Shaggy Mane definately gets the lead here. I also like the fact that La Traviata has a race over the Monmouth surface. And that race on 8/25 was very very good. However, Dream Rush has two Grade I wins.

Why do you even bother with jag offs like this Whodey idiot. Besides being the master of the obvious, he is a Grade I prick.


Anyways....back to the race....Shaggy Mane has zero shot.....Will most likely get cooked with Dream Rush and La Traviata who both are need the lead types..... I think the horses to look at here are Wild Gams....Maryfield...and even Miraculous Miss isnt impossible here if the pace is hot.

Extremely speed favoring track for sprints, yet the field is loaded with early speed types. If pace makes the race,this would bode well for favorite Midnight Lute. However, I don't like the lack of progression that led to Lute's last speed fig. Don't want to cal it a bounce, I just doubt that fig will be replicated. Lute has never run on an off track, and I consider sire Real Quiet to be a non-lover of off tracks

So, I have to take a stand against Midnight Lute, and will side with Commentator,if the track is indeed wet. 3-3 on off tracks is no coincidence, as the horse is sired by Distorted Humor.

The Dirt Mile(on Friday): Wow! Dubai Jinx for Discreet Cat last out or what?

Enough superstition, though, this looks like a bad field and I'll not go against Discreet Cat here. Will investigate the pick 3 and DD that conclude with this race

Filly and Mare Sprint;I'll side with La Traviata. This is the 8th race on Friday, Discreet Cat should dominate the 10th. This makes the 9th race, the Juvenile Turf, a race I can really go deeper in the Pick 3
