Race Update

Track Condition: Muddy
Jockey Changes: #4 Be Fair - Ramon Dominquez
Scratches: None

 

[oldmanTED]

With the track condition being muddy and the pace not likely to be hot, looking for a close up stalker in this one. Won't be much of a price but should win this one.

#1 Seventh Street (Win Only)

Good luck everyone!
