Title: Turf Sprint and more
Post by: Michael D. on November 05, 2011, 12:22:15 PM
Turf sprint - Regally Ready has Corey and strong # power going 5f at CD. Looks tough. Grand Adventure's '2' going 7f on turf three back keeps jumping out at me. And it was a very tough trip. Figure in the WO Mile was the same as last year, and the trip last wasn't great either. GA doesn't look like the same horse as last year, but post 1 with Javier is huge, and it might make sense to play for a return to the '1.5' (last year's sprint) at  25 to 1, which puts him close with a 1w trip. Use RR and GA.

Dirt mile - Trappe Shot has strong # power, and race shapes says he should be in a good spot. Tapizar is a talented colt from the Pyro family. Gets Corey and should get a good inside trip. Irrefutable has the competitive negative 1.5 over the track, and is bred to get at least 1m. Has not been running like he wants more than 6f, but Baffert didn't enter for the good seats. Use TS, Tap, and Irrefut.

Turf - Sea Moon looks like a very nice 12f colt, and could improve quite a bit on the 2.75 with first lasix. Was originally against Brilliant Speed, but the more I look, the more it looks like he just wants to keep going,. Could be tough stretching back to 12f. Use SM and BS.

Juvy - use the fav on # power. I will also use Crusade. Broodmare sire won the race, and there's a good amount of stamina below that. Great jock, great post. Use Union Rags and Crusade.

Mile - use Goldi on # power. I will also use Mr Commons, who could be a super miler. Exploded with an :11 final 1/8 two back, and gave the underrated Jeranimo a good run last. Thee year old has every right to move forward here. Gets a bit of weight and draws well. And Courageous Cat fits with a nice inside trip. Use Goldi, MC, and CC.
