Katie takes over for Jackie here and I think this one still has some upside. Was very game two back wearing down the leader who got away with an easy half. Throw out the Dwyer as he’s not in the class of those horses. As long as the field stays intact, should get pace to run in to and I think he will be coming beat of all late.

Longshot: Race 6- #5 Change of Command
I have a lot of thoughts about this race. I’ve heard rumblings that at least 4 of them can really run. I would love Air of Defiance if he was breaking from any other post than the rail. He’s a huge son of Quality Road and he outworked Slip Mahoney in the morning. I just think the rail will be his undoing here. They paid a lot of money for Wajda in March after he worked 10 flat while not being asked. I just didn’t like what I saw in the works I watched locally and want to give him one. Apollo Ten worked with strong debut winner Deterministic and held his own, but dam was all turf and best sibling to race was all turf as well. Fierceness might be a good one. Has looked fast and strong in the mornings and looks like the prototypical Pletcher good thing first out, but I’m going to take a shot with another one.

They paid over a million for Change of Command last fall at Keeneland. Dam was 0 for 3 in her career, but second dam won multiple stakes sprinting. He’s looked very good in the morning looking like he has much more run to give and I expect him to run very well. Im a little concerned that Shug has had such a tough meet but I think he has a good one here.
Neither did much running

Mage was awful, English Conqueror got nipped on wire at 11-1 and paid $11.40 to place.
