This is a VERY treacherous sequence.. Put a line through the 2 off/turf starts for Menacing Dennis and note his improving line on the Beyer scale (45-57-71). Sciacca ITM 50% at meet thus far (18/4-5-1) and has taken an instant liking to the way Gallardo rides. Given difficulty of sextet, may need to go narrow here with him, Piazza Del Campo and Clyde’s Image. Passport to Chaos & Sir Temple City are first turf and bred for it..
Most Likely: #4 Menacing Dennis 3-1 4th

Weather Concerns Dog Huge Raceday
Enormous day of racing across the country Saturday and remarkably, all three major venues are being plagued with bad spring weather. In New York, temperatures won’t get much past 49 and there is a real chance of snow flurries or freezing rain.
