Joe.. Thx for the thoughts...

"Attire" leaning towards Monmouth Saturday.. or Suffolk?

I know you're getting pressure to go Mass Cap, but as Pat says, he's never really run well there... And the 9f is an issue too, no? Good field shaping up for that Point Given if you go with Phil the Power and Delosvientios.

Delosvientios is the problem. He has beat Attire twice as the only speed in the race. If he gets out by himself on a speed favoring track like Monmouth, Attire may have a hard time running him down.
I would rather take a shot at the MassCap, third pays more than a win at Mommouth but Pat and I disagree on this one.

and I believe Santa Anita has 6 grade 1 races on the same day.

It will be a welcome change from the usual post-Saratoga and Del Mar lull during September.

I'm amped for JCGC day. Likely to be my last day at the track this year, and should be a great day of racing. Hope the weather cooperates.

One poor effort at Saratoga in the race Loose Leaf beat Temporary Saint.
