look for kent d

There's one I like in the 8th today quite a bit- Red Hot Bullet @ 12-1 ML. Came home in :12 flat last out to win going away at Keeneland, and a repeat of that performance at the same trip would be very competitive.

I thought she ran well also; though I don't necessarily think her last 1/8 was a noteworthy as you do and there were a few others coming with her late. There are a BUNCH of cut back horses in there today. Horses like Cato Major, for example, that bid in longer races.

My horse in the 7th probably moves up a little if the turf is really still "good."

I also think Cato Major is interesting on the cutback, would be the other one I'd play at the ML. we definitely have the cold trainer angle locked up on this pair... Kimmel 5-83 and Jolley 1-17, ugh

Jolley did have a high-priced winner yesterday, though. . .

Look at this race. It's a 'wipeout otherwise". Born to Be, in today's 7th, was also in it.

In terms of ground covered Cato Major ran 46 feet more than the winner. This makes sense as she was chasing wide the entire race. Born to Be, on the other hand, like all of Matz' horses, was sucking up INSIDE until early stretch when she came out and put in a nice late run, without changing leads. Hard to believe she ran 19 feet more than the winner, as she was on the hedge till after they entered.

In any event, Cato Major bids at the mile point and can't sustain it. However, Kent gave up very early with her and she was eased to the wire, almost losing 2nd. Grape Cottage, trying to move at the same time, bounced like a ball and ran terribly next time out at CD.

As for Red Hot Bullet: she needs to be good to deal with that wide turn and long stretch today. It might intimidate her.

Pretty Elusive could be the real deal. Yea she drifted badly. Curlin left for the parking in his debut as well. She flashed a little talent, maybe she can hold off Gomez today?

Well that worked out. I guess it was Javier's turn to get an unpressured stroll around the track. It's like the Belmont jockeys suddenly lose their minds when switching to turf.

that's his second winner of the year, that i have seen. Like seeing a falling star twice in the same month.

He only rides when he feels like it anyway.

Pretty surprised that Backseat Rhythm is 9-2, thought for sure she'd be lower.
