O K, I'll get to those in a moment:
Del Mar 8th--G2
#4 Big John B, 5/2 w/p
Del Mar 9th--G1
#5 Red Vine, 6-1 wps
Spa Alabama
#5 Embellish The Lace, throw out last race as she was taken out at the start. ml somewhere around 6-1 and should be around 10-1 at post.
Now, for the good plays!
Ellis Park 8th--approx. 4:10 edt
2yo going one mile on turf
#1 Uncle Brennie, 9/2
went way wide in debut and came up a little short, settling for 2nd vs a good one out of Tale Of The Cat. This colt out of Uncle Mo is bred on the dam side to really be a good weeds runner, but the owners sure hope trainer Brad Cox changes his style as they are regulars on the scene at Oaklawn. Should save ground from the inside and has enough early zip to not get trapped on the rail. 2nd out improvement puts this one not a maiden anymore!
For the night-owls!
Remington race 4 8:24 edt
#4 Poseidon"s Way, 2-1
3yo has been on break since Stakes race at Oaklawn in early April. Drops in now for a race written just for him, and his works leading up to comeback are right on point. Little Donnie has another one in here for Toby Keith that may help our price, and some others too from Assman which can't help but increase value. However, Poseidon will be short--priced but is the most likely winner running anywhere in the country today. Heavy on the win and slight on place.
Remington Race 5
DeBartolo Stakes $75k
Really strange group as 2 in here have run within the last 5 days???
Not like Lynn Chleborad to run right back, but #3 Ecleto Red, 7/2, looks like he used his last race as a blow-out work. Now he gets on turf and has the ability to take these w2w. If he stays in--load up on w/p.
good luck to all!
