#3 Snow Top Mountain (6-1) - Fits at this level and her late kick must always be respected. 2ND
#7 Romacaca (5-2) - Yes she'll be the controlling speed on a course she loves, but the questions are - is she the same at 6yrs old and at this distance? WON $11.00

R8 - G3 American Derby (Turf 9.5F) NOTE: Huge scratch of Silver Max changes the race dramatically.

#5 Daddy Nose Best (5-1) - Disappointed in first two legs of the Triple Crown and returns to arguably his preferred surface after a freshening. Expecting him to run down Silver Max late. 4TH
#8 Southern Parkway (15-1) - Has been improving and reunites with top local turf jock.
#4 Skyring (8-1) - Only turf start was a stakes win, but he had a candy trip versus lesser. 3RD

R10 - G3 Stars and Stripes (Turf 12F)

#3 Eagle Poise (5-1) - No stranger to distance races and Motion brings him in fresh.
#10 Musketier (Ger) (3-1) - Old guy must overcome wide draw, but his resume is impressive at this level. 2ND
#9 Working for Hops (6-1) - Looks to be the controlling speed, I'm just not sure if he's in the best form or if he wants any part of 12 panels.
#6 Suntracer (12-1) - Does his best work late and could easily catch a minor slice at a price. 3RD
#6 Joinem (9-2) - Consistent runner must always be used underneath.

Good Racing Luck

Silver Max never showed up on the grounds.. So expect him to scratch.

Big scratch, I haven't heard or read for the reason why. Romans still has Cozzetti and Quick Wit in the American Derby. It changes the race completely.

Headed to the VA Derby instead.

Best of luck today Gus, wife and I are headed up around R5, should be a fun day.

surprised sachem spirit is out too... looks like ill just have to single southern parkway..

playing against musketier

I am too.. I am going take a stab with Suntracer.

Thanks SBL, enjoy the day.

Great job so far. I was going 3 / 3 7 in the early DD but included your 5 after he drifted up a bit in odds, thanks. :$:

That Big Brown colt looked great.

Thanks, yeah he really exploded late to get by Divito's horse.

The 6 year old still looked tough, nice to hold off the 3
Romacaca :tro:

That was something how she fought back in the final stages to overtake Snow Top Mountain.

No Doubt, Ioya Bigtime set the stage.

Get out race, 2-1 on #10 Grand Avenue is very generous w/ 6 MTP - Not so generous after all

tote delay. well I guess. The P4 price is going to blow the board up.

$22,000 for .50.

Yeah, the PK5 carryover is $66k for tomorrow (Sunday). That was a blood bath today, get 'em manana.

Yes, already started capping. It looks like a tough sequence but definitely worth a shot.
