Duke of Mischief is listed as 6-1 M/L, with DRF mentioning he finished a disappointing 5th in his last start. Keep in mind,however, that in an interview on HRTVm 2 minutes before post time, David Fawkes said that the Duke was short. And he raced like it, making a move at the top of the stretch and then fading. This is the race they have been pointing for, and the competition doesn\'t look that tough. Should be a fair price and and improved effort.
Good Luck to all TGer\'s in the tourney!
Yes, but.
Duke has had a handful of slow races in the past year...knowing Fawkes this doesn\'t inspire confidence. Turbo looked like a million bucks on the track in his last, but is too short and didn\'t beat much there anyway. Mucho will help make this race and may win it, but I think Ron the Greek is the fun horse to consider here. Fast enough on his best, training at Payson, which is a Florida advantage and ridden by a guy who does real well here.
