Two horses that I'm looking at playing at odds and including in the late 4 tomorrow are Clermont in the 8th and Osterville in the 9th. Am I crazy for even considering either of them?

Clermont's last over the TB strip wasn't all too bad, albeit slow. His last at Da Mountain was downright pathetic, but something tells me he went amiss in that race. Could be the fact that he gave way midway through or the layoff afterwards that drew me to that conclusion. He seemed to have a good amount of early footing before taking some time off. Should I give him one off the shelf and not play/include?

Not even sure what to think of Osterville in the 9th. The odds may be too high to pass up on a flier on that one, not sure what to make of his Meadowlands attempt. I am definitely playing Perfect Bull on the stretch out if the price is right and am including in the P4.

Your thoughts are greatly appreciated and it seems like when I construct a ticket and I don't include a horse that you guys have, I always give it another look. Keep up the good work fellas. I'm sure I speak for the board when saying thanks for all the work that you guys put into it.

Bigs would have a better feel on Clermont than I would. This horses last two works have been down on the Napier farm and Bigs will have more knowledge than myself about that. I do know one horse that doesn't appear very playable on paper, but is very dangerous in this race is Thunder Rising. Her numbers aren't reflecting it this year, but Artz is VERY DANGEROUS with this type....and Calder shippers have been running very well this meet, even the ones taking class hikes. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see this horse win tomorrow...or fill out the bottom of a very nice exacta.
