Race 7 - Win #8

2 for 2 spa turf and distance, at 7-1 I don't blame you

 

[Play2win]

R7: #1 was visually impressive in last two, spa win at distance last year..#6 was making what potentially could've been winning move on inside when shutoff stretch run in most recent start, 30% trainer on the year...#9 is 2nd off layoff comes out of race won by entry mate, turf monster at Parx makes this shipper dangerous, should get nice pace to run down

Even though #1 looked good winning last 2 races, this is much tougher group, 3/2 huge underlay

 

[Play2win]

10-1 was a bad morning line on #9

 

[Gandolf]

Brutal beat for the 9.

FML

 

[Dollaz]

damn, just not my day.

 

[Play2win]

Lol, take him down

 

[KJ]

Well that was fun, nice close tho

Trainer's objection lol, bring it down

 

[Gandolf]

Payback for Carmouche's objection on Saturday?

 

[KJ]

might actually happen

 

[Gandolf]

I don't see any issue.

 

[KJ]

I saw some bullying back there but hard to get it unanimous

 

[Play2win]

I don't see any issue.

When #1 angled out he did saw off #5, not sure it should've warranted action but watch head on stretch replay, it was pretty bad

 

[Gandolf]

OK, I see it now on the replay. I'm impressed Carmouche made that move actually, he's ridden like a dog so far this meet. He was about to let another live one get away.

R8 #3 makes 1st start vs NY bred competition after running vs much better in previous races

#3 could win but 5/2 isn't going to get me out for the weekend. .

R8: DD #6/3,5,7

 

[Play2win]

R8 #6 added blinkers 2 back and ran career best race (71 Beyer) even though tough trip, last time out clipped heels on what was listed as good turf course..throw that race out

 

[Play2win]

R9

#3 drops from MSW to Maiden Claimers, 2nd off layoff and adds blinkers
#5 is off layoff but debut turf race in MSW race makes him a possibility
#7 another MSW drop down, last on dirt is throw out race, 2 back was good effort on turf

 

[Play2win]

R8 #10 could win but I don't want 2-1 1st time vs winners breaking from 10 post on inner turf, super impressive in debut win though

 

[Gandolf]

Man, if you are not in the top 3 on the turn in these turf routes you've got absolutely no shot.
