8th: Appalachian (G2), 3yo-F, 1m-T (P4, P3, DD)

Perhaps the day's most intriguing race with cast of Herecomesthebride reshuffled, invasion of Counterbalance from CA and seasonal debut of Just Aloof from Chad..

Best Value: #1 Spirit Doll 15-1 9th
Next Best: #7 Just Aloof 10-1 4th
Exotics Use: #9 Sister Troienne 5-2 5th
Super Add: #11 Counterbalance 15-1 8th


9th: Madison (G1), F&M-4+, 7f ($3 Late P3, DD)

Quirky edition of this early year F&M Sprint Division standard with pair from Joseph appealing more than those of Mott. Mystic Lake comes into this in better form than her try a year ago and is irresistible at 20-1..

Super Add: #11 Joe Shiesty 8-1 5th


11th: Blue Grass (G1), 3yo, 9f (Hi-5)

Loss of Class President took the luster out of this event. Faves just appear better than the rest, though Great White is an unknown on the main track..

Most Likely: #4 Reagan's Honor 5-2 6th
Next Best: #6 Further Ado 8-5 WON ($3.70)
Best Value: #3 Great White 15-1 5th
Exotics Use: #5 Creole Chrome 8-1 4th
