The Bing Crosby Handicap

[miraja2]

I kind of like Declan's Moon at 8/1.
It is sort of a strange race, because it is a G1 in which none of the horses in the race are coming off a triple-digit BSF.
Declan's Moon and In Summation are both coming off 99s (obviously the highest of any of these) and they are 8/1 and 12/1 respectively.
Declan's Moon seems to have been reborn with the switch to the tires, and you have to respect Ellis's numbers 2nd off, and on the tires. Seems like a good play to me, but I doubt if he actually goes off at 8/1. Probably more like 5/1, I would guess.

hard to say what to think of declans moon. finally back to his winning ways, but this is deeper than the field he faced a few weeks back. which one shows up? the former champ, or the one who showed up so much after his comeback?
ez warrior showed some tremendous talent before his long break, heck of a way to come back.

Hard to make sense of this race. Not sure how these horses are going to perform on Del Mar's new surface. I know I am going to stay away from Bordonaro and EZ.

Greg's Gold is a horse that I sort of like in this race.

Really interesting race, but no real clue how to play it.
Wouldn't play either Bordonaro or EZ Warrior.
I would give a good look to Battle Won or Greg's Gold.
Declans Moon has made steady progress, but not sure he's up to this.

Interesting, for sure.
I'm thinking Battle Won.

[ninetoone]

I'd go E Z Warrior

I can't imagine Declan's Moon will go off near 8-1. He won his last race totally geared down over the synth at Hol so he can handle the fake stuff.

I liked him more when he was with his former trainer.

I also did. But a horse runs the race, not the trainer.
Good luck.

Well I guess I had an interesting observation.......and then picked the wrong horse.
