I'm a little surprised by some of the Jockey assignments.
Prado on Monba? Surprising JV or Gomez isn't riding what could be Pletcher's best hope for a Derby contender. And I thought Leporoux was on Court Vision? |

He does look like a contender. Always in the hunt. Right now, I am very interested in Make The Point. McLaughlin is the man when it comes to stretch outs and 2nd off. Will I get a price?? |

Personally I think this is a really good betting race. It seems like you could go a lot of different ways with this one, but I think Zito's chances here are very good.

Coa has ridden Anak and Court Vision and now on E. Fields.
I find this interesting. I have no idea about arrangements and trainers likes and dislikes with Jockey's "fitting" certain horses. Is it that Coa made this choice and will it be as bad as Calvin's decision to take Turf war getting off the winner...? I dont often trust the Jockey's decisions if they are given that privilege. |

What has Court Vision done wrong thus far? The only thing I can see is Mott entered him in a slow paced Remsen and the jock managed to get him bottled up until the 1/8 pole. He ran a much better race than the 76 BSF said he did.
Since this is his first race back he could be a little short. Plus his running style might not be right for the Gulstream Park track. There seems to be enough speed horses in the field to run a legitimate pace. If the track is fair he might be able a serious player. He'll be on my multis and if he's 4-1 or higher I'll place a win bet on him. |

The tricky thing about this race in terms of wagering is this race is only a prep race for Court Vision. Winning the race might not be the goal for the connections.

if adriano at all takes to dirt, and he's bred much better for dirt racing than turf racing, this race is over.
his 2nd dam was the very nice theatrical mare golden treat, who couldnt run a step on turf, but did manage to set a track record for 4.5 furlongs on dirt and later won the santa anita oaks. golden treat herself is also a half sister to the greatly under appreciated bet twice. his last race was spectacular, so either he just really loved the gp turf, or he has matured and developed. my only question is why were they running this horse on turf in the first place? |

based on what BTW?
he debuted on turf as a pretty early season 2yo. and if he sucks on dirt, why the placement of him here, instead of aiming him for all the turf races and a likely turf eclipse award? those ap indy - mr p mare crosses sure seem okay on dirt to me, and this horse has no turf breeding in him at all. it seems pretty far fetched to say he sucks on dirt at this point. |
