What made them run the Ticonderoga last? Odd... Then again, today's feature is on the track now, for the 5th.

The Empire Classic was generally the last race on Showcase Day, right?

For what it's worth these races are solid and should offer great value.

No value at all on the 6th. 7th, the 5,6 look tough Ill back up with 1,7,9. Im must be missing the value on the 8th. I think its all 10,11... Will toss in the 4 just in case. Where is your value? Ill also be making a large bet on Paraiba in the last. Been chasing this girl, trips have been horrible. I need one good late run tomorrow.

The three non-stakes might have a grand total of 2 horses at less than 3-1 and if one of them is City Train they can have him.

The two 2YO races are wide-open though Bandbox should be very tough. I can see Crea's Law running well in there. I think the entry will give Straight Story all he can handle. He was far from impressive in the West Point over a very speed-favoring course when he loafed early.

I'm against Meese Rocks tomorrow because she doesn't want a yard more than 6.5 furlongs. If she wins it's because Dominguez is a magician. I do like Lovely Lil as well though. My Dinah can easily win that race.

Friend or Foe should be tough in the Empire Classic but the fact that Kimmel was poised to enter him in two stakes races worth more money and opted out is disconcerting. His entrymate has come out of nowhere and looks like a new horse so that could be F or F's pick me up if he needs it.

The nightcap is wide open, Paraiba deserves another chance I guess but I'm starting to think she just isn't any good and she just fooled everyone in that Delaware race against a crappy field.

Good luck.
