I'm expecting a much better effort from Malibu Cougar in the 2nd. If you watch the head on of her last, she is forced to take up right as she is beginning to hit her best stride. Have to think she got a lot out of the debut.

I think there is a standout in there.

Before you tell me Im being silly because of the GOAT...
Take this info...
The 2 horses pressing her in the maiden race finished last and second to last. The day was huge AGAINST SPEED. This gal ran her EYEBALLS OUT. Im going through the charts of the day now, only 1 wire to wire winner. The early call leader finished 3rd twice... 2 races were total meltdowns even with slow paces.

I don't think I could take a stand on one horse in that race -- a few look interesting to me.

Of course she'll be tough, but at 8/5 or less, I'll try and beat her.

I might just single her and hope she gets home. 3-5 all look like spreads to me.

The 4th and 5th make it impossible for me to go near the pick 4. I'm a little interested in Johnny Two By Four in the 3rd, although that race is another head scratcher.

I thought the same.. He should win or at least make an excellent account of himelf.. I thought Nolansgrant kitten in the 4th had a horrendous (trip) in his debut as well. How about Barrel of Love? The rain hopefully adjusted some of the speed bias on the turf and he looks OK, Not for Love 3 year old could be on the improve with 2 turns and fair turf course.. I am not thrilled with taking the short price horses in the 4th.. I will use the Dos Hombres as well he has a bit of a look..
