Groupie Doll is the probable lowest priced horse in a BC race but she is no lock for one reason, Rajiv Maragh. He is capable of great rides but also he can give you a ride that makes you rip your hair out of your skull. The consistency is not there yet that makes him a top echelon jock. I want Maragh to ride Groupie Doll like a champion, the best horse in race, like he did on Derby Day. I hated how he rode her last out at Keeneland. He saved ground and waited for hole to open and it happened that day. But in the BC, that may not happen. So I will not make her my top choice and will use a couple of logical choices over her in an exacta along with a couple of longshots that can come from off the pace in case the race is chaotic. I do not think a horse will wire the field this year in the race.
