Not exactly blown away by the field or the card as a whole

SPIRAL BRIS PP'S: http://www.brisnet.com/brisnet_promos/14Spiral.pdf

Two Grade I winners, another graded stakes winner, and a big field in general. The Spiral may not have the Derby winner in it, but it is a fine race.

Agree with Nick. The 9-11 pick 3 is very interesting. Kind of a slow week nationally, nothing wrong with this card. After this weekend we get three huge weekends of racing in a row.

Big Bazinga just might run a Big race today, draw a line through his dirt races, and fits very well here, his first two races on poly were very good and his last on turf also very good, and last beyer is 3rd highest in this race, and at 30-1, he is worth a long look to hit the board............

The only way Tamarando loses this one is if I bet him.

Super Sky in the Bourbonette and
Pletcher Exacta in the Spiral

I don't like him at all.

Please bet him

I pressed the 11. Backed up w/ 5 and 9.

Well done. And no thanks necessary. I didn't bet the 4, but my convictions can be enough sometimes.

What an awful race.

question-
I was at work, so didn't watch any race on the card except for the replay of the Spiral. Was the track speed-favoring yesterday?

Nobody closed in the Spiral. I mean Artie and Asserting Bear kinda did, but they were close-up... Just wondering if the kickback ate up the closers or? I get as far as horse's potential on dirt there wasn't much in this field, but so many in here were eligible to move up on synth and it just seemed like "first to the front, wins" (Solitary Ranger the exception).

Just wondering if the connections of a lot of these may draw a line through the race and try again in 3 weeks either in the Bluegrass? Poker Player was originally pointed there anyway?
