They have split it into divisions the last three years or so

Big fan of Afleet Ruler in this spot. Got a real bad ride last time and it was discussed that his last race was a tightener for this spot, not sure what kind of odds will be available though

Should be real short.

Indian Sun looks interesting in the first division.

OMG....Scav, come on. Isn't it obvious he is better one turning? I guess not. That's a horse who is simply better going one turn (7f type horse.) He could get a game 2nd, but this track is gunna play longer than HWD's course. I don't see it. Maybe in the 2nd half of the meet(turf worn down some.) He was a short price for a damn good reason the other day. That wasn't a spot he should of failed in(at all) if he liked to two turn very well. Maybe Gomez can stretch him, but I won't be surprised if he hangs a bit (late.)

I don't know, I think he was out there to get a race into him, with this being the goal. I agree that anything more then 8f is probably testing it, but the race has a little speed that should flatter his close a little.....If I were playing, I would be playing him, based on the belief that his last race was a tune up for this spot.

Scav, you think they are talking about Nima's home, or her napkin?

In the 2nd division , I like these 3 horses. Not, because the others aren't any good, but I think most of them are better 1 turning. Probably one of them will stretch out and win, but I think these three are the best suited for what they are being asked to do.

1 Liberian Freighter Flores D R 121 L
13 Bingham Bejarano R 117 L
14 Rumba Along Nakatani C S 117 L

11-14 are AE's correct?

I like Liberian Freighter a little bit but the horse that's drawing the most interest from me is Tangled Tango. Tough race for first on the turf but Canani can have them ready.

Tango is a game horse. Canani shoots for this meet. Don't particularly like the breeding. He has been tolerating the 2 turns. That may work, again. I think he is much tougher if Devil's Afleet were to scratch. T BAZE is gunna ride until he is 60. A 60 year old brat. I just know it. He's like one of the villain's on the old batman series.

I am not saying I am betting the race and I also like Liberian Freighter, should get a great trip. Gonna watch some replays and look at the sheets and see what I can come up with.

This might be a very safe bet, especially since the top 3 finishers of the $45-50k claiming race that went more than 2 seconds faster (with faster earlier splits) the same day aren't in the race.

I see the wide trip, however.
