GP 12-23-14 R7 Msw $40k 8.5f

[Easy Goer Otis]

This is my vote for most interesting betting race of the day. Lots of cool different angles to try and beat the Pletcher horse (#9 JOURNEY PROUD 9/2):

#1 HONOR EARNED (7-2 ML) jostled in last. Draw a line through it and he fits.

#2 ROYAL SQUEEZE (3-1) looks like the lone speed in the race and could wire.

#3 MADEFROMLUCKY (8-1) should love the distance and is out of the smokin' hot sire LOOKIN AT LUCKY whose freshman crop is hitting at a remarkable 29% win rate as 2YO.

$5 SARAGUARO closer has two bullet drills coming into this race and should also like the route.

#6 SECRET CHANCE (20-1) First time starter is a full brother to SECRET CIRCLE! Hernandez riding. Other speed???

#7 EQUILIBRIUM (15-1) FTS out of Rock Hard Ten with Delgado/Prado.

#8 SAHAM (4-1) rocked a 72 Beyer in debut last month. Lost to a very good looking colt in GORGEOUS BIRD and was running step with him for step in the final furlong.

I plan to watch the tote and will try to pick the best value. There should be plenty to choose from. But one of the FTS needs to challenge ROYAL SQUEEZE for the lead to activate these closers.

Good luck and happy holidays!
