PRE-SCRATCHES

6th: MSW, 3yo, 9f-T/108′ (P6, P3, DD, Super)

Some attractive options at bonus totes here. Animal Kingdom full brother Thursby tries to get moving in right direction. Potentially a big day for Team Valor with Crimson China in the 4th, Vamos a Ver in the 8th and the top pair in the 3yo turf stake Kitten’s Joy later..

A less-engaging than expected 3yo ALW. Not much speed here, so if Juan Leyva can take control, there’s a chance Rev It Up wires them. Lone speed is the first scenario you look for in 7f races. Andy Serling taught me that 15 years ago..

Chess match with favored Gondorf inside and trying to take them the trip under Contreras. Gets subtle class relief too from good McKnight and straight N1X tries since coming south. Navy Wings (20-1) an interesting price idea under Kent D. who is very under-rated pilot turf routing. Why is Pletcher running the Maiden in here? Crying for the added ground and no MDN race likely this distance I guess?

As discussed Tuesday with Andy Serling on ATR, Sportswriter (4-1) is new in Rudy Rod barn off Flying Zee dispersal purchase by savvy owner Dubb. Former trainer of that gelding Carlos Martin has the horse to beat in Bizarroworld (2-1). Think I’m Hooked (6-1) turns back after disasterous stretchout try in Runyon.

The ‘now’ filly is Reneesgotzip who dazzled in Dec. debut and goes immediately into this ripe GS opportunity for Miller and the Lanni Family.

Exotics Use: #7 Better Lucky 8-1 5th

8th: NY-OC/N2X, 4+, 1m-70y (DD, Super)

No less than 3 here — Star of New York, Iron Lou, Itsagoodtendollars — run 1st off the claim, with all going to sharp operators. Not a lot of speed involved either, so look for Lopez to hustle Itsagoodtendollars from that wide berth..

Exotics Use: #3 Star of New York 8-1 WON ($7.00)
