for whatever it's worth, here are my best ideas for this weekend

I am headed down to Churchill tomorrow and I wont\' have a chance to check the board much after I get there and I HATE redboarding so here are my best thoughts for this weekend just in case I get lucky.

The 2 best plays on the card in my view based on the ML odds are:

1) AU Miner in the Marathon - fast, good pattern and gets Calvin which will be huge in this race

2) Grand Adventure in the Turf Sprint- I can\'t believe they will let him get off at those ML odds but if they do, I might go home broke

Other races I like:

Juv Fillies - Theysken\'s Theory/Awesome Feather/Joyful Victory

F&M Turf - Plumania over Midday given the great draw for Plumania and the fact she only lost by 3/4 of a length 2 back to Midday at equal weights

Juv Turf - Mantoba (Detori picks this one over Utley)/ Master of Hounds/Utley

Juv - Biondetti/Rouge Romance/Jaycito - I think raceshapes is critical in this race and I think all of the favorites going first time around two turns are going to really hurt one another near the lead setting up for horses off the pace who may not be as fast as some of the others

Mile - Goldikova/Gio Point/Usual QT

Dirt Mile - Tizway/Here Comes Ben/Vineyard Haven

Turf - Take your pick among the 4 Euros in any order you want them.  If I had to take an American horse is would be Winchester but I think the Euros have provied their dominance this year over the Americans in this category

Classic - Blame - I ulitmately chose Blame because I agree with what others have posted about the rail draw hurting QR\'s chances.

I have no strong opinions at all on the F&M sprint/Sprint/Ladies Classic.
