2 Graded stakes before noon... Absurd. They could have started the graded at 1 and have races 6-12 all graded.

While I agree with you, the card is bad enough when you look inside the lack of talent filling the fields. If you stack all of the graded races at the back, you would have minimal handle on the first several races.

I like Wesley in the Dixie. Good field, but everybody has holes. Wesley was up against it trying to close from last into a slow pace in the Muniz and it looks like the blinks kept him more involved early in the Miami Mile. Lauro's interesting as well. This is probably the best race on the card.

This has to be the first time in like six years that some combination of Better Talk Now, Artie Schiller, and Dreadnaught aren't in the race.

RA is the horse to beat but I am really liking TAKE THE POINTS in this one. His last two can be said that he is not a synthetic horse and his dirt win was pretty good. His works since his last race looks sharp and blinkers probably will help him. At 30-1 m/l looks good to fill the Exacta.

$30 Ex Box RA with TAKE THE POINTS

$50 w/p Take The Points

Nope, Wesley gets the same dumbass ride he got in the Muniz. My horses run 3rd and 4th. Chalkfest.

Chalk annoys me. Live in the late P4 to Rachel, Papa Clem, MTB and POTN.
