First NYRA P5 C/O could generate pool approaching $1,000,000 and despite reasonable field size sequence of 7x6x6x10x7, looks VERY slippery. First leg invites heavy reliance on Wild Image SCR’D, but how confident should you be in 5yo mare with very little speed? Adds blinkers and comes back 2nd/layoff with work in between..

$134k DBL C/O starts here..
Very difficult sequence for two day P6 pot with 9x8x9x10x8x11 hill to climb before SCR’s. There are a few more likely types sprinkled in the sextet, but no glaring singles making things hard for narrow plays. First leg a perfect example with lightly raced Nobody Move, I’m Funny How and Zoo Yorker quite OK among a cast of suspects, but there doesn’t seem to be any instant tosses out of the other 7 including Hushion firster Information Center and MSW/MCLM class dropping/surface swapping Courageous Colonel and Domus. Even 0/11 Guyana Cat looks possible given last 2 were best yet. Pace …

Been waiting 11 weeks for a race in NY for Lucky and when it’s carded, it of course has to come up speed-loaded. She was almost rating in her 9/4 start at SAR and if she can relax stalking outside and finish, she could gain a share. This is a nice group for $40k and any of the 10 can fill out the super..
