I had a couple of concerns here that may prove to be moot if there is a scratch or two. First, why are both A Little Warm and Miners Reserve showing up in this spot? Just 11 days from this race, they run the listed Barbaro Stakes at the same distance and track for $100,000 against straight 3yos. To be fair, it's likely that Zito has another horse pointing for that race.
Also, and I could be dead wrong as it's essentially a second tier track, but wouldn't it be better to run against straight 3yos than tackle older horses? Especially considering its a second condition allowance, not a first. Anyways, A Little Warm IMO still needs to prove his routing ability and given some of the concerns I mentioned I don't think it'll be as much of a slam dunk as it would appear on the surface (I say this because Tony Dutrow is quoted in the DRF mentioning "bigger and better things".)

Doing this could easily give them a false sense of hope that A Little Warm can go far. Even the Fair Grounds speed bias on LA Derby day couldn't get him home.

imo miners reserve is a very serious horse and will be very tough if he starts here.

I don't like those meltdown-types, particularly when they only show their best stuff in allowance races. At least he's only 3, so he has a license to mature/improve, etc.

I guess 6 scratches in the race changes things. Don't know much about the other two horses in here, but I wonder if it will play out like a match race between A Little Warm and Miner's Reserve.
