If you bet the race, you got your money, and your money's worth. Wow, quite a comeback race for Drain The Clock: Not sure what happened to Barossa in the BC Juvenile, but he gets another chance. The Los Alamitos Futurity might have a future KYD Trail horse or two in there: Their jockeys have a single digit winning percentage (what? that's the best they could find? Is there a 3000 jockey colony or what?). Super Stock (from the KYD trail) and Flash of Mischief should be good for an Exacta Box. Prospector at Gulfstream Park:Īfter winning his last race, Dennis has given his owners some hope that he might win back some of his purchase price before he reaches social security age, but we'll see.Īt Oaklawn Park, the Poinsettia is being run and has some somewhat familiar names, but a competitive race with non-competitive jockeys: This weekend's slim pickings for GREAT stakes action does have a few familiar faces:ĭennis' Moment reappears in the Mr. Perhaps I should start next year's thread with this: Here is a list of KYD odds for next year. That is leisurely for a horse of his immense talent. easy (easily for the grammar police).īTW, Medina Spirit ran a 1:01 2/5 for the final 5f workout of his young life. But if Drain The Clock is in shape, he wins. Other horses are in shape, and have speed figures on the track. Perhaps Saratoga didn't agree with him (he wouldn't be the first horse).īut now he's been freshened since August and he's back to face a tough field for a $62.5k Optional Claimer (he's not in for a tag). This has been a great, young sprinter! Then he took on the best older sprinters in training, including Jackie's Warrior, and finished 2nd and 4th no shame in that for a horse who had a long campaign. This top sprinter's only (real) blemish through mid-year of his 3YO campaign (he is still a 3YO) was a 2nd place finish in the Fountain of Youth Stakes at 1 1/16 miles, which was perhaps too far for him. In the Startlet, Eda put in a gritty stretch run to win over Cairo Memories and Tonito's:Īlso at Aqueduct, in the Go For Wand, Lady Rocket had the Beyer of the day at 106.Ī familiar name popped up on the race docket Drain The Clock is in one of those 'cheap' optional claimers at Gulfstream Park on Friday.

This was IH's last start before going off to stud. Independence Hall clipped heels with another horse. In the Cigar Mile, Americanrevolution stalked the pace and ran a spirited stretch to run down Following Sea and earn a 104 Beyer: These two pulled way ahead of the rest of the pack in the stretch. Was it a fluke, or is she just flawed?įlawed or not, Cairo Memories, who finished 9th in the BC Juvenile, but only 2 lengths back, may be the best horse in the race anyway.ĭevilHorseIn the Remsen, Mo Donegal won a heated stretch run over slightly favored Zandon and was awarded an 89 Beyer figure.

Grace Adler, a $700k wonderhorse trained by Baffert, who failed miserably last time out, tries again. The weather will let this be a fast track, so I'll go with Independence Hall over American Revolution or Ginobli.Īt Los Alamitos, the Starlet for 2YO fillies is being run:
#Irad ortiz suspension full
Independence Hall is the class of the race, but horses like American Revolution or Ginobli have not shown their full class yet. Speed types and closers younger/older sprinters/distance all trying to go a mile.
#Irad ortiz suspension code
While Independence Hall and Code of Honor have the back class, American Revolution and Following Sea are young developing horses that were not fatigued by the Triple Crown trail. The Cigar Mile looks to be the pick race of the weekend:Īmerican Revolution, Independence Hall, Following Sea, Code Of Honor, and Ginobli each have a shot at top honors. Who Hoo Thats Me has highest figure, but it is on an off track in a state restricted event. The best it would appear has some issues. Believe it, there isn't much it would appear but who knows. Frankly, in a race that once gave you Alydar vs.
