Look for the #7 to win from a strong closing kick as the speed upfront breaks down in the stretch.

Race Update:

Track Condition: Fast
Jockey Changes: None
Scratches: #2 Be Bullish & #6 Motor Patrol

 

[oldmanTED]

Pace setter appears to be Driven by Success and he could very well wire this field. I'll take a stand against him however.

#7 Law Enforcement (Win & Place)

Good luck everyone!

[oldmanTED]

Thanks guys! Some of these jocks don't know how to rate a horse. Knew I had a great chance when I heard the quarter and half splits.
