I may not know much about pedigree but I do know the son of Kris S and Cesario is one to watch. That said, Epiphaneia will be bet waaay down so looking elsewhere for the top spot.

Codino and Logotype should take a lot of money as well so I'm thinking of going with Red Ruler, Tamamo Best Play and Fame Game in the top spots (and using the favorites to fill out the tri / super).

Not sure what to do about Camino Tassajara but am pretty sure whichever way I go it will be incorrect.

Good luck if you're playing.

Lots of old timers lining up for the Tenno Sho (next weekend) including Jaguar Mail (9), Meiner Kitz (10), and Tokai Trick (11).

Red Cadeaux has been there for nearly a week now... he's the only international runner. (He's owned by Ronald Arculli, the former Chairman of the HKJC).

The favorite almost never wins this race so it should be fun to (try to) cap!

Gold Ship is a fantastic horse and will clearly be the huge favorite tonight in the Tenno Sho but like I said, the favorite usually doesn't win this race so looking elsewhere.

I like Admire Rakti. He's at 18/1 in the morning line and am thinking of using him in the top spot.

2nd fav will be Fenomeno and have to use this one and Gold Ship in the 2nd spot.

Looking at some of the big longshots to fill out the tri / super... maybe Red Davis and Forgettable (cute name ).

Not sure what to do about Red Cadeaux but prefer Tosen Ra if I'm gonna look to fill out the tri / super.

In terms of sentiment, good luck to my favorite old warrior in the race, Jaguar Mail.

Morning line...
