Letruska is OK.. 'Prefer other more' as they say..

G/L today Tom!

That race is tougher than it looks at first glance. Diamond Oops, Math Wizard, and Letruska all graded stakes winners but Math Wizard coming off a layoff and the Saffie connection and not sold on Letruska being able to compete with these horses. Pace looks like it could set up nicely for Noble Drama...but I keep coming back to Red Crescent who should improve in 2nd off the layoff and gets a jockey upgrade with Camacho taking the mount. Not sure if he’ll win but think he’s got to be included in all bets.

For Churchill 8, I sort of want to see how the turf is playing. Reenie D has pretty good early speed. I don’t think she’s good enough but maybe she throws the pace off and sets things up for Dixieincandyland, Even Beat, or your Best Value bet V J’s Bet. Either way, I think I’m betting against Hidden Facts there.

Anyway, good luck to Steve and all. It’s nice to see Churchill and Belmont both running.
