second to last early. Drawn outside the only other horse who might show some speed and I think this one is very well spotted today for a big effort.

Longshot: Race 8- #3 Eros Girl
My idea here is that I'm against Sweet Mystery who very well could win but I don't think she's the same filly this year as she was last year. I'm hoping Keibar Coa just sits right off Amanda's Folly and lets her go around the turn and she can hold off the closers. Her Finger Lakes form is good, she makes her third start off the break and I like the confidence of running here

No dice on either.

Day 11

Toughest card f the meet so far IMO

Best bet: Race 10- #1 Sousa Summer
Lots of speed signed up in here and IMO this is the best closer. He ran a huge race here last summer and as long as Rosario can’t work out a trip, I like this one a lot.

Longshot: Race 5- #2 Sail By
This is a stab but this is a filly who at one point was pretty talented. Makes second start for Antonacci, who has been firing here and I think this filly has the ability to take these a long way. Needs to find her best form again, but if she does she can win.

Damn we are up against each other in both races today. Hopefully we finish 1-2 in both. Good luck.

Sail By was somehow last early. Whatever. Sousa Summer got a flawless ride by Joel Rosario and got up late paying $9.30 and $4.40
