Quite simply, anyone who bet on or TOUTED Captain Ben was quite fortunate, and just because the track was playing a little bit more fairly, doesn't mean it still wasn't favoring speed.

Look either the track is screwed up or the timer is, because the $10K claimer Baby Afleet set a track record in the last race. In fact the last 2 races were both track records, although I'm sure they haven't run that many 1 5/8ths on the main.

You think the heavy rains have had anything to do with it?

Both Najjaar and Travel Advisory are back on Saturday in the 7th at Churchill on dirt. Not really sure why they both aren't running in the 6th on the grass.

Looks like Travel Advisory went through the sales ring at Keeneland since his last. Maybe that explains the decision to run on dirt although it still seems like a questionable move.

Doesn't look like there's much speed in the race, that might favor Travel Advisory who looks like he might be able to run on the lead (based on his turf race 2 back). Najjaar probably isn't going to get any kind of set-up for him.

I think I like the Margolis horse second off the layoff and adding the shades. He was wide the entire way and looked to run on his wrong lead for half the stretch last out and wasn't disgraced. Should be near the front, but I'm guessing his price will be very short.
