It will be interesting to see how the shippers perform -- vanning into Iowa when it's 100 degrees outside isn't ideal.

In terms of paper picks here, one of my big angles is showing a bias to locally based horses and against shippers on summer days when the weather is most extremely hot.

[VOL JACK]

The trainers that have shipped in are not liking the condition of track.

I heard it is possible that Lopresti will scratch Successful Dan.

I just wish the track announcer could find other words to use besides " right there".

Fort Larned got loose through a 24.57 1st quarter.

Got his final furlong in 11 4/5.

I know you're trying to get as much mileage out of your new nickname for him as possible, but it's a little tough to pin this on Leparoux. Why the rider of Shadowbdancing enabled Fort Larned to establish such an easy lead is a little tough to determine.

i don't think anyone could have done anything else with dan-he was clearly a victim of the pace. leparoux might be due criticisms on occasion, but i don't think was one of those tiimes.
