Day 33 Travers Day!
Fantastic card today. I know a few of the stakes are light in terms of number of entrants but the quality is there. Let's make some money.
Best bet: Race 11- #8 Zandon
I flirted with making G Munning in the 4th my best bet because I think that horse has a big shot but ultimately landed on Zandon in the Travers. First, pricewise, I think he's going to get lost on the board and will be 5th choice behind Epicenter, Artorious, Cyberknife and Early Voting. I think the Jim Dandy was a prep in every sense of the word. He was much closer to the pace than he had ever been and made the first move on Early Voting because Prat didn't want him to get away in that small field. He's much better when he can relax early and make one run. I thought he ran well in the Jim Dandy making that first move and then digging in to hang on for 2nd. I'm just hoping he's sitting 3rd or 4th early, makes the one run and can run down whoever is in front at that point.
Longshot: Race 12- #6 Fuoco
Serpe barn has been going well all meet. I think this horse rates a big chance today based off his last where he blew open the race around the turn and tired late in a race that fell apart. The two horses he put away around the turn ended up finishing 8th and 10th (last). Should be a giant price anyway and going from Jose Ortiz to Trevor McCarthy should add a few points as well.
Good luck!
