Hard to believe we're down to the last two weeks of the meet. Big week coming up, hoping the weather cooperates a little.

Day 30
Best bet: Race 3- #1/1A Jacobson entry
I prefer Mid Day Image on the cutback here. If he ends up scratching I might have to alter this pick. I like the cutback, Jacobson barn going well right now and I think he fits really well. If High Front wins, I lose. That Canterbury race sticks out like a sore thumb and I need to see him do that again

Longshot: Race 6- #1 Albedo
I thought this one ran okay in spots in his debut. Didn't break sharp, but made his way into contention and was green through the lane. Blinkers, Saez and projected improvement 2nd out make this one dangerous IMO

Both picks were awful. Can’t get any momentum started and am pressing at this point.

Day 31

Best bet- Race 6- #5 Sousa Summer
Loses Rosario, who gave him a perfect ride last time when he ran down a well meant horse. Should get plenty of pace to run at and he really seems to thrive here

Longshot: Race 3- #5 Unanimous Consent
I expect a much better effort today 2nd off the long break. At one point this one was one of Chad’s better 3 year olds. He’s a horse that needs a busy ride, so in retrospect Irad might’ve been a bad fit last time. Gets Manny Franco back, should get some pace to run at.

That'll get you back on track Hossy.. Great job in a tough race.

I used Sosua last time as a DePaula Play and just had co-owner Gary Barber Wednesday (and brought him up on air..) and then didn't use him yesterday..

Unanimous Consent was bad, but Sousa Summer got a prefect ride to just hold off Fauci who got an even better ride, paying $8.70 and $4

Day 32

Best bet: Race 5- #3 Alternate Reality
Katie takes over for Jackie here and I think this one still has some upside. Was very game two back wearing down the leader who got away with an easy half. Throw out the Dwyer as he’s not in the class of those horses. As long as the field stays intact, should get pace to run in to and I think he will be coming beat of all late.

Longshot: Race 6- #5 Change of Command
I have a lot of thoughts about this race. I’ve heard rumblings that at least 4 of them can really run. I would love Air of Defiance if he was breaking from any other post than the rail. He’s a huge son of Quality Road and he outworked Slip Mahoney in the morning. I just think the rail will be his undoing here. They paid a lot of money for Wajda in March after he worked 10 flat while not being asked. I just didn’t like what I saw in the works I watched locally and want to give him one. Apollo Ten worked with strong debut winner Deterministic and held his own, but dam was all turf and best sibling to race was all turf as well. Fierceness might be a good one. Has looked fast and strong in the mornings and looks like the prototypical Pletcher good thing first out, but I’m going to take a shot with another one.

They paid over a million for Change of Command last fall at Keeneland. Dam was 0 for 3 in her career, but second dam won multiple stakes sprinting. He’s looked very good in the morning looking like he has much more run to give and I expect him to run very well. Im a little concerned that Shug has had such a tough meet but I think he has a good one here.
