12/7: DeD (G3) $1MM Jackpot

[Bobby Fischer]

BF's BS

Cave's Valley may be the talent in the race. Dominguez shouldn't get a chance to steal the race out front with the presence of Betatron. May be best from 7f to a mile.

Racecar Rhapsody carries top form forward. Not a huge fan of the pedigree, Yet last was fairly competitive + willing finish vs. better at the distance.

St. Joe adds talent and speed. If others are patient this one could take the baton from Betatron. Is he adding a tongue tie or what? Has yet to rate, steps up in distance.

Overextended hasn't really shown any big time talent. On the surface(excuse Pun) he is an ordinary animal with an extraordinary $$ invested. May be a better animal on real dirt. Consider in exotics.

Betatron is a sprinter. Mena likely gets an opportunity shoot the rail , carry them wide into turn 1(likely forcing Dominguez to take back , possibly causing trouble with St. Joe) and preferably open up. Not a win contender but has a chance to hang around for the tri if all goes way early.
EDIT - LOOKS LIKE THE START IS PRETTY FAR BACK FROM THE TURN. HORSES SHOULD SETTLE BEFORE TURN.


Wouldn't be shocked to hear that Z Humor had some throat surgery to clear up the breathing after this race. One of the more impressive "derby prep" pedigrees. Without inside information or even a clocker for recent work, he is an unknown / tossing from smaller exactas.

Golden Yank is a solid local horse. If Betatron takes the field wide he should sit a nice trip. Could get third.
