The Clement is an interesting filly and very well can be used. She's a sister to the dam of Imperial Council (Jaramar Rain, who was Picnic Rock's dam's best runner to date). And from a trainer angle point of view, Clement has won twice debuting at 9f on lawn in the last 5 years, from 12 tries, and most interestingly, they were with 12-1 and 13-1 runners that ran low 80's Beyers.

I'm also going to put together a PK 4 for today, and the Clement horse is hard to toss. One horse I'm interested in as a longshot is the 3 horse, Grace's Valentine. She obviously showed little as a 2-year old, but is bred to love the turf. If she grew up at all over the winter, Albertrani might have her ready to put forth a good effort off the layoff.

Also interested in that horse but not going to bet it to win.

I don't know if Albertrani will have her ready, and I'm not a pedigree expert, but unless she's crooked as a "?", she's a helluva broodmare prospect... A Rahy mare out of a Roberto mare.

Well, upon further inspection, this is a rare property as a broodmare prospect..

Grace's Valentine is out of Roberto's Plenty of Grace, the Galbraith-bred, Darby Dan-campaigned, John Veitch-trained 5X Graded Stakes winner. She has been more productive producing producers than runners so far. She got Bonnie Byerly (dam of Diabolical) and Propriety (dam of Grace Anatomy).

She herself is out of Wings of Grace, a daughter of Key to the Mint produced from a mating with Far Beyond, a daughter of.. Nijinsky! In addition to Plenty of Grace, Wings of Grace produced.. Soaring Softly.

Obviously, no matter how slow she looks so far, I doubt we'll see Grace's Valentine in a claimer any time soon...

I used Steve's picks - but just modified my P4 to a single in the first leg (#2) and opened up the feature fearing Steve's comments on "Heart".

End results is being alive to 2,3,5,6,7,9 - win or lose thanks Steve!
