Loves Arlington Park. Has had a couple of runs for conditioning. However he seems to have become totally devoid off early speed his last 2 years and taking on the look of a plodder. Not a great field so today may be now or never for him at 7. Even having lost a step he might be one step faster than this bunch.
Bullard Alley coming off a facile win at the distance, is rested and will have good tactical position. At 5 or 6-1 you will get a solid run for your money with an a potentially improving 4YO!!
Somehow The Pizza Man GETS 4 pounds from Bullard Alley in a 1.5 mile race.
Yes I saw that and we are trained to add or subtract one point on the #\'s. However I\'m looking at it from the standpoint of tactical position, recent form and if The Pizza Man needs to make his usual 4w,5w,6w sweep the 4 lbs could be moot.
Silver:
Barring an injury, the Illinois bred wins today at very low odds. I\'ll be staying out of this one.
John Dooley\'s call:
In the final furlong, The Pizza Man is pulling away! The Pizza Man with a Supreeeemmme performance this afternoon!!
