9th: Goodwood (G1), 3+, 9f ($5 DD)

Solid group for the Classic prep and a tricky read given what might be a serious pace affair. First Mission and Full Serrano have profiles that typically play well in this and Baffert offers 3yos (Privman/Nevada Beach) that might be capable of forward moves. Glatt's Ultimate Gamble ran a sneaky career best behind Fierceness and Journalism in the PacClassic and wouldn't those 2 be heavy favorites here? That's what I thought..

Should that turf pick 3 be race 6,8 and 10?

Yup.. THX. Fixed.. Numbers were/are correct.

I'd better play it then😁

Nice Job on that Double... It really came back light vs Parlay you deserved more.
