Final Copy and First Premio will scratch. This is not a good betting Card. At least late in the day. Divisidoro could still be 3rd choice sooooo some potential for some odds. Not sure Amoss or Casse get beat next in next two. Even though Amos filly did back up last year after the Big # at Ellis.
Will play Bandua at that price. Yes, the jump up, but that fig, and the point and a half of weight makes him a definite play at 12-1.
With the scratches doubt he is 12-1. Unless they go nuts in Chad. Which is highly probable
I read on DRF that Bandua is likely to go in the dirt race.
No mention of Silver Dust @ all in ROTW. Not long ago, I forgot whom was entered in a race, made ZERO sense & wrong surface, ended up walking away with a victory. Anyone recall who? Seems almost the same here.
Silver Dust is running in the 10th on dirt unless the 11th comes off the grass.
Yoshida?
Sheets say Hot Springs in the money. Bricks and Mortar most likely winner. Divisidero is solid but I\'m not as strong on as TG.
The jockey on Divisidero looked like he was riding to instructions and the instructions were something less than brilliant.
Fractions of :51 1:15+ begs the question is it against the rules for jockeys to wear a wrist watch with stop watch features?
All in all no wonder none of the closers gained any ground. Yea, I realize the track was slow but the near winning place horse, always runs TG 5\'s so every one else earns a tomato can badge.
Congrats to the exacta winners.
Not that it made any difference in this case, but sheets don\'t \"say\" anything, whether they\'re ours or Jake\'s. If you want to talk about this stuff pre-race do so in terms of numbers or patterns, otherwise it\'s just one player\'s read. There\'s seldom uniform consensus, here or over there.
(What I mean is, X horse is faster or slower, or coming off a top when we don\'t, etc.).
JB agreed! I must say B&M looked the best/fastest (IMHO) on yours as well.
