Race 10

I liked this race as a puzzle to solve.

New York Victory has two sprints at PARX for slightly less than today’s price. He was claimed last out by Michael Pino, a 22% trainer. His rider, Andry Blanco, is a 17% guy, so not a complete throwout. The horse has a race at BEL when the competent Patricia Farro was training, and he ran an even 4th. He’s 20-1 on the ML, and I don’t think he’s without a chance.

Ganso is another interesting longshot. He ran a complete clunker on the turf, came back at a mile and was actually right there for six furlongs. He has a really nice work in July, but it is a little bothersome he doesn’t show any other activity. Still, he’s getting better with experience, has speed, which is always dangerous, and has exception dirt sprint breeding.

Bird Humor doesn’t quite have the figures of a few others, but he takes the blinkers off, has shown speed and gets an interesting switch to Rosario. Some things to like.

Nicholson is another interesting longshot. I don’t like that he has nine starts, but his last three starts were on wet tracks, and despite having a high wet track rating, he seemed to despise the going. Those races were also straight maidens. Before that he had a race at SAR and finished second by a head in a time that would blow this field away. He’s very hidden and has a much bigger chance than his 15-1 ML would suggest.

Leflore County is one of the obvious horses. He has two pretty good figures in his last two, and if you throw out the turf race, he’s running consistently. He was gelded since his last, is dropping from MSW and seems to be one of the presser possibilities.

Ettaman was also gelded since his last and puts the blinkers on. If it was anyone other than Joe Sharp who claimed him last out, and a lesser jockey than Castellano riding him, I probably woudn’t give him much of a look.

Call Daddy has a lot of starts, and that’s usually a negative for me, but he was claimed last out by Gullo and has competitive figures. On paper he’s likely to get bet.

Green Gold only has two starts for Wesley Ward, and drops from MSW to this claiming price. Has shown speed and has a good series of works at KEE. 12-1 and wouldn’t be a big surprise.

I made a case for 8 horses. Good luck on this one.
