R8 – Spartiatis 8/1. Won the G3 Tom Fool last year then tried the G1 Carter and wan up the track. Ran poorly in the 3 following (2 more were stakes) that and was sent to the farm for 6 months. His first back this yard was a good looking OC62 when you tracked the leaders 4 back then kicked it in the last half furlong abd just missed the winner by a head. The next two was dejah vue running up the track in the Tom Fool and the Carter followed by a poor effort in another OC62. Today we see the oldest handicapping angle I can recall going back at least 60 years. - “drop down in class (&32000 Clm) and adding a top jockey (Jr Alvarado)” Willing to gamble??
R8 – Stillwater Cove 8/1. First career race was a 4-1/2 on the dirt which she won coast to coast but after leading by 5 lengths she barely hung on to win by nose. He next was a 6F turf in the rarified air at Ascot where she finished 13th of 19 in the race. There are no American style Pps for this race but the British comments for the race tell it all -”led at blistering pce “. This one's going to be a big gamble because she's the kind that goes postal as soon as the bell rings. There's plenty of speed in here but if Irad can find a way slow her down our of the gate she might just be able to out run them all. I would not suggest spending much on this one, or not betting on it at all, because with all the speed and her likely to be the one leading the pack, the logical winner would be a stayer .
R10 – Wicked Trick 8/1 Still trying to break his maiden but might do it today. His first 8 career efforts were against MSWs and seems to belong there with a record of 8/0-2-2. They dropped him into a $75K Clm where we led almost wire to wire but got caught and finished 2nd by a length. Same class and about the same distance – 8/1 looks like more than fair odds.
