[JimmyJet]

Spring House probably needed last race and is getting better weight differential this time from Black Astor. Spring House to Win...looking for Artiste Royale to complete Exacta

#8 to Win....8-9 Exacta Box

 

[$hedrow$leeper]

# 3- SIR DAVE (12-1) M.L.- Hard Trying Gelding From The Carava Shedrow,Gets Mr.Rosario Today And Needs The Right Trip!!!!! Two Maintenance Drills Between Starts,Is Well Meant Today 1-3-8 Turf Event For The La Canada Stables- Get The $$$.

 

[Gravy]

Going with the #9 Artiste Royal W/P

 

[oldmanTED]

While it appears that Black Astor and Ghetto might hook up at the front end of this marathon, not so sure about that. I think Black Astor will dispose of Ghetto when he wishes and then it will be up to the field to catch him if they can. Fractions my be a little bit faster then the normal crawl and that may set the race for a close tracker. Going with the two time winner at this particular distance.

#8 Spring House (Win & Place)

Good luck everyone!

That's alright. At least we got you involved in Horse Racing and you'll be able to go over to Belmont Park shortly and meet up with some of our racing posters. I'll continue to post my daily thread (well almost everyday) so all can enjoy and share their thoughts and picks.
