Ballston--Going with Tapitsfly hopefully he wont be messed with on the lead too much. or will rate kindly and kick strongly in the stretch
Victory Ride--really dont have an opinion one way or other, i wont be playing the race, this one where I will go with the all button in pk3s and 4s Ballerina--Hour Glass my pick, Hilda could be going the wrong way Kings Bishop--Dominus hopefully will bounce back from the loss but im not kidding myself he will need his all time best race to win but my top pick, Uncle Mo is training like a monster and Flashpoint is no joke. Travers--Love coil and raison d'etat, I will use both in pk3s and pk4s, but in win bets Raison will be the choice, and he will be on top of tris and supers i play

I hope I'm not falliing into the wise guy horse with Raison d'Etat. I see a well bred horse with a lot of upside potential. The key thing is this field is filled with mediocre horses. Bill Mott usually enters horses in stakes races where he thinks he has a shot. Raison d' Etat will have to raise his game to win this but why not? Shackleford might not last the distance, Ruler on Ice probably got lucky in the Belmont, Stay Thirsty ran well in the Jim Dandy but who did he beat? Coil is coming off an injury. I'm going to take a chance on Raison d'Etat and hope for the best.

Bill Mott had enough sense to put To Honor And Serve in allowance company (no mean feat with the colt owning 3 lifetime wins). How hard would it have been to get Raison d'Etat into a first condition allowance? What injury is Coil coming off of?

[quote=RolloTomasi;802999]I thought he looked terrible down the stretch in the Curlin, not like a horse on the improve. His maiden win was nice, and highly rated, but talk about a ragtag field.

From BRISnet - Baffert said that Coil scratched his right eye at some point after his most recent work, a six-furlong drill in 1:13 last Wednesday, but that the injury has been improving. "Coil's eye is getting better," Baffert said. "He scratched it somehow after I left and has a small ulcer. I'm going to breeze him after the break on Tuesday and make the call. It's always something." Baffert's assistant Jim Barnes said he has been keeping the eye covered and out of direct sunlight, and that the ulcer was on the colt's cornea. "We're not sure how it came up, if he scratched it in the work, bumped it in the stall or what," Barnes said. "You have to very careful, but it looks like it's doing fine."
