Slim pickings this weekend IMO as we get closer to Saratoga.
Not sure who would bother with this one at 9:45 EDT on a Saturday night but the Dallas Stewart colt looks to be an interesting read. At the weights, drawn inside, coming out of a troubled trip in the Woody Stephens, and stretching back out, he may be sitting on a good one.
Looking for the breakout number tomorrow which puts him in the exacta/tri mix at double digit odds. Key with Dark Vader, Title Ready, and KZ.
Good Luck,
Joe B.
Liked KZ for a while now. Ran very nice fig last out over some experienced horses. Romans talking him up a ton. Hard to see past . . . .
Trigger Warning has not gone backwards since adding lasix. Pressed a good pace vs. what were two good ones IMO in the MTB derby w/o lasix. Came back against older on the Sunland undercard. Slowly improving last three. Pair puts him in the exacta/tri on short rest.
Dark Vader may be ready for new top after last two. Another who exited what may be a key Sunland Derby. Had trouble turning for home in that one as well, two tries since have been good. Probably won\'t get the morning line.
Using Funny Duck as a spoiler as well.
Trying to beat the Romans horse solely based on a spotty record at the venue. The way this year has gone, KZ wins by a mile.
