Race Update

Track Conditon: Fast
Jockey Changes: None
Scratches: None

 

[glenrobinson]

Tough field, could choose between 6-7 horses easily in my opinion. I'll take a shot with #8 even though Pletcher in a big stakes is not my favorite trainer. GL-

 

[G.MONEY]

6 W+P

6-9-8 box Exacta

 

[Michelangelo]

Exacta box

5 Macho Again
8 Harlem Rocker
11 Pyro

These horses have all had trouble catching uncontested speed, which I don't think we'll see today. But when the speed breaks down thses babies should get there.
