My multi race exotics for the day.
Pick 3 races 1 through 3 1,2,4,6,9/9,11/1,2,6
Race 1-in all fairness, I don't like anybody
1 Highly Motivated-Castellano and Chad Brown team-barely beaten 1st out on a muddy track-won 2nd
2 Roderick-threw out the last race because it was on turf-threw out race before since it looked like a troubled trip and was taken up-including because of the maiden victory and price
4 Upstriker-nice maiden win-speed and fade last out cutting back in distance-my top choice
6 Quick Tempo-don't really care about the first 2 races even though he won first time out because one was on synthetic and one was turf-really just including because of the last Beyer for his first time on dirt-I know Beyer's aren't a great way of handicapping a race but the numbers are what they are
9 Saffa's Day-good maiden win at the same track-like Asmussen and Santana team sprinting
Race 2
9 The Grass is Blue-Don't like that his maiden win was in a weak claiming race but at least he dominated-huge trainer upgrade after that with another good win in allowance company-also a closer in a race with a lot of speed
11 Farsighted-the other closer in a race with a lot of speed
Race 3
1 Enforceable-seems quick enough-no recent results but all on the dirt
2 No Word-again, seems fast enough but seems to get himself in trouble a lot-looking for a better trip today-last 3 losses have been by less than a combined 2 lenghts
6 Fancy Liquor-looks like the best of the speed and the other 2 are way outside of him-should be able to get out
Pick 4 races 4-7 1,2,4,9/5,6,8/14/2,5,6,9
Race 4-I wish I had the money to have them all
1 Bye Bye J-bad start 2 back but that was off a layoff with an outside trip-also gets Santana back
2 Amy's Challenge-good at the distance-she's consistent if nothing else
4 Into Chocolate-throw out the race 2 back and she fit's nicely-like the price
9 Royal Chocolate-4 wins and 2 seconds at the distance-Castellano and Brown
Race 5-really just looking for someone that can get the distance, especially on dirt so I hate the race
5 Tenfold-because I want to play the Pick4 so I have to take someone
6 You're to Blame-because I want to play the Pick 4 so I have to take someone
8 Ry's the Guy-same as other 2
Race 6
14 Golden Pal-appears to be far and away the best horse in the race and I like the outside post in turf sprints
Race 7
2 New Mandate-won 3 straight in Europe with Frankie Dettori on board now
5 Cadillac-competitive in a group 1 in Europe last out with a group 2 second by a half length before that
6 Mutasaabeq-had a nice closing kick to win last out-one bad race before that looks like a troubled trip
9 Battleground-nice group 2 win last out-Ryan Moore and Aiden O'Brien team up
Pick 4 races 7-10 2,5,6,9/7/4,5,8,10/5,7,9
Race 7
Same as above
Race 8
7 Princess Noor-I realize the Beyers aren't necessarily there but he's been so dominant that it's being geared down at the end all 3 races-oh yeah and Bob Baffert
Race 9
4 Plum Ali-nice back to back wins in stakes after breaking the maiden-like Christophe Clement on the turf
5 Aunt Pearl-2 really solid wins to start the career-if you don't know who Brad Cox is you will soon
8 Mother Earth-competitive against better competition in Europe-see about about Moore and O'Brien especially at 20-1 on the morning line
10 Campanelle-seriously considered singling this horse-broke maiden easily at Gulfstream and then went to Europe to win a group 1 and a group 2
Race 10
5 Essential Quality-looks like a reliable closer in a race with just about everyone else being a speed horse
7 Jackie's Warrior-I don't think there is any question that he is the fastest horse but first time around 2 turns with a tone of speed
9 Sittin On Go-the other closer I like with all of the speed
