We are running a filly in the G1 Humana Distaff. She finished 2nd last year in the 8 Belles on Derby weekend. Been pointing to this for months, got a chance to pull it off. Hooper

Good luck, Hoop! Marley is a tough one--the one to beat?
p.s. Overbet of the day is likely to be Instagrand in the Pat Day Mile. Will look to beat him.

Hooper, I'm thinking Awestruck in the second tomorrow looks pretty darn good off that third in last

1 – Firewalker Jake has the best turf figs in the field, bounced on short rest last time, and gets less than ideal time off into this, but was a little sharper in the work last week than leading up to the previous race. Good shot he returns to form here, and 5-1 is more than fair value. Off Sixes, isn’t bred to move up on turf, but he wouldn’t have too. His dirt numbers are far the best on tgraph, and the siblings have all run on both dirt and turf pretty well. Solid shot he can run those number on turf at a big price. 2- Magical got a big trainer upgrade over the winter vacation. Working on the quick side for Assmussen for the return race. Thinking she may be better next out but her 90% may handle these today. 3- Shacklette has been heavily raced, but went on a little winning streak when she got a little better race spacing, her last was a little top, but previously she’s been a little better sprinting. Thinking she carries the improvement back this sprint distance and is very competitive with these. Ideal spacing and two huge works for a previously slow worker. Play of the day. 4- Value Engineering the clear choice if he gets in. Valdolobo – has solid figs in Europe and working well, and should benefit from having some US speed horses to settle in behind. 5- Tough race, many of these could win or run poorly. Lyrical Lady ran a big one last time get 6 weeks to recover for her 2nd off the bench for Assumussen seems most likely to fire and is a fair 8-1. Also covering Bell’s the One who was overmatched in the Ashland, but has continued to fire quick works in the morning. Could run a couple point new top in her return to 1 turn racing and may also be the one to benefit from what looks like a potential meltdown pace. 6- Newspaperofrecord is possibly the most likely winner of the meet here. Single and move on. Curious how much money the show pool takes. 7- McKinzie looks most likely, Tom’s D’etat has run a few that would give him a run if he’s not on his A game. Bad betting race… 8- Teresa Z – has a bunch working in her favor here at 15-1. Last race was a sprint prep, and was a few points better than any previous sprint she’s run. Her route top (in her last race last year) is the same as Secret Spices top when adjusted for the 5 lb break Teresa Z gets today. Firing bullets in the AM and draws the interest of Johnny V. 9- Strolling was impressive last out on short rest and gets a little more time into this. Quick work on 4/27, looks ready to fire again. 10- World of Trouble & Bound for Nowhere – no value… 11 - Can’t find many faults with Bellafina, most likely she wins. Liora is the value of the race though at 20-1. Gets a bit more time off than the favorites, which is hugely important for fillies IMO. Working bullets now with the blinkers on and her previous tgraph figs are as good as anyone outside of the favorite. 12- meh race – cloud charmer ran big last time and will be a price, probably bounces, but 12-1 is good enough to play that she doesn’t. 13- Crazy Sexy Munny – first timer working sharp for O’niel, who isn’t real high % with firsters, but sends out some that run their eyeballs out first time. Had his pick of the barn to send for the derby inflated 100k MSW and chose this one.

Hooper, I'm thinking Awestruck in the second tomorrow looks pretty darn good off that third in last Awestruck's top on TG was faster than any horse in the race, but through 2 starts this year she hasn't gotten close to that number, yet. 3rd off layoff, oh, and those tops both were earned at CD. The Brown horse will take money and give you a square price on Awestruck, I'd think. ELK, myself, I'm not seeing the Alysheba as McKinzie's to lose and I wonder if Baffert has prioritized this one.

Now you know why she ran so poorly in The Humana Distaff. Similar to Omaha Beach. Hooper
Dr. Gary Priest scoped the 3-year-old Violence filly at 3 p. m. the day after the race and discovered that the filly entraps her epiglottis on an intermittent basis. To correct this situation, Dr. Priest and his son Dr. David Priest operated on the filly yesterday and split the epiglottis so that it does not continue to occur.
