I've been watching some of the races on Youtube, and was impressed with the way In Summation shaped in the Bing Crosby but, on the back of that, I guess he's been a mite disappointing since. I guess we're looking for a closer, so would Abraaj perhaps get the thing run to suit? Any views on Midnight Lute's well being?

In the Turf I thought Grand Couturier looked good last time and, together with Eagle Mountain, felt he probably had a good chance against a bunch of Europeans who are likely to be over the top.

For the Classic Curlin looks to represent poor value and thought there was some sense in taking him on with Casino Drive and Well Armed.

Any views welcome on these races and any other. Thanks!

Abraaj is out.


As it's a synthetic surface race... I feel it's very difficult to gage how horses who haven't run on it --or run much on it--(Fabulous Strike, J Be K, Desert Key) will do. I'd lean toward the horses proven over that type of surface: Street Boss, Cost of Freedom, In Summation, Fatal Bullet (watch his last race)
Midnight Lute is a total wild card with 1 race this year and coming in off a layoff.
