Does anyone know what the Race of the Week will be?
It should have been the Diana if anyone can figure this one out go for it, unless your default button goes directly to all 4 Chad Brown horses in a turf stake!!!
That aside the rest of the pick 4 is easy !!!!
8th 5,1,7 pressing Gio\'s Calling
9th Single My Man Sam
11th 1,2,3,4,10
Good luck,
Frank D.
I\'m going to try to do a Sunday race.
Thanks

Frank,
I hope your day has started out better than yesterday. We are hosting a Bbq for my wife\'s daughter\'s birthday, so not much time for racing today.
I agree with your single and spread last race.
Race 8 the #9 Hockey School has a shot, and as for the Diana I\'ll use 2,7,8,10.
One day I\'ll make it out that way. All of you guys make me envious with your stories of the Spa. Sounds like a great time regardless of your luck at the windows.

Couldn\'t you have held on for the exacta? Ugh.
So glad I took a break to witness that.
I had the runner up, not sure why Alvarado needed five minutes to straighten the thing out in the lane...wish he hadn\'t gotten up for the place. Not sure if you heard pre-race but Mig thought Hockey School looked great, fwiw. Way this day is going I wish one of MY kids had a b-day today, instead my wife took them all out so I could get a couple hours alone to drink beers, watch my Yankees, and make bets...oh well at least the kitchen is closed Chef Papa is ordering out tonight! Will try to beat MMS here in the 9th w/a sophomoric lone speed play in Caderyn (don\'t shoot me), will throw some darts in the Diana...Best of luck to all...
What gets my attention in the ROTW, is the writeup makes no mention of CARINA MIA\'s slow races being the two she ran at 1+1/16. Her fast races have been at 1m or shorter.
Since the two fillies are carrying the same weight, technically Songbird has run a couple of races slightly faster at the 1+1/16 distance and a couple slower.
Also noteworthy is that Carina Mia has lost ground on the first turn repeatedly. Songbird doesn\'t lose ground and from the one post Sunday could keep that streak intact.
CCoA will be @ the new and longer distance of 1+1/8. So where do we expect Carina Mia to go past Songbird on the second turn? Probably not smartest so Early also seems unlikely which leaves late in the final stretch. A portion of the race which one could argue looks to be her vulnerabilty.
Using TG Sire data >1m Medaglia D\'Oro (Songbird\'s Sire) 112 can be given the nod over Malibu Moon 123.
As the analysis points out the third horse in the race has a m/l of 12/1 and a 3 y/o line that makes her look like an iron horse. And on her best she even looks like she could contend for more than just the bottom of the exacta.
But wait, remember American Pharoah and Nyquist won a lot of races before being awarded a small TG #. Their secret a high cruising speed, a pace that cooks any competitors who try and stay close. Songbird as we have seen has done the same. Consequently my view is that Weep No More is the horse most likely to be unaffected by Songbirds early pace superiority and my choice to fill out the exacta and/or trifecta.
