Late Pick 4:

8th: Two regally-bred horses for two patient outfits in #3 Sabbatical (1/2 to Imagining) and #10 Crown Queen (1/2 to Royal Delta) and neither would be a surprise. Hard to figure Clement firster Gondole will go off at listed 12-1. #2 Nighttiming was a work partner with barn's best grass horse Artest. #13 Hillhouse High obviously the one to beat for the infallible Chad Brown. #1 Jamaica Bay goes out for Weaver and #4 Shine a Spotlight showed enough in her debut for Wilkes to give her a shot.

9th: Even with the scratch of Film Shot, the pace should be honest enough for #4 Sachem Spirit, who was too far out of it last time. Expecting him to improve 2nd off the bench as well. #7 Sarava's Dancer may have been best that day, chasing widest of the pace players and ending up an in-touch 4th. Should work out a good trip on a speed-favoring course. #6 Gentleman's Kitten beat some solid elders in his race two-back. #1 Kris Royal and #3 Share Out would be my C's.

10th: #2 Royal Delta does throw in some stinkers, but 3rd off yet another pointless Dubai trip, she should be ready to beat this field. #1 On Fire Baby and #5 Authenticity are nice horses, but simply aren't in the same class as Royal Delta on anything close to her best.

11th: #7 Abbey Street and #10 Divine Luck both are major overlays at their 6-1 M/L. #1 Enchanting Lisa and #2 Kitten's Queen are both very logical. There has to be a decent pace in this race with three speedy stretchouts, which would set things up for #12 Inspired Exchange, who showed some promise in the spring and is bred on both sides for grass.
