The Sadler does seem like a Capt. Obvious horse in the 5th (may go off at even money?) and your girlfriend, Kayla Stra looks like she will insure that he gets a nice pace to run at as well.

Neither Gaines horse in the 4th concern me at all (that alone should make one of them an automatic winner). It looks like she can't decide what to do with On Your Mark. (sprint on dirt, route on turf, sprint on poly, route on turf and now route on poly) Team Builder has had his chances and I would let him beat me.

Sleep Tight showed some speed with Carava, but Pender is no Carava. I also don't think she will be alone on the front end. You can have the outside horse.

Dude, have you seen the trainers stats on He's A Sure Call? Are you adding them both because they are by the same sire? He was turf only and didn't race at 2.


Random thoughts III

Agreed with your thoughts regarding On Your Mark, but I think she warrents consideration just on the drop. I don't like Team Builder either, but I do think that she might try to steal the race on the frond end. Doesn't seem to be any speed besides the 8 in the race.

I like the cutback for Sleep Tight, although I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a big fan on horses running back 6 days later.

As far as He's a Sure Call goes, yeah the trainers stats are pretty bad, but the numbers are very limited. His stats for the meet aren't awful. 5 starters with a winner and 2 places. Makes me think that he's sending out horses that at least have a chance. Really its a Maiden 40k for Statebreds, nothing would suprise me in this race. Besides the worktab for the horse is far from horrible.

Remember the discussion we had the other day, about trying to catch prices here and there? Well this is me throwing my line in the water trying to snag one in what seems to be a fairly wide open race.
