R10- 1,6,8 Hoist the Gold is a nibbler, has never been the distance, and Stewart isn't exactly lighting it up here. Thought enough of the horse to send him to the GI Malibu however, where he was a good third behind Taiba. Rail draw, not much speed on paper in this. Happy American and Mr. Wireless were one-two in the local prep for this one.
R11- 2,4,6 Two Emmys appears to be the controlling speed, likes the course (10/3-4-1.) Gentle Soul has been a different animal since going to the lawn for Calhoun, still improving and can make a big late run. Pixelate had an underwhelming 2022, but likes it here and the works are sneaky good. Interesting that Saez takes the call, probably the Kiaran>>Godolphin connection.
R12- 2,5 Wanted to single Hoosier Philly, which has been a progressive dynamo at CD, and that bodes well for an Oaks run. Doesn't have to win this, but Amoss is super high on her, and he had Serengeti Empress, so there's that. Pretty Mischievous is another Into Mischief x Tapit filly (see Hoosier Philly) for Godolphin, only blemish in four starts was a distant third behind the top one in The Golden Rod. Progressive runner won over the track on Boxing Day, maybe sit back and see what happens if the Pletcher runner messes with the favorite. Long stretch at the Fairgrounds.
R13- 4,9,10 Casse has always liked Determinedly since last summer, he said he was a horse for later, longer. Will be interesting to see what the strategy and tactics will be from Reylu. Curly Jack at 8-1? Bad m/l in my opinion. Has danced every dance, with a couple of duds but has finished well twice at CD, and he should try that today too. Two Phil's has also been progressive and was second over the track in the Lecomte last month. Has to work out a trip, but Rivelli likes to train them fast so he probably sends.
pick4: 1,6,8/2,4,6/2,5/4,9,10
Good luck if you play.
