This is the sixth different race track
in seven races for Private Creed. Has ability.
No odds yet... but he's a shot with a shot.

Victory formation has posted some nice works since his Smarty Jones score. Would be a little concerned that his Bris speed fig went down in his first route try but maybe that's an anamoly (sp?)

I’m going with Crupi . The connections wouldn’t have given him this name if they didn’t think very highly of him as a youngster . Intrigued that Luis Saez is riding Angel of Empire considering he was on Determinedly for his last four races . Also the fact that Johnny V is making the trip to Fairgrounds to ride Harlocap for his “new” trainer is appealing.

In the 8th race, an OC 80,0001x on the undercard, I am interested in watching First Defender for Asmussen. Out of Quality Road and an AP Indy Mare. Couldn't have looked better in his maiden breaker, stretches out to 1 1/16 in his second start. Johnny V aboard, 3-1 ML, second choice to Banishing.

I'm snakebit at Fairgrounds so only playing on paper.
Nevertheless, can't resist.
Bomb Longshot: Single Ruler Really like this pedigree.
Non-longshot picks:
Curly Jack
Determinedly
Tapit's Conquest
Harlocap
If anyone scratches I would add Two Phil's but was unable to separate him and Curly Jack out. Maybe whoever has the better odds is way to go.
If anyone is interested, the *never lasix* horses are 9,10 and 13.
If you remember last year, the SUPERFECTA for the KY derby were all never-lasix horses.
The winner of the Belmont stakes was also a never-lasix horse. NEVER, meaning in no races whatesoever.
That said, this isn't the derby or belmont and actually, some horses I like for those races I am not picking for the Risen Star, but saving for *later*.
(dunno why more people don't talk about what I just said......like why do they even need it? Cox and Pletcher uusually play the lasix then no lasics for stakes races though so hard to keep up with that but I keep track).

I definitely look at the "lasix off" angle.

Re the above- just saw the DRF for the race and it had VF posting a career best speed fig in the Smarty Jones, so a discrepancy between Bris and DRF. |

5 Harlocap 8/1,ships in for BB who turns the reins over to Asmussen.Intent noted,don't want to pass up the points.JR tags along and if let alone on the front end could be dangerous.
7 Sun Thunder 15/1,McPeek charge gets goto BJ Hernandez.Both bringing wins in the 20s%.Ran into BB buzzsaw on a sloppy/sealed in last.Sports bullet breeze 2/12 5f FG 1:00.1 (1/42)
Good longshot play.

Could Harlocap and Victory Formation duel on the front end and set it up for Angel of Empire or even Todd's maiden?

Thanks folks. Somedays it pays to be patient. I spent a lot of time handicapping so persevered in playing to the end even though I had not cashed a thing till the last. My hopes were briefly up before being dashed in the 10th when Mr. Wireless just couldn't go on by Pioneer of Medina, who I did not play at all. Caught the win, exacta, and tri in the Risen Star. Thanks to you who touted Sun Thunder, as It led me to give him a hard look and include on my ticket.
