Looks like a great betting race

Lawyer Ron- a play against today, the hi weight with more speed to deal with, the big # two back set him back slightly last out, to many races and too much development, not today.

Private Vow - some more speed off a 90+ day layoff, trainer goes 69% off/x off 90+, hard to feel excited about 1st back.

Steppenwolfer- ran big last out, outside trip and post will hurt here, pair up will probably get a share, use as backup to my key

Well Said- my key, couple points slower than a few in here, however, the last pair leads me to believe that he is the most likely horse to move foward a 2pt move at the weights put him right there, should have good tracking position and was compromised last year by bad posts and troubled races, seems to have straigtened out, mows them down the lane. Good Luck

Rich,

Well Said is one well bred animal. Dam is a full to Nannerl. If I remember correctly, Nannerl used to run well in the slop (no surprise with the Valid Appeal blood). 80% chance of rain in Hot Springs tomorrow.

Music School might wind up being the best. I can\'t find any excuse for the poor effort last out though. Might not peak until later in the year (or as a four year old).

After a quick look at the #\'s, I\'m not sure I can beat the big three ....

I\'ll post after I see how the track looks.

Good Luck.
