By the 5th race you could say the inside was fine and the main track was sticky, favoring closers...this held up thru the Classic...the turf figured to be holding.
5th: prefer smaller forward moves to wild reactions...the Euro Shumoos jumped up giant on lasix.
6th: DRF clockers Hersh and Welsch were helpful...their public selections compared favorably(check no. of place finishes by 1st two selections on both days)... Stopshoppingmaria in a test drill on turf ran favorably with Sweet Cat...the Kitten had more foundation to her pattern with a pair of route 6\'s...lasix moved up UP, no lasix a factor with Kate and Lavinia.
7th: Older sprints often go to seasoned, professional campaigners...experts at the condition...Musical Romance ideally prepped on synthetic...Switch similar to winner...babied, one number types often found wanting.
8th: Grace Hall similar pattern to Stopshopping, a sprint top followed by a competitive route fig on the bounce...no back-up with My Miss Aurelia...forward sprint to route pair...Putthebabiesdown had a terrible drill.
9th: Jerry warned us on Stacelita...she entered with an equipment change...Nahrain, a forward moving Euro 3YO, had good shot at a four point jump with lasix...same for Misty...JB reminds that turf tops easier to pair than dirt efforts...check out the wild horse stretch run by Aruna.
10th: Mott\'s plan to acclimate early paid off...Plum Pretty came of a stressful dirt top, Ultra Blend to a lesser degree, but both had to ship.
