Race 1
1:00p
5Firehorn
Has win at this track and distance, which should help on drop. Fast seems preferred as well
1Cadron Flats
Bejarano gets aboard fresh gelding who should benefit from stretch to 7 furlongs
2Swither's Shortcut
Selections: 5-1-2
Race 2
1:30p
7Thoughtfully
The top two choices both look well meant here, so lean toward the hotter barn and the bigger purchase price ($950k)
2American Indy
Stout pedigree here. Mixed signals from dam just 2 winners from 5 starters but both winners at 2.
5Golden Glass
Selections: 7-2-5
Race 3
2:00p
4Lemon Chill
Dropping off the layoff is a concern, but this horse is just faster than these
7She's Hot Today
Questionable dirt form but price is right given speediness of best races
6Addison
Selections: 4-7-6
Race 4
2:36p
7White Wolf
Holthus looking to cut bait here. Not type of horse I’d like as chalk but co third choice is fine
9Archival
Lots of chances, but this is just his 2nd at this level and it’s off the layoff while stretching a bit.
5Brother Martin
Selections: 7-9-5
Race 5
3:04p
2P R Radio Star
Up in class off the barn change. Like Tyler getting aboard for not a big-name trainer
5Touching Rainbows
Needs a turn around off the drop. Capable of being closer
8Pat Daddy
Selections: 2-5-8
Race 6
3:36p
7Fancy Liquor
Nothing to knock from first two starts and catches compact field with not a lot of speed
2Pleasecallmeback
First Lasix for first start with barn. Has speed further back in PPs to be dangerous
3Blanket of Roses
Selections: 7-2-3
Race 7
4:08p
2Golden Notion
Right back against winners, & Cox has a 26% strike rate and positive ROI doing that.
8Grove Daddy
Bet Mitch Get Rich? Needs plenty of pace to chase but at 30-to-1 can’t ignore races good enough against these
7Hersh
Selections: 2-8-7
Race 8
4:40p
4Elusive Molly
Speedster ships north and makes 2nd start for solid barn
1Aurelia Garland
Trainer sheds blinks for two-turn debut. Expect to be more forwardly place stretching out 2nd off layoff
7Bourbina
Selections: 4-1-7
Race 9
5:12p
4Tizahra
Tough to look past this one with last 3 turf races at or above par for level
5Rearrange
Bejarano should help from too wide of a trip after making big move when wide last out
3Take Charge Patti
Selections: 4-5-3
