PENN NATIONAL RACE COURSE


POST-SCRATCHES


4th: New Start-PA, 3yo-F, 6f (P4, P3, DD)

Next Best: #2 Gotta Be Strong 9-2 WON ($6.20)
Exotics Use: #4 Cardi B 8-1 6th


5th: Danzig-PA, 3yo, 6f (P3, DD)

Call Paul obviously the horse to beat returning to PA-bred company, but despite the 3/1-1-1 record in '19, he really hasn't advanced much as a 3yo. With lots of pace lined up to his inside, Franco will want to stalk from the outside, but cant get hung too wide in the process. The top pick, but an underlay and seemingly vulnerable with several others very close to his talent level. Note too the intriguing presence of hot-working Sheppard firster What a Laugh, half to stakes-winning Rose Tree..

THX Larry.. That was an unusual ticket for me utilizing the alls, but it seemed like the approach that was necessary to snare any type of quality return. Imagine some took option to single Dynatail, Pure Sensation & Regal Glory, which dropped .50 play to $21, but I thought Enchanted Ghost & Completed Pass were worth covering (and Pass probably should have won that sprint)..

Hope you and everyone did well. Going to be a terrific Belmont Week.
