Sunset Louise is the obvious horse to beat here but I wonder if she is as good on a dry track as she is when it's wet. I think she will face a little pace pressure here and I think the race sets up well for Timeless Journey. She's fresh, gets a patient rider and I think a mile hits her right between the eyes.

Longshot: Race 6- #1 Buttercream Babe
They paid $180k for this daughter of Twirling Candy in April after she was a $140k buy in September. She worked 10 flat at the Ocala sale but I really liked the work I watched on XBTV. She was inside of two horses, battled well in hand while the rider struggled to get her on the correct lead, but once she did she took off again and was much the best. I think she has some ability

Substitute #1 Morethanafeeling in the 10th

Day 21

Rocco Strong looked like a winner at the top of the stretch but was ultimately 2nd bets paying $4.40 to place. With Know Name stunk

Day 22

Best bet: Race 5- #4 Lady Milagro
Scratches help this one out a lot as I think she’s alone on the lead as long as she breaks. Torres rides speed well and I think she’s long gone.

Longnshot: Race 6- #5 Provocateur
Last years Hutcheson winner is now with Bill Mott after being sold last fall and has been working well. He held his own with Art Collector in their work two back and I think he falls into a dream spot behind what should be a quick pace. Mott having a strong meet and he hasn’t missed a beat since mid May.

Lady Milagro was lone speed, set a fact pace and held well for 2nd paying $4.60 to place. I thought Provocatuer ran really well. Was on the fast pace, dropped back and then battled well just getting out finished for 2nd. Unfortunately you don’t get paid for running well.

Day 23

Best bet: Race 5- #5 Deterministic
I really liked the way this colt looked in his August 5th work. Started about 2 lengths behind his workmate, was kept behind him into the stretch and then once he was shown daylight he really extended and picked up his workmate. Ive noticed this is something Clement has done with his two other 2 year old debut winners at the meet. They paid $625,000 for this son of Liam’s Map at the Keeneland September sale which made him the highest priced Liam’s Map sold at the sale.


Longshot: Race 2- #1/1A Entry
I prefer All About Tonite who looked like a little rocket ship in the 7/17 work from the gate. Dam a 3 time winner on the grass and The Factor is a decent grass sire. I think this one is quick and might end up getting lost on the board

LOL I suck.

The entry, more specifically the horse I preferred wasn’t good but I might be interested in the horse next time because he ran like a horse that needed one. Deterministic looked like a horse who has a date with stakes in his future. Off slow and swung widest of all and when he leveled out he ran and won paying $9.10 and $5.20
