Day 2
Such a tough card with very competitive races.
Best Bet: Race 3- #3 Whistlers Honor
Worth watching the replay of his last also. Was buried in the stretch and didn't get the most enthusiastic ride. I think Abreu is primed for a big meet and this horse should get him started. He has Biondi to run down.

Longshot: Race 6- #4 Danzigwiththestars
Feels like everyone in here could win. I'll take a shot with a horse who has shown an affinity for this course in the past and just missed last time against a few in here. SHould get the pace to run at and will get lost on the board.

Whistlers Honor showed that he can run when he's not totally buried the entire stretch and won, paying $7.60 and $4.80. Danzigwiththestars got a perfect inside/out trip by Saez to win, paying $16.20 and $7.90.

Day 3
Another skull buster of a card.
Best bet: Race 3- #8 Saratoga Chrome
This one actually won a race here last year but was DQ'd. Switched to the Michelle Nevin barn this year, she broke through the gate first time off the break, before the start, showed some early foot and packed it in. I can excuse that effort. Last time, she was totally eliminated early and actually continued on pretty well, finishing not that far behind a few of these. Is due for some luck and should be a fair price. No real knocks against the Brown favorite but the horse that beat her last time isn't much and she doesn't seem like a horse who wants a battle.

Longshot: Race 9- #4 Analogy
Set the pace two back breaking his maiden, beating a repeat winner and found himself last early last time. He absolutely flew home the last 3/16th's to just miss and IMO ran much better than Credit Event who will be half the price. This is a tough race, but I feel like this one has some upside still. Is drawn well inside and if finds a trip can be right there.

Saratoga Chrome was very flat and never got involved. Analogy made a little run but was ultimately a non factor and the blinkers back off brought out the best of Credit Event. First of many humbling moments for the meet I'm sure.

Day 4
I really struggled with this card.

Best bet: Race 9- #2 Night Time
I'm drawing a line through his last. I think they did not want to run early with Jackie's Warrior and took him back and maybe the lack of lasix hurt. He's run very well up here in the past, including losing by the smallest of noses to eventual BC Sprint winner Aloha West last summer. I trust in Rosario to work out a trip, lasix back on and should be a fair price.

Longshot: Race 8- #1 Sky and Sand
This is stab, but I keep coming back to his race two back. He ran huge that day and then was actually the favorite last time against a few in here. As good as he was two back, he was equally as bad last time. It just feels like there is an excuse that we might not know about. I can't imagine he'd be running here if he wasn't ready and might just be able to work out the perfect inside/out trip behind what should be a sharp pace. I'm just hoping his effort two back is the real him and we see that today.

Night Time made the front but tired midstretch. Strange race where a few failed to show up. Sky and Sand ran much better than his prior effort but was no match for Big Invasion who is scary good. Feel like Sky and Sand might have gotten 2nd if he had gotten clear but ultimately settled for 4th.

To me the main track and both turf courses seem to be playing pretty fair, although closers might have a small advantage on the inner. That could very well have been situational though. I'm still waiting for speed to rule the inner like we often see for weeks at a time. Other than that, no real trends IMO. Gaffalione hasn't gotten off to a good start but he and his agent are too good for that to continue.

Day 5
Another day I had a hard time deciding which horses to pick.

Best bet: Race 4- #2 Sweet Franny Lu
Almost everyone I respect likes Instinctive in here and I totally get why. She clipped heels early and never really got going after that. her prior races on the grass were strong and she will likely be a deserving favorite. I'm more interested in another horse out of the same race, Sweet Franny Lu. She had the misfortune of running into a horse who was pulling up in front of her, eliminating all chance. Two back, she successfully rated and won going away, showing a new dimension. She's drawn well inside and should get first run. Hopefully Jose Gomez can work out a trip for her.

Longshot: Race 10- #7 Big Woo
Complete guess in here with a horse who was eased in his debut. A few things to consider....he took money that day. Was 5-1 in a field of 9 at Keeneland. Has since been gelded and returns with lasix. Slight drop but nothing crazy. The biggest thing for me is the 46 and change work over the Churchill turf in June. That sticks out to me and Jose Ortiz gets on board. I've taken worst stabs in my life.

Looks like I'm under your skin, huh?

Good.

I saw a few of your pictures on Twitter Dan. Wasn't aware that you had a dog and a cat.
