    For all the Zenyatta fans

    Her foal 1-Cozmic One 15-1!!!, yeah right, makes 3rd start but tries the turf for the first time in race 9 tomorrow at Del Mar. Think the 10 and 12 are the obvious ones but 7-Brulee 20-1 may outrun those odds. Morey only runs his live one at Del Mar. First time in barn. A bunch of horses have come back to run well in future starts from his only race too.

    Race 1 just finished but was pretty obvious anyway


    Saturday

    Saratoga

    Race 1
    2-Lionite 7-2(When Asmussen horses train fast, they run fast. He usually works them very average so if a horse is showing bullets it's probably on its own ability)
    5-Mojovation(Pletcher,Winstar,Zayat,Johnny V...Fast works leading into debut at Spa. Seen this about 1000 times.)
    4-Thunder Mesa 12-1(Just as likely to move forward a ton as the Wilkes horse who is 2-1 ml. Those two 4 and 3 have a nice edge with a fitness race in the bank vs all firsters but hard to go against TAP , especially when he has 2 entered. Need to beat one of the 4 faves to be worthwhile)
    Race 2
    6-Painter's Rags 8-1(Tough,tough race. Could make a case for every horse so this is just a first look. Depending how betting goes could wind up on any)
    Race 3
    2-Murrell's Belle 12-1(Hard to get past the favorites. Many arrows pointing to a progression in 4th start/2nd off layoff. Would put her in the picture)
    3-Kirby's Penny
    Race 4
    8-Chirping 12-1
    9-Johnny Ray 10-1(Another very tough race but at least race 2 there is some form. This is almost all 1sters with Pletcher, and C Brown starting faves. Beta Max is a 1/2 to turf sprint monster Lady Shipman and just 1 of 2 entered for turf ace G Motion. So another where closing odds will be a big factor. Chirping is by new sire off to a good start and maybe a bit unknown trainer in NY T Proctor only brings live ones to Spa. W Ward may be the best 2 year old trainer there is and horse is a 1/2 to a few pretty good horses who ran their best on turf.)
    Race 5
    2-Coal Front 7-5(If Pletcher doesn't have a few wins already he should get one here. Horse is already fastest and looks to progress)
