Title: 9th CD Sat
Post by: Mstrlucky74 on May 22, 2020, 07:41:43 PM
Would like to get others opinion on Alwaysmining at 20-1. Think he looks great at anything over 10-1.

I believe very playable. 3-3 @ the distance.
Lots of horses going from 2 turns to 1 turn, looks like there will be pace.
Horse I’m looking at is Extraordinary Jerry
Took a huge step forward last out is the fastest TG horse then went to the bench.
Bounce and the trainer change is a concern
Is a closer and the race may set up for him.
Hopefully the weather plays nice

Great pattern, to me could improve a point or two after the multiple pairing of tops. Brief freshening, and race seems to set up for a closer, with at least a few speedy types in here.

Seems like a pretty popular choice hopefully the 10-1 holds

This could be a very good race for taking a shot at a price, as I doubt Cox has the M/L favorite cranked up for this one.

While the TG pattern looks very good on Alwaysmining, my concern is that he has never run his \"A\" number outside of Laurel.

Extrordinary Jerry is clearly the fastest horse on TG, but I noted that he ran his best number with a perfect set-up when he closed off a suicidal pace at GP last year.

While they are both certainly playable at a price, I think there is also another long shot in the race that is worth a look:

Snapper Sinclair (15/1) - He was hung out 3 wide chasing a duel in a fast pace last time out at Oaklawn. He could appreciate the turn back to a flat mile and his TG# 3 back could see him get a large piece of this race.

Also, I think that Ny Traffic could be overlooked in the Matt Winn Stakes. A pair or better of his last TG# would make him very tough.

Good Luck

Squeezed at start but I don\'t think that caused the poor performance.

I agree
Bridgmohan, Ride on DOMINGA was terrible that horse was loaded.
