Race Update

Track Condition: Fast
Jockey Changes: None
Scratches: None

 

[oldmanTED]

Appears the pace should be moderate up front with Alphabet Magic, Researcher and Finallymadeit keeping each other company. Simply going with the horse that I feel is the best in the country right now. Has a stalking style but do expect him to not have it easy today due to the race being on the dirt, the weight he is carrying and giving away and the way the race is set up. Lightly raced and spotted well and his 5/31 bullet workout says he's ready for his best. We'll see.

#3 Einstein (Win & Place)

Good luck everyone!
