Brass Hat and Silver Lord are the plays IMO.

I guess he can't lose now.

The problem with the race is the lack of speed, which will obviously help Silver Lord, and hurt Brass Hat, but also it works in Grasshopper's favor as he can stalk Silver Lord and he is a solid grinder type.

Honestly, and maybe I just have no feel for these races, I couldn't make a solid case for anyone ouside the favorites in the four stakes I looked at.

With the torrential rain in NY, it was absolutely pouring tonight, tomorrow feels like pretty much a pass for me.

CAN'T LOSE, so true....

IMO, Proudinsky is worth a play. I am telling ya, they are going to pound Daytona and Solis will **** it up.

If I worried about jockeys screwing it up when I bet I would never bet. People will blame Solis if Daytona loses but I highly doubt he will have anything to do with it.

It looks like a chalky day...
















































that means bombs will fly. It never fails. I'll say it'll be some locals to blow things up.

You may be right Pillow.....but I can't see any bombs so if they win I won't have them.

Thus.....passeana.

No doubt about it.

I went to the fairgrounds website and the track is listed as good and the turf course is listed as OFF.

It is gonna be a wait and see kinda day. I imagine the track will be changing after every other race. Also imagine the turf horses will scratch

shorter fields and shorter prices... not too excited about the day.
