Arturo Toscanini- GP R5

[tenfurlongs]

#4- Arturo Toscanini (8-1) started his career with Aidan O'Brien in Ireland, winning in career debut as a 2yo, then was GIII-placed at the Curragh before running pretty well behind Kemari in the Queen's Vase (GII) at Royal Ascot. Last seen in June finishing 12 lengths behind Hurricane Lane in the Irish Derby, but no one save Lone Eagle was in his area code that day. DJ Stable purchased him privately in the interim and turned him over to Mark Casse. FTL today, nice string of works since Oct at the farm and then PMM. Would probably like some cut in the ground, and ideally more distance, but he just looks superior to this field. Chad's possible-favorite has had six tries at N1X, not afraid of that one. #9- Sigrun Fast Boy (9-2) jumped up as soon as he got away from the dirt, seems lightly-raced and progressive. Personally, would like to see a big race from #10- Louder Than Bombs (8-1) on which I dropped a claim slip in Bev's contest. Also wouldn't overlook #11- Ginsburned (20-1) despite wide draw, Lanerie in the irons. Rusty Arnold got him to run third in the Bruce D (GI) at ARL in his third start.

EX- 4/6,9,10,11

When did it rain at GP? Fast & firm about two hours ago, radar looked clean. Oh well, time to quit and start looking at Meydan for Friday, nice card.

It went sloppy with rain just a couple of minutes before first post. They're loading as the announcer is calling all the turf races off to the tapeta.

I thought about claiming the fawkes runner in the contest also. Was afraid that some no name did would claim at that price.
