Kentucky Cup Classic

[Michael D.]

Hard Spun - ran a \'1.5\' over the surface in the spring, then stepped it up in the Derby. went backwards off the grueling effort, but recovered in the Haskell and paired up last. looks ready to run big with the nice timing here. very dangerous on the lead but the odds will be low.

Cat Shaker - too slow

Street Sense - ran a \'2.25\' on poly in the spring, then went on a tear when returning to dirt. clearly a prep for the BC, and is facing two horses with faster poly figures. still the most likely winner on pure talent alone, but offers little value.

Stream Cat - ran a \'0\' over the Kee poly in April, then backed up a bit on short rest. last two a bit slow for these going longer on turf, but expecting better with the return to poly. appears ready to run his top effort.

Muqbil - scratched


Stream Cat the pick to upset at decent odds.
