FG 4

New Orleans 'Cap

Compact field of six going nine panels for a half a million bucks. GRASSHOPPER picks up two pounds off his facile score in the prep, admittedly with a cool as a cucumber, ground saving ride. Today the Farish homebred figures to take a step forward and if he does he is strictly the one to beat. Silver Lord, who Lanerie calls the best he has ever ridden, figures to set the pace and the three pound weight shift is notable especially with this ones wide voyage in the Mineshaft. Robby will sit just off him and if he can wait long enough should get home.

Grasshopper who still has not worked in company as a 4yo, yet comes off the best work of his career Monday, getting his last eighth in eleven flat while well in hand and wanting to do more. This colt is a tremendous athelete and has excellent accelleration, yet team TAP enters a blinkered pair and Prado on the outside horse may have instructions to turn the heat up early and that would complicate the issue. A well weighted handicap but we will single nonetheless.

MUNIZ 'CAP

No real handle here other than Daytona looks vulnerable. A winner of four graded stakes in a row the Hendrix trainee picks up weight, draws outside, catches a course with plenty of give in the ground, loses his rider and returns on shorter rest than usual while earning frequent flyer miles. Will go five long Brilliant, Elusive Fort, Fracas, Proudinsky and Twilight Meteor.

OAKS

Indian Blessing will have less pace pressure than in her last but Proud Spell will be much tighter? Two deep.

Louisiana Derby

Would assume Nick Zito will be watching and would think, he will not only be concerned with his horse, and Pyro, but J BE K as well! Zayat, $350K 2yo will rock and roll on the front end and the last thing Zito wants to see is this one hang around! Pyro obviously is the one to beat and his ability is plenty evident with five solid rallies in as many tries. Two interesting entrants are Tale Of Ekati and Majestic Warrior. Both are graded stakes winners in good hands and make their sophomore debuts. We will catch them in Louisville. Call it 3 / 3,5,7,8,9 / 1,2 / 3,4 Play Sunday. Good cappin. BBB

That might pay $80.

Good luck.

Are you at all familiar with his history here?
