5/15 (PIM): B/E Susan (G2); Miss Preakness (G3); McKay Turf Sprint

[slotdirt]

I love the turf sprint circuit, though I hate to see what ends up happening to horses like Mighty Beau.

[Pedigree Ann]

Since that day is my birthday, I expect all of the horses to run according to the way I think they will.

[Danzig]

Any info as to why she won't?

Hooh Why will sit out Black-Eyed Susan

Hooh Why, winner of the Ashland Stakes and the morning-line favorite for Friday's Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes, won't be making the trip from Arlington Park to Pimlico, trainer Donna Dupuy said Tuesday.

Dupuy said that Hooh Why had been entered in the Black-Eyed Susan with the idea of running if the race appeared to be unusually weak for the class level.

"If it looked like it were a really soft spot, we might have taken a shot," said Dupuy, who trains Hooh Why for Derby Daze Farms and Mark Hoffman.

Hooh Why would have been making just her second dirt start had she come for the Black-Eyed Susan, and she may instead ship to Woodbine for a Polytrack stakes - the $150,000 La Lorgnette - scheduled for Sunday.

She won't run or she won't run well? I doubt you'll see her much on real dirt. Casanova Move would've blown her away.

she won't be in the gate.

Even if she is in the gate, Hooh Why has no chance to win anyway. Casanova Move is all right, but she doesn't exactly look like she has a penchant for winning. I think the Black Eyed Susan is a pretty simple race.

Thorse to beat is very much Don't Forget Gil who has shown the ability to finish and pass horses. She chased a pretty talented filly who was loose on the lead on a wet track last time in Dream Play. She has been very good since stretching out and ran a bang up race in the Florida Oaks. I will be suprised if Don't Forget Gil doesn't get the job done.

Underneath I would use Payton D'Oro, Stone Legacy, Casanova Move, and Renda who all look like they have some ability and can finish. Casanova Move is faster than the other three which is why she's a must use, but the other three can finish. Bon Jovi Girl ain't much and I'll be shocked if she hits the board in here.

In the Miss Preakness, if anyone is going to beat Heart Ashley or Mani Bhavan, it's going to be Gatorette who is probably better sprinting, and simply went too fast too early last time. Any horse who is a one dimensional speed horse is in trouble with Mani Bhavan in here. She could actually be loose here and if she is she's very dangerous. Bold Union was pretty bad last time and Stew Elliot is the perfect guy to work out a good trip from the rail for sure. No one else in here other than the top three and Bold Union on her best day have a race that's even remotely good enough to contend in here.

[JJP]

Heart Ashley will be overbet. In her last race, the expected speeds didn't break well and she inherited the lead. She may win but it will be as an underlay.
