Saturday Finale @ the SPA

#4 Introduced ML 10-1

She has won 2 in a row on the grass & ships in from Maryland.

Trainer Jorge Duarte Jr, a former jockey, has recovered from covid & is winning @ 26%. Colts Neck Stables is a small barn winning @25%

We have a big jock upgrade to Manny Franco. 

She likes the 5.5F distance on the grass & I like her closing style.

I think we'll get better than 10-1.

Sure looks better then the fav#7, based strictly on starts and winnings.

Do you think Code of Honor can run back to his Travers last year?

1 1/8 could help his chances?

10/1 looks juicy.   GL Midnight   

vet--I would think he can't be too far off the pace because Tom's d'Etat is a beast.

I would think the added distance can only help.

BOL...

GP R4 #5 Imperial King

Ex/DD wheel;  WP

Love to see trainer Hamm stretching this one out & the dirt to turf move.

Good Luck MN1

mstr...

I saw something odd last night when I took a brief look at Ellis Park.

I don't know if Florent Geroux was in quarantine & has just returned to racing. 

Anyway he has his one mount in the 5th for my nemesis Assman. I was going to make a play until 5 horses scratched in the race. 

It's pouring @ GP right now & the 11th is off the turf.

Assman   came here at Woody and took the My Dear  stakes  a couple race ago 

Mids.......I had read sometime ago that he was investigated for cruelty or something along those lines.

You heard about that.....or am I thinking of someone else

Not sure mstr...

But I've seen Waco Paco beat the shit out of a favorite that was losing badly but he never got days for it.

After watching so many races, you know it when you see it.

The Geroux horse ended up scratching making it a 4 horse race. 

R6 Manny Franco right back with #8 Vintage Hollywood.

WP; DD 8 with 4-6-7 

How is a colt 1 for 18 a 2-1 chalk in the 6th at the SPA?

Oh, he ran 2nd in the Preakness to War of Will!

I'm in trouble with the 8...

R7 box 2-4-6-7
