Funny, I have three of Kasept's top four in my Road to the Roses stable. I like Xchanger here, though I think Hard Spun is just too tough.

I honestly like Forty Grams here, but I wouldn't toss Teuflesberg either.

Cajun,
I also think Teuflesburg could be a surpriser. Nice recent workout.

Donnie Von Hemel is a top trainer who rarely makes the national spotlight.

Steve, this is a great observation. Donnie is the real deal, nobody out works him. I know all 3: Don Sr., Donnie, and Kelly. They had Mariah's Storm (Dreamer) when she was bred and shortly after the sale at KEE foaled Giant's Causeway.

These guys are good, worth noting for Monday.

Good luck.

One-turn horse, IMHO. Will go a mile at Aqueduct maybe.

Ped Anne,
You might be entirely correct. I don't know yet.
This one could be a "middler".
We'll see.

My prediction: The Lukas horse will quit at the quarter pole like all his other animals.

Default To much horse for a high risk

Officer Rocket (GB), 119, Calvin H. Borel
Our Sacred Honor (KY), 117, John R. Velazquez


1 for 17 for the 9 spot at the Hot Springs at a mile or more, !Hum! hard to go against. Spun dont need to show nothing. They gone to waith for a better condiction of race. As always the better losse for diferents situations. Officer and Sacred looks that the class forgeted in the race, and Luckas maybe will be revival.

THis is a much better race than the prep at Tampa Bay. There are clearly horses in here with big upside. I think Forty grams and Officer Rocket are very interesting in very different ways.

I will tried to write better, or at least I got your attention. I just said that the horse dont need to win this race. As most times, the traineer want to know how it will handle some conditions. Remeber the goal. May.

Forty Grams shouldn't have much problem with this field. Maybe Hard Spun is better than I am giving him credit for but my money will be against it.

Well guys, the winners of races 7 and 8 came out of the 6 hole. What are the chances that pp #6 wins 3 in a row?
