Warrior's Reward from Wilkes is a little interesting. How about Gomez coming in to ride Dunkirk with Prado ditching him for Alma d'Oro? Should be a neat race.

Will Alma D'oro be over 8:5?

He shouldn't be.

Nice race , this is a really good chance to review some video and really get an opinion about a few of these who haven't yet clearly defined their ability level.

Dunkirk and Alma D'oro could each take a good backing , and some of these others are at least worth a look. More Than Willing has made some good headway in each race and and headway on the turn is big in these GP 9F. A lot of these races are won when a horse makes that headway and then nobody gains position in the stretch- they all just grind home. Looked like Dunkirk did a lot of good running in the lane itself - maybe that is going to help him draw off?//maybe it will be nullified at the distance?.
Warriors Reward was part of that gift-from-Barbaro exacta, and I honestly have to watch him all over again, don't even remember his run. American Dance is well bred and has some decent races on paper- have to look him over as well.

lots of fun

Warriors Reward skipped up the fence fast coming for home. He wasn't exactly "far back" but he was pretty much the only closer on that card.

got a good response from Warrior's Reward. Love how quiet Borel is when he wants to get headway, and is still standing up "under wraps".

Those of you who downloaded the bris PPs a few days ago may want to to download today's copy.
Dunkirk's maiden race was upgraded in the RR(109 to 111) and CR(111 to 115) ratings [sarcastic oooooooooh].

Extra Extra - hot off the press Alma D'oro's Feb 15th 5f work.

How long will Jet Set Vinny be on the lead?

American Dance is the other Pletcher horse
