I noticed you put up TD Vance in your analysis on Sunday - well done. Could you give some insight into the reasoning behind that pick.
Actually, Monday\'s. Thanks.
The \"trick\" in the race was taking a position against High Limit. I was suspicious of the surface change in this case (note Reel Legend from the same race in a similar situation.) High Limit\'s OP and inability to return to his top off the short layoff enabled me to take a stand against him. Besides, breeding suggested dirt was his preferred surface; hence, the use of him on dirt.
T. D. Vance, as noted in the analysis, had been shipping well. The small forward move in his last pointed to further improvement this time out. The co-pick, Silver Whistle, had a forging line. I played him to do no worse than his last and probably improve. At the odds, T. D. Vance was this pick over Silver Whistle.
The rest of the field, with the exception of Crown Point (which showed a similar line to T. D. Vance\'s) was either to slow or had races indicating they were off form.
thanks Nick
