SAT Calder Grand Slam III
 

Calder - Grand Slam III

Race 2 - MSW 23K 2yo colts 5 1/2 furlongs

#2 Stormin Baghdad - Most experienced runner caught a sloppy track in 1st two starts at CD and came within a nose at Turfway (Poly). Prado hops aboard for Pitts.

The Play $3 PK3 - 2 with All with 3 = $21

Race 4 - MSW 23K 2yo colts 5 1/2 furlongs

#3 CUYUNI WATERS - Placed on the bench since finishing a nice 2nd to Cat Tour, who followed that maiden score with a dominating performance in the Seacliff Stakes. He's working well at Calder and Johnny V seems fit to ride. I can see Johnny V being all over him down the lane. BEST BET

The Play - $50 to win #3

All stakes PK4 - Grand Slam III

Leg 1 - Race 8 - Pete Axthelm

#2 Outperformance - G3 Hill Prince winner has won off similar break. His 2nd to Showing Up in the Jamaica would be more than enough to get it done here.

#3 Croton Road - Very consistent type runner who scored a couple of weeks ago in the Mels Hope from an outside post. Looking for 3 in a row.

#5 Hollywood Left - Solid before last and worth inclusion at a juicy price.

#7 Can't Beat It - Likely favorite had a troubled trip in the Trop Turf and prior to that took care of business in the G3 Calder Derby.

#11 Thunder Pass - Coming in red hot, winning 3 of last 4 and hot Coa in for the ride.

Leg 2 - Race 9 Chaposa Springs

#4 Annabill - Should handle the step up and is the horse for course. Making 14th start and all at Calder.

#6 Toll Taker - Ran out of real estate in last. Great post for her stalking style.

Leg 3 - G3 Frances Genter

#1 J'Ray - Was flying late after coming 10 wide in the Mrs. Revere at CD and has never been off the board on the lawn.

#5 Rasta Farian - Matz's runner training well for return and the price is right.

#9 Bayou's Lassie - Speed and is 3 for 4 at Calder. Dangerous up front.

#11 Captive Melody - Clement winning at 38% for the meet and he's coming off restricted stakes win in Cali. (SCR)

Leg 4 - G3 Stage Door Betty

#1 Take D' Tour - Speed and Class. The only concern is the extra weight she'll be giving up 7 to 10lbs. She can pulled the starting gate with her and still get it done.

PK4 - 2 3 5 7 11 with 4 6 with 1 5 9 11 with 1 = $40 for a buck play

Good Racing Luck

OK, with the scratch of #11 Captive Melody in the 10th, we will include #15 Rebellion (GB) in race 8.

#15 Rebellion (GB) - Solid in Europe and training well @ Palm Meadows for Motion who wins at a 39% clip with horses making their U.S. debut. Johnny V in the irons.

The Grand Slam III all stakes PK4- 2 3 5 7 11 15 with 4 6 with 1 5 9 with 1 = $36 for a buck play.

Good Racing Luck

Pick 4 Play
Race 8 - Can't Beat It
Race 9 - Toll Taker, Annabill
Race 10 - Miss Shop, Rasta Farian, J'Ray, Dancing Band

Don't like J'Ray at all but couldn't leave her off with singles on both ends.

r 8: 1,3,7
r9: 4,6
r 10: 1,8,9,14
r 11: 3,4,6

Looks like we are all still alive through two legs. Good luck!

My 2 cents
 

10th race:

10-Scarletts Pride
5- Rastafarian
12- Peak Maria's Way

exacta box

like the pride..

baker usally sends good ones....

I don't think I can even pick my nose!

Figures, I wish good luck to everyone and they get it while I bust out.

Go Cursora!

wolfson /castro in a stake=cash....looks tough here..vs the 1 ill go 1/3/4/6 super box..nicks horse is better than it looks..last out

Take D Tour sure is a monster when everyone else lets her set reasonable fractions.

Still got it, but no beating Take D' Tour today, she's galloping out like that was nothing.

congrats to those who caught. i needed to beat D Tour. Not today.

looked nice doing it...shes a nice one..

They could've had her pull the starting gate and she would've still beaten that bunch. Chalky PK4, but a win is a win. Very tough beat with Cuyuni Waters in the 3rd, Johnny V did everything in his power.
