I'm drawing a line through his last. I think they did not want to run early with Jackie's Warrior and took him back and maybe the lack of lasix hurt. He's run very well up here in the past, including losing by the smallest of noses to eventual BC Sprint winner Aloha West last summer. I trust in Rosario to work out a trip, lasix back on and should be a fair price.
Longshot: Race 8- #1 Sky and Sand
This is stab, but I keep coming back to his race two back. He ran huge that day and then was actually the favorite last time against a few in here. As good as he was two back, he was equally as bad last time. It just feels like there is an excuse that we might not know about. I can't imagine he'd be running here if he wasn't ready and might just be able to work out the perfect inside/out trip behind what should be a sharp pace. I'm just hoping his effort two back is the real him and we see that today.

Night Time made the front but tired midstretch. Strange race where a few failed to show up. Sky and Sand ran much better than his prior effort but was no match for Big Invasion who is scary good. Feel like Sky and Sand might have gotten 2nd if he had gotten clear but ultimately settled for 4th.

To me the main track and both turf courses seem to be playing pretty fair, although closers might have a small advantage on the inner. That could very well have been situational though. I'm still waiting for speed to rule the inner like we often see for weeks at a time. Other than that, no real trends IMO. Gaffalione hasn't gotten off to a good start but he and his agent are too good for that to continue.
