Going to come back with Lottie today at the weights and inside post.

Had her in the Waya and IMO fell victim to another Rosario butcher job. Filly ended up on wrong lead in the lane and still kept coming, finishing up with a strong gallop out.

Buyer beware as another Rosario butcher job is more than possible. I\'m thinking the value will be there with War Flag, Sardania, and Harmonize all being way over bet.


Good Luck,

First of all, it makes me smile that Lottie\'s 1:01+3 5F w/o on 8/24 @ Fair Hills earned her a bullet. That fact says many things some even about the mare. I also liked her last out and again today.

In the last race, it could be argued the crowd favorites Suffused and Apple Betty went too fast up front consequently had nada late. Now I have some concern and respect for Summersault off that race.

IMO, Rosario was not the only suspect rider last meeting. Now we still have to best St. Javier who returns on Estrechada and new additions War Front with a rider who could move her up. Even the Beverly D refugee Sarandia has been a regular winner.

Consequently, the morning line of 6/1 does not seem to be an overlay on a horse that perpetually runs 2nd or 3rd. I\'m considering a double or a pick 3 as a saver in case of a win. But I\'ll have her under all of the contenders I\'ve mentioned above.

Lastly, call me superstitious yet Lottie was just able to catch Grateful a couple back. At first glance I went right by Grateful, a 3 y/o by Shacleford which doesn\'t quicken my pulse in a long turf race. Then I watched this girl run. She lopes along like a marathoner yet is stout in appearance not at all like classic turf horses. TAP @ 15/1 c/b a play here as she could take some catching.

Still a puzzle to me at this point yet Lottie seems to be a key piece.

Good Luck
