Race 2      4-5-6

Winning for Sarah ships in from Parx for Patricia Farro. She has a two race winning streak and has won 3 of her last 4. Price level should be no problem. Benny’s Bullet should be contensting the early pace. Better on the dirt. Sun and Moon moves back to the dirt where she’s got a good record.. She’s got a second at SAR.

Race 3      4-7-2

Stone Supplier has a strong workout pattern and Levine is 19% with first timers. Lady Daphne goes for Brown/Castellano. She’s dropping out of MSW into the claiming ranks.  Claddagh’s Button improved when dropped to the claiming level.

Race 4      2-4-1

Alex the Terror is dropping from a stakes race to the $40K claimer. Has run his best figures on the dirt. Whateveryouwant just won an OC $40K and has won 3 of his last 4. Sunny Puzzle and Gypsum Johnny make a good combo for Contessa and he managed to attact Castellano and Irad for the ride.

Race 5      5-1-9-3

Kentucky Road sold for ten times the stud fee and has a nice workout pattern. Tizasong goes for Graham Motion. The last work over the SAR surface was encouraging. Double Dose is the other Pletcher runner and gets the usual number one jock in Johnny V. Last work was on the turf and that makes me wonder, but otherwise the combo is hard to ignore. Big Thrill was a $410K purchase and should be given some consideration.

Race 6      9-1-10 (12)

Kensington Court seemed up against it in the allowance ranks and drops back to claimers. Pletcher is good with that move. Ready Strike is another dropping after struggling with allowance horses. Should get a good spot from the inside. Marvino has been close in his last two after breaking his maiden and although he is coming from the 10 post, he should be able to get a decent early spot. Dynamic Decision is in the mix if he draws in.

Race 7      4-8-3

Vicki’s Dancer was taken last out by DJ who is having a fairly uninspired meet. The horse has the best last race figure and is well placed for a win. Sister Sophia has a two race win streak and has the figures to compete here. Alexandrie looks like a better horse on the turf  and beat a better field in her last sprint.

Race 8      7-5-2

The marathon Birdstone is a tough race to dissect. Tacticus didn’t look bad in his last start and gets Lasix today. He’s been the distance so the 14 furlongs shouldn’t be an issue. Cary Street has been keeping company with graded stakes types and is 1 of 1 at the distance. Micromanage has been exclusively in stakes company and also has a win at the distance.

Race 9      7-6-5

Fashion Fund has had success at this level in 2015. Is 2 of 3 in the money at SAR and should have no issue with the distance. Regardez goes for Brown/Ortiz, a 28% combo. Has been a beaten favorite in her last two but was competitive in both. 3 of 4 in the money at the distance. Radiator is a likely pace presser and is decently bred for the distance.

Race 10   6-3-4

Antrim Colleen ran her best race when dropped to the claiming level and is back there today. Angel Choir drops to her lowest price. She has the best speed and the drop may put her over the top. Accord puts the blinkers on and drops to her lowest price. The last race figure says competitive.
