Not what I like to see. One of the couple of handicapping opinions that I respect and I think you used about every single horse that I plan to leave off that I am really scared of including your best bet of the day. Keras Kitten, Denomination, Malibu Kid. What are you liking about Kera's Kitten?

Gus,

Great job yesterday. Here's to keeping the B-Day weekend rolling.

Please check the 7th, Kera's Kitten is the #5 I believe.

Thanks as always for the inputs and insights, and BOL today.

Thanks as always Gus. Belated Happy Birthday to you and a job well done yesterday! Good luck with your plays today.

Gus, Maker told me a couple days ago he was not shipping KK up there to spot the field 6lbs in a 50k race.....look for him to scratch unless Ramsey vetoes.

Thanks Tiznowthegreat,

Kera's Kitten - I'm expecting him to really turn it around today on the switch back to the grass. He had some legitimate excuses in his last two and Leparoux should able to dictate the pace scenario. He's bounced back from a poor performance in the past and the works indicate a positive sign.

Denomination - She's a tremendous bargain at anywhere near her 10-1 ML, she should of won for fun in her last if it wasn't for some serious traffic trouble.

Malibu Kid - Versatale runner has shown can fire a big one and doesn't necessarliy need the lead. He's failed twice when facing graded company, but this seems to be his best chance. It doesn't hurt his last win was on this strip. He a must use for all spots.

Good Luck Today

Thanks Jack, it makes sense.

Thanks Larry and Tom, enjoy the races and best of luck this weekend.

Off the turf @ AP; Free Fighter scratched.

I was looking forward to 10/1, Gus. He looked good.

Booner, yeah a bit disappointing about the scratch. I'm taking a shot at Churchill Downs Race 9 - #7 Playa Bonita (6-1 ML) - First time with Dutrow after being extremely competitive in Cali. Good Luck

You too, Gus.
