Well, yesterday Race of the Day the winner went to 1- Candy Boy. Were we surprised?? Probably not, he was one of the three that has posted a above 90 Breyer. So what happened to the other horses?? The 7- Chitu bobbled at the start so he did not get the lead that he wanted, but he stayed with the lead. Should be a horse to watch. The 3- Midnight Hawk was pulled between horses (according to DRF results). May be that Smith was trying to get him to relax stalking but the horse may be fighting him? I don't know for sure. As for the 4-Home Run Kitten, I think it was just a bad ride by Talamo, he went inside then back outside, made a move in the middle but was just going all over. I'll be interested to see his next race.
On to today's Race of the Day: GP Donn Handicap race 12
who do we take?? 2- Will Take Charge? 3- Revolutionary? 5- River Seven? 6- Romansh? 8- Lea? With the exception of Will Take Charge who is 9-5 ML, the others are about 4 to 10-1 ML. Can we take WTC @ a short price?? After all, he almost won the Breeders Cup and he beat Game On Dude. I really don't know. Think need to watch the tote. 3-Revolutionary I don't know what to think of him. He won his first race after the layoff @ 1 mile earning 93 Beyer. Pletcher/Castellano combo must respect, but I don't really know what to make of that race. There were only 5 horses and the company was pretty weak. Although the place horse came back and win yesterday, but he was at somewhere around 15-1 and the place horse of that race is huge odds 138-1. So...... I'm gonna take a stab at this race cause don't really like anything. I'm gonna go with the 6- Romansh @ 6-1 @ ML. From the Godophin group that cost them $750k as a yearling, I don't think we have seen the best of him yet. That 110 Beyer from last race just jumps off the page. He ran 1:48 last race going today's distance at Aquaduct. I think that should some merit to that unless he just freaked that day. I know the company was weak, but still 110 Beyer?! Prolly gonna use him with WTC and Revolutionary in some kind of superfecta wager with 4-Neck n Neck and 9- Bourbon Courage in the bottom.
