Winds may be an issue today.I can just imagine the hill contest with gusts of wind(and the dreaded speed-extending cheater's rail up.)

Being inside in the hill race as Steve mentions for Liberian Fighter isn't necessarily a good thing, the outside(especially outside speed) is very good going down the hill. An old timer when I was in college told me this at the OTB down in Carbondale and of course I listened, but from what I have seen in the last 7 years, it holds true, that the outside, especially outside speed, holds well.

As far as that race is concerned, while I think Belafonte is the most likely winner, I think you should look closely at Mullin's horse, #5 Ten Meropa. I like that Bejarano is taking this mount and this horses lone turf work is pretty good. Should get a good closing trip and if Bejarano waits for all those horses to swing 6w like some do going down the hill, he might be able to shoot the rail with this one. Playable, especially if the horse takes some action early in the betting.

Really close. I'm surprised they didn't put up the photo.

A very serious bob....inch in front of wire and inch after he would have been bobbed....another good ride by Rosario though, continues to bring in these bombs. He loves to sit the rail and find a hole and explode through it, I haven't seen him on the lead though....
