Hard as I tried, cannot get past the top choices..

Most Likely: #12 Dowse’s Beach 7-2 WON ($6.20)

Best Value: #2 Hooked Forever 8-1 3rd
Exotics Use: #4 Il Vagabondo 30-1 8th

2nd: MSW, F&M-3+, 7f (P4, P3, DD)

Not a lot of speed signed on here. Someone (Brilliant Jewel? Ridingwiththedevil?) can dictate from up front. Note that Skidmore was ‘fast early’ target for Tea Time in tandem drill 7/26 and may show speed off the long layoff. Wondering if T2D, cutback, blinkers triple whammy doesn’t get Guilty Verdict involved from the outset too. Tricky start to early quad..

With money magnet Pletcher starters signed on (Royal Son; Mariano Intheninth) value will be found easily on firster candidates like Sir William Bruce & Burndines and 2nd out runners Evolution & Pride of Stride..

As discussed this week, trust Eddie Plesa’s judgement directing Itsmyluckyday towards this opportuity. Palace Malice still needs to be bested of course, but he’ll be after the Lawyer Ron colt in the stretch. Interesting sidebar here is Lawyer Ron’s own Whitney success and subsequent epic battle with Palace Malice sire Curlin in the Jockey Club Gold Cup 2 months later. Kind of fun that their sons tangle 7 years later..

1st: NY-MCLM/$40k, 3+, 9f (P5, P3, DD)

This is some kind of hodge podge of middling horseflesh. Half switch turf to dirt (2-3-7-8) and 2 stretch out (4-5). Jacob’s Here drops from open MSW to state-bred MCLM. Hmm..

3rd: MSW, F&M-3+, 9f (P3, DD)

Terrific lineup of 3yo maiden fillies that have plenty of upside yet. Rachel Alexandra full sister Samantha Nicole makes 2nd start and figures to appreciate the trip. And you can be sure that KMc — already strong with this kind of layoff — wants to impress new client Stonestreet. Motion’s Luna Time (10-1) has plenty of pedigree power for today’s stretchout as the Malibu Moon chestnut is out of High Yield mare High Moment who won the Dr. Penny (8.5f-T) for Rodney Jenkins. High Moment is a half to Jimmy Toner’s Sir Whimsey who won the GP Handicap (9.5f)..

Odd cast lacking clear pacesetter. North Slope working lights out for return. St. Moose offers price punch and might find himself on easy lead. Should be an easy day for speed figure makers given 3 races at 9f in the first 4 of the day!

Munnings Sister tries to take her strong sprint game to the lawn. Has been working on the turf and merits big shot if she takes to it, but there’s not a lot of support for her family-wise as a grass runner. I’ll try to play against in-race but use liberally in multis..

More than enough pace to allow Willet to scoop them up late. Atlantic’s Smile working brilliantly for 2nd start under Baker’s watch and though improvement needed yet from 4yo debut, half sis of Johannesburg Smile has the upside to warrant confidence. Galiana nipped Winning Image at DEL, but has reacted after big efforts previously and regression more likely than the improvement needed to rebuff Willet..

Thoroughly spectacular day Saturday at the Spa with beautiful weather and terrific action accommodating an ebullient throng of 31k+. The performances were excellent starting with the Pletcher powerhouse Competitive Edge (88 Beyer) whose debut sends him toward a Hopeful matchup with Big Trouble and the rest of the better Sanford exiters. Coup de Grace and C Zee were very good in the Amsterdam but the effort of The Big Beast 25 minutes earlier left an impression on observers. The Larry Jones and Tony Dutrow charges both earned 100 Beyers and a meeting in the King’s Bishop.

In the co-feature, Jimmy Jerkens capped off the Jim Dandy-Curlin double as Wicked Strong showed a new dimension parlaying blinkers-on into an authoritative Travers prep victory (98 Beyer) on the front end. Twenty four hours earlier, Jerkens had sent V. E. Day to a rallying score in the Curlin (88 Beyer) which marked Jose Lezcano’s 2,000th career win. Belmont Stakes hero Tonalist was an adequate but no excuse 2nd, failing to ever get closer than a length to the Wood Memorial winner. The result adds some rivalry pizazz to the Travers with the Centennial Farms star out-finishing the Robert Evans color-bearer for the first time in 3 meetings. Kid Cruz certainly will go in the meet’s Classic as well and with Haskell players potentially joining the fray, the Travers looms as an excellent confrontation at the end of August.

Work at the windows continued to build steam steadily Saturday too, with some key horse triggering tremendous multi-race or exotics returns. Wins from $58 Away Game, $17 Razzle Jazil and the excellent effort of 21-1 nightcap runner up Charity Reins all helped fill the coffers including the 3rd-5th and 4th-6th bonanza P3’s ($371; $1,016). Already enjoying a day where some good betting choices augmented solid opinions, it looked mid-stretch like Bravo and the Serpe claimant would parade home $45 winners in the 11th. But to his credit, Chris DeCarlo gave Elroi an absolutely brilliant ride and the Peter Pugh trainee inhaled Charity Reins in the final yards and a $326 ($2) exacta had to be the consolation prize.

Hope everyone did well. Another deep and tricky card on tap today with weather a bit threatening. Monmouth of course has a fantastic Haskell Day slate to consider as well..
