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

with it being sloppy, I'm taking a flier on a 3-3 winner on slop for the Sprint. I'll take Commentator (might not be the best horse, but proven winner on slop).
