he has but at a decent price tomorrow and finally getting on turf, he has to be used... especially over horses like Rouge and Frankels horse.

In the 'cap I'll side with Discreet Treasure. He's been the heavy favorite in all 3 of his races, lost the last two but one race was a 2nd to Dr Pleasure. He's been competitive against good quality horses for the level and is now possibly 15-1. Loved the mud in his career opening, a race that was taken off the turf. So, they give him two more shots at dirt and realize he won't excel. The switch back to a grass race should be a huge plus for this horse

I feel good

Mike I wasn't trying to give you a hard time as I didn't see your comments until now when I posted. Discreet Treasure has just been one of those "Hoovers" sucking up good money while posting solid numbers and I think the turf is more desperation than desired choice but if he beats me tomorrow I'll sing your praises......

Anyone have anything on the earlier races ? 2-5 ?

3rd Joppa Flats is clearly the one to beat IMO
4th Appears to be wide open as well as the 5th

2nd... im not sure how i feel about Leo or Missile Motor

Joppa Flats? Isn't that the horse that always runs 2nd?

#11 Hammock (12-1 ML) is somewhat intriquing in the nightcap from the outside post with elements of both early speed and closing ability in his PP's .
Rajiv has won on him at this track and distance. If Baletti doesn't fire for some reason. Mr Sidney/Valtrus and Hammock should be the main competition the former at shorter odds than Hammock.

Discreet Treasure is another example of a decent dirt horse unable to win again trying turf as a cure for "good not great disease". Rogue Victory is interesting. I don't usually play MSW winners next out in contentious fields and this one is pretty salty for a N1X. If he beats me I'll sleep okay.

3,11/7,8 for me in the last one

come on man, his good race is his 56 length maiden score, one of the best jocks sticking with him, and a turf pedigree
