1-Maple Forest: Powerful looking sort; I would think she\'s got some more forward moves in her too, but this is a very tough spot; possible, but I like others more.

2-Jealous Girl: Well-balanced sort & moves well; will be interesting to see how she handles serious pace pressure; look, she\'s hard to knock on sheets, heck, there\'s never even been a horse close to her in the stretch in her wins, but I may look elsewhere for more value. She\'ll have to show me she can do it at the Spa.

3-AZ Warrior: Tough call. Not sure what to do with her. I never thought she was a sprinter, but hard to question Baffert\'s moves these days???

4-Offlee Wicked: Seems in deep.

5-Funny Sunny: Good prep race for this, good pattern on sheets. Lots to like.  Wouldn\'t have minded seeing a workout for the last 25 days though? Big class test too. Hess/Desourmeaux tend to give me fits as far as trying to make the right call with their charges, so maybe you want to hammer her as I probably won\'t bite!

6-Hot Summer: Seems in deep, but I have no strong opinion on her either way.

7-Precious Soul: I think she has to step it up here. Not for me.

8-Valiant Passion: How did they buy her for only 11K? I loved her prep race and how she\'s grown up for whatever reason she missed the time, sometimes that\'s a blessing in disguise. She just loves this track too. I think a huge top is coming. The return race was more like a public workout. She just needs some kind of trip from the wide post and with so many speeds in here that could be a problem. Will probably have to look Jealous Girl in the eye at some point. See who blinks. Race analyst seems to think she\'s unsound, but I don\'t know the story there. I\'ll trust Motion in this case.

9-Roman Treasure: Funny, I saw her break her maiden back in the winter. Always liked her. I\'m just not buying the dead rail thing though. She went way too fast at Belmont, and she\'s a heavy sort who didn\'t like the deep Saratoga surface; if the track is glib and she can clear off her chances go way up but  way  too may questions for me with all the speed in here.

1-Moon Buzz: in deep.

Overall:
I love Valiant Passion-- for me, I either single her in multi-race wagers or I have to go deep because there are a lot of other legit ways to go in here with so MANY other contenders. Seems like a good betting race. Good luck & seriously be safe today and tomorrow if you\'re in the NE. Irene, get outta here fast!

Scratched

Valiant Passion is scratched!!!

[Dana666]

yes I see!

It may or may not be why, but the new C.O.O. of Team Valor has been using our stuff literally since he could read. Seems like just yesterday...

Awesome! Another reason I trust Motion and company. They wouldn\'t run her if she wasn\'t well meant!

Its not awesome if you planned on tossing her, which is what the ROTW analysis suggested.  She was the second ML choice.

I meant it was awesome that the CEO of Team Valor was using sheets. The scratch takes out the only horse I liked today.
