Anyone have a chance to look these over? Part of the P6 C/O of course, but as stand alones, two interesting groups... Thoughts?

The horse I'm interested in (7th) is Malibu Knight. Now I have NO idea how good he is, and you could certainly make the case he beat nothing in his debut, but he did it in a pretty amazing way, breaking dead last from the rail in the 5.5 F turf sprint, and closing from last at the top of the stretch to win convincingly. You just don't see that very often, especially from a first time starter. The odds should be worth the risk today.

golfer of the horses with odds the 11 has some upside no telling if he will jump up in beyer off last..i cant back the 7 but he could get a trip with elvis.

I'm with you. He came home in :11.18 that day and you would think he should appreciate the added ground.

I posted about this horse intially after watching the race . He won on talent alone and I really dont think they tired all that hard with him. He looks very MOTO since I rarely uncover anything to clever.

Still very difficult to draw a conclusion on Malibu Knight after this race. Whether or not you want to blame Elvis, couldn't have had a worse trip, checked early in the first turn when the 12 came in on him, probably ended up 8 or 9 wide by the time they came out of the turn. Maybe he was green, maybe overmatched, or maybe he just stinks. I don't know yet.
