It seems like a very odd spot for Cerin. I don't know if the horse has physical problems or what. Very gappy pattern and it looks like Cerin has tried just about everything with this horse.

The 7 is a must include IMO Unusual Heat, Abrams and Bejarano makes it a no-brainer. No way he goes off at 6-1. I think the 5 will take to the turf well and it looks to me like Solis chose the 5 over the 8. I also think the 6 is very playable and might include depending on how deep I end up going. The 10 may be live too. I will take a look and see if he is getting any action on the board before playing.

I don't like the 7 day return from Abrams, I know he succeeds at it, but just not a fan.

I agree about Garcia, but it might be hard to mess this one up....horse will be able to clear pretty easily in this field

4th. Love the 7 and like the 1
5th. Like the 1 and will also play 7 as a shot

Looking more.....

What are you doing in the 7th? Odd race, horses off layoffs and most coming from turf races.

1,5,8,9

5 is probably my best play within the race, the only reason this would be feasible because I am singling the 5th and 6th (2 and 5)

In the 6th....I really like Samwise, although a bit worried he may fall too far back. Kingdom Come looks good but he sprints better than he routes

[Rootdog1]

In the 7th...
what do you take of Mike Smith riding Silver Swallow? Interesting...

I think Two Times Won is interesting at a price

Number wise, his route four back was very good. Very competitive with the field, and he seems like a horse that if he is in the front he runs better. I have a feeling that Quasimodo won't even finish the race and there really isn't much. Samwise is very playable, but given the connections, they can beat me and I am content with it, a real bad race. The other thing about Kingdom Come is that the 8 is going to gun (Shootist) so he should get a great trip right off that horse.

The horse that peaked my interest as a bomb would be Wee Jinky, think he is a turf horse and could get the right trip/price on him today to put some win coin on him

The price horse I like in the 6th is #8 Outside Looking In....prob wont win but playing under. He has found his game routing, big kick in the lane.

[Rootdog1]

Need some help on the 8th...impossibe.

CNak coming in for one mount today, Returning
What do you make of Carla's horse blinks off?
Cali Blaze has a great long work pattern for her comeback - must use
Ernie Owl is an expensive kin of Tale of the Cat..not a big Cassidy fan but I think this one is sneaky good

Also, Scavs...do you have any trainer stats on Brian Strong...he has a firster in the 9th - #10 California General. I like the work pattern

My problem with Kingdom Come is that I don't understand why Periban would put the worst turf rider on the West coast on his back? I am probably going 2,6,9 in this race. Shootist probably can't get the distance but speed has been deadly on the turf.

Wants him on the lead, would be my guess
