steady rain falling here, gang...expect sloppy track.  The rail has not been kind to horses on the rail, and I am looking at Storm force and Irish Dreamer for top honors/possibly box exacta should odds be OK.

Irish Dreamer does not have to face Officer Rocket here, and when he hasn\'t faced that horse, he\'s been in trouble last three.  These owners enter to win races - often!  Storm force basically met his prev top, then blew through it 2nd back (although form says he drifted late - not good), still Lukas and JAcinto are on fire here and Wayne has the swagger facing less these days.  Dpon\'t know much about 5 Star as a sire, but 22% win on off tracks makes me shrug my shoulders...maybe a 3 horse box?

The teletimer shows that a 15k claimer ran the last quarter of that mile in 22.97 and only won by 3 1/2 lengths(unimaginable)

Did the TG track guy get it different? Thanks.

The final time is a misprint. It should be 1:38:57 not 1:36:57 so the last quarter 24.97 not 22.97.

Rail looks good....pass the Kool Aid, Hitman to win and place.

Storm Force bothered Hitman around the turn.
