7th: S/ALW, 3yo-F, 6f (P3, DD, Super)

Very tricky starter with pace scenario the key. No More Yogi's and Livingtheblues have edge on group but could blunt each other's chances with a duel that could be prompted by a couple other candidates. Take the speeds and hope one gets away or look to the stalker-closers to pick up the pieces? Your call..

IMPORTANT SCRATCH: No More Yogi's is scratched, which opens up the front end a lot better for Livingtheblues..

9th: MDN CLM, 3yo, 9f-Outer Turf (Super)

Trip's the thing here with lower level turf maidens. These frequently are won well by nice lawn bred types with darkened form, but there are several here who qualify on that front. Tough finish to achallenging sequence..

Gotta root for the 'home team' in the 6th at GP today..............as you pointed out #2 Naples Bay is a half to Medaglia D'Oro and was bred by the original owners of that fine stallion. Al and Joyce Bell live here in Great Falls and still own Cappucino Bay and looks like they received a nice sum for this offspring. Best of luck to the Montana connection!!

Would love to Naples run big here. Love all the D'Oro connected horses.

PK4 / PK5 Race 6 Clarification
 

Just curious as to Gulf Race 6 in the PK5 you have 2-6-8-12 posted and in the PK4 you have 1-2-4-6-12.

Is it safe to assume for the PK5 the selections for should 2-4-6-12

Thanks

B/ink,

Thx~! Yes. With the 8 scratching the core P5 horses are the 2-4-6-12. I added the 1 for the P4.

G/L!

Cha-ching $$$$$$$

How about that? The Mott & Violette got the money. I was surprised... Horse ran very well. Super professional debut.

$21,887 Carryover into Thursday. Major golden rail today that propelled horses that stuck to it...

Good call with the Giant Causeway daughter. Price was crazy.

Will be fun to monitor the development going forward...................might be the best price you can get for a couple of starts............
