Turfway

R8 - Kentucky Cup Juvenile

#7 Blackberry Road - Draw a line through his Arlington Washington Futurity because of a rough trip. Nice workout last Monday and I'm expecting a big effort going two turns for the 1st time.

W/P on #7

R10 - Kentucky Cup Classic

#1 Hard Spun - Should be able to set comfortable fractions with this small field.
#3 Street Sense - Derby champ has bigger fish to fry come Oct 27th.

Santa Anita

R9 - G1 Goodwood

#4 Tiago - Shireffs has been patient with the talented 3yr old as he faces elders for the 1st time. He's been training well across town at Hollywood Park's cushion track which is very similar to the one installed at Santa Anita. He should sit a nice ground saving trip behind the speed.
#3 Lewis Michael - Is currently in razor sharp form and there's no reason to think he will fire a dud.
#8 Awesome Gem - Has been extremely consistent facing Cali's best.
#7 Lava Man - Was it the Del Mar Poly or are his skills diminishing? SCR
#1 Arson Squad - Didn't care for the Poly at Del Mar.

Ex Box 4 with 1 3 8

Presque Isle Downs

R7 - Fitz Dixon Jr. Memorial Juvenile

#7 Sok Sok - Little Nick will have plenty of company up front to set it up for the talented Asmussen runner. At 4-1 or better a sizeable win bet is the way to go.

Good Racing Luck
