Churchill 7th Sunday, excellent grass allowance

[dylbert]

Entry looks very formidable today -- Cajun jockey connection, Albarado & Theriot, could both hit board...

But with that angle you gotta consider Borel, Guidry, Lanerie, Desourmeaux, and Hernandez with Bayou State roots as well. I agree this should unfold as excellent, very competitive turf race.

I like the 7 here. Horse has been running against monsters and if turf pedegree comes through style should put him right there.

Yates Black Cat pays $11.80, I should have been happy with that.

Is it me or has this current CD meet been more random than the Poly madness at Kee? This is an added problem with the synthetic tracks; you not only have to figure out who will handle the transition to Poly, but figure out who had fraudulent form on the carpet and who's wasn't. Its getting to be too much guesswork. I think I'll just play NY and Maryland.

I completely agree. Yesterday was the first time I played Churchill with any great seriousness (no Youbet for CD keeps me out) and I found it just what you said- random. Maybe I was peeved about Aqueduct cancelling or something but I found some of the results really head-scratching.

I did bet Top Royelle though and thought we had it for a while. 'Twas a good run nonetheless.

I have really been focusing on pre-poly dirt form. I didn't play today but yesterday I hit a few nice prices at Hawthorne and CD by crossing out poor poly performances and focusing on there dirt results, especially over the track where they were running.

the first on turf maidens with bad synthetic form can still be a turf horse.
Synthetic success doesn't necessarily translate to dirt success. Synthetic Success precluded by turf experience translates to pretty good turf form...
Right now the jockeys are important at Churchill. Know thier styles and know who is riding well.
That Dylan Williams is tough because he can run dead last or he can get out on a pace and put a bum horse in the money with a fearless ride. Hernandez is overlooked. Sterling is horrible. Kent is class , Borel is one of the best when hot. Leparoux strikes the front with the right horse. Bejarono is solid. Mena is solid on the dirt only...

Know the jockeys at CD as well.
