Best Bet: Race 7 #6 Nantasket Beach 3/1 - Was/will be hoping for a little better price, Aragona is great at this so I suppose he'll be right but anyway...I was interested in this horse in the Kelso so I kind of feel obligated in this spot. Since the claim I just think this horse has gotten really good. Mountain Bear kind of confirmed that last race was legitimate and who knows what we get from I'm Very Busy. If he's ready for his best off the bench then they're all running for second but I'll guess he's not and take a horse I view as a very likely winner if so.

Best Value: Race 8 #4 Pride's Crossing 15/1 - Get the sense that she's a bit of a wiseguy horse in here so I'm not sure we'll get 15/1, but she should be a good price. The debut clearly hinted at big ability...since switching to Chad I'm guessing the Tampa turf try was the best spot to get her 9F at the time...the Keeneland race was stolen by Prat on the front end and she was really just finding her best stride when it was far too late. Back out to 1 1/8th last and she was kind of disappointing to not win but I don't know if she really loved that track. She galloped out like she wasn't tired at all to me...the ambitious spotting in a race Chad definitely doesn't have to be running her seems like a big tip off of what he thinks of her to me.
