Maybe 6-5?

And nice job by NYRA to get ahead of this and be proactive. The bettors will surely appreciate it.

I personally think that she would be extremely tough to single. The drop looks a little suspect, add that to the fact that there is other speed in the race and she is breaking from the extreme outside. Plus there is a good chance that this is the first time she will step on to an off track, all at a very short price.

Nobody else in here has been competitive against open company allowance horses (on either surface). Aquit's April 2nd race looks to have come back strong. I'm not worried about the drop (they only paid $50K for him) and the extremely positive jock switch helps matters. I'm worried about the off track, but who else in here looks like they'll relish it?

The #3 has handled the slop at least once. She seems like the speed of the speed and should be on the engine early. I also think if the #1 could work out a trip from the rail she should be close enough to be a factor late.
