No love for Believe in A. P.?

The anchor man off; 3 turf works since the last race; and wins with stronger handling last out.

Who's the anchor man? Leparoux rode him last out.

It's worth noting too that this race is scheduled for the inner turf, which is very surprising to me. The chances that someone gets obliterated on the first turn are very high.

My bad. Lezcano rode him 1st time out. When I saw the horse unable to stay on righty lead in the stretch, I just assumed that Jose was on him -- as this is his trademark (among other shortcomings).

i know the 7th isn't that easy of a race, but i can only come up with the obvious choices (1 and 6). Matz firing at 4% clip with firsters isn't that inviting. Rudy Rudy Rudy would be interesting if he draws in, and #5 Power Dreams first on the grass caught my eye as well

Power Dreams is a single to me, real good work on the surface he was almost guaranteed bred for. The only other horse is the first time Chad Brown but Power Dreams has alot of things I like when betting a horse in a baby race (3rd race, ran decent on his likely least preferred surface, two sprints / route). I expect him to be on or near the lead and just let his experience take over at the half mile pole

A single? Are you crazy? THat horse is like one of 5 who can win, and one of my 3 a's.

I think the Matz horse might be a price. It's risky with Lezcano up but if he's close to 10:1, I'll try him. And definitely use him for 2nd in exactas.

I'd definitely use him. Belong to Me is a good win early sire, Matz actually has two debut winners going long on the turf in the last year and both of the dam's prior two foals (Stormy Relations and Relatively Ready) showed signs of life at 2.

He's also brought the horse along nicely it seems, working him in company with five-year-old turf horse Sharif Al Medina on 8/25.
