Arl. Race 7 7/11

What do you guys think about Dark Sky in this one? I know he is only 7/2 but i was at CD for his 1st race and was somewhat impressed i know that the one that beat him got creamed in his next race but i really like his pedigree and am a little surprised that he's not on the turf for his next race but just wanted to know what the opinions are on the horse's chances.

From first glance... was my top pick in that race.

If you're capping AP tomorrow, don't forget about the early pick 4 carryover ($12,786).

I think she (it is a filly by the way) has a very big chance.
The recent wet weather should favor her if she flashes that same early speed, and given her dam-side pedigree, the switch to poly could move her up.
I don't like the ML favorite (the Frank Brothers filly) in this race at all. Given her past performances, she just doesn't seem like a polytracker.

The three horses that I see as the biggest contenders are:
#8 Dark Sky - Dallas Stewart (7/2)
#5 Saratoga Summer - Bill Mott (9/2)
#2 E Major - Chuck Simon (8/1)

Those are my picks too, and in the exact order. Been in a mini slump at AP recently, hoping to break out of it, especially since going tomorrow. Hopefully I don't jinx you.
Don't hit many slumps with AP (if I break even for a day I'm normally upset), but guess we all have to go thru it at one time or another.

here's my pick 4:
1,2,7/1,2/2,7,9/6,10 $36

Dark Sky scratched along with Saratoga Summer....

[Bogey]

Early PK4

R2 - 1 6 / 2 3 4 5 / 7 / 3 6 = $16
