Tuscan Evening has gotten slow fractions in each of her wins this year. I'd be tempted to play Rainbow View here if I knew there was some speed to go with Tuscan Evening. I have not looked at the PPs yet though, so I'm not familiar with those other names

Hot Cha Cha is a Grade I winner.

The G3 Arlington Handicap came up way better than most G1 turf races I have seen this year.

I think the Catalano runner in the 10th race is an very solid single.
I'd like to play the late pick-4 but wow, the Arlington Handicap (9th) looks extremely tough to narrow down.

Mam Bird should be running a stakes race right now, if you ask me. Strike while the iron is hot, and that horse is absolutely ridiculous....but he's also got Super Robusto who has looked just as sick winning two starts on the Poly from the same ownership team, so he's just managing to keep them apart right now.

I'm thinking the same thing. If I can sort out the other races after I go get a DRF in a few minutes, the AH may be an 'all' or almost all button for me in it.

Though he may have distance limitations, I still like Asphalt in the Am Derby. I thought he ran a very nice at CD.

The guy on Against the Odds on HRTV also liked Mint Chip. The price is going to be terrific but I can't seem to determine why he did no running in either of those two turf races at CD.

As much as I'm a fan of hers, I can't believe Tuscan Evening is getting 9.5F on a real/fair turf course. Especially if there's some give to it.

Don't any of the other Southern CALI trainers have a turf sprinter they're looking to stretch out (1st time)? This would be a perfect spot.

Now way I would leave Asphalt off. Im playing it just like you with the single in the first leg, I will also lean on the top 2 in the last... Im inclinded to let Marsh Side and General POS beat me.

I know you almost have to find a single somewhere, and I wish you and Tom the best of luck, but singling against Hot Cha Cha here seems very risky to me. I think she has a HUGE chance.

She likely does and its a huge risk w/ Rainbow View off her last, Im hoping maybe to get 5-2, because I think she is simply the best horse if shes ok and runs to some of her back races.

You're crazy if you think you're getting 5-2 unless Hot Cha Cha all of the sudden gets tons of respect for the first time in her whole life. But I already told you that on Facebook, and in your defense, you posted this before I called you crazy over there.

Really? Which of her races make her such a stickout?

None, if you ask me, I think her Pimlico win was a complete mirage when Gomez hopelessly sent that Clement horse clear on the turn with the race poised to collapse. She then ran a terrible race at Woodbine and I question who she beat at Keeneland. Not a horse I want at 2-1 or less.

Are you turning into FatMan? You knock the most likely winner, but dont give a pick or opinion. Who do you like? I give my opinion and if its wrong, its wrong, but its out there. IMO its a lot easier to say 1 horse is going to lose, then to tout the winner. What your doing here, what FatMan does all the time and what CJ did last weekend with Rail Trip.
